Infill Home Builder Edmonton

An infill home is a brand new home that is built on an existing lot in an established neighbourhood. Infill homes can subdivide larger lots or replace older, demolished homes.

Here's a breakdown of the primary factors influencing your infill project's budget:

Land: Location, size, lot servicing, and potential demolition influence the land price.

Construction Costs: Home design, finishes (interior & exterior), landscaping all impact construction costs.

Cost per Square Foot:

As a general estimate, custom infill homes in Edmonton typically range from $250 to $300 per square foot of construction, excluding the cost of land acquisition.

Considering subdividing your Edmonton property to create smaller lots? It's a possibility! Here's a quick overview:

Feasibility:

Subdivision is generally achievable, but the final lot sizes will depend on City of Edmonton regulations.

Key Considerations:

• Minimum Side Yards: Edmonton requires a minimum of 4 feet for side yards on each new lot. This directly impacts the width of your buildable area.

• Prevalent Lot Width: Most Edmonton lots are 50 feet wide. With minimum side yards, this allows for the construction of "skinny homes" typically around 17 feet wide.

At Omni Homes, we understand the importance of transparency throughout the infill construction process. Here's a general timeline to keep in mind:

• Subdivision Approval: This depends on Land Titles office processing times and typically takes around 3 months.

• Construction Timeline: The demolition of the existing home and construction of your new infill home is estimated to take 8-10 months. However, this timeframe can vary depending on several factors:

  • Project Size & Complexity: Larger homes with intricate designs naturally take longer to build.

  • Material & Labor Availability: Unexpected delays with materials or labor can impact the schedule.

Designing your dream infill home is about creating a beautiful and functional space. Here's the secret:

• Plan for Life: Think flow (open concept?) and dedicated spaces (home office?). Design for how you'll use your home.

• Lighten Up: Natural light is key! Maximize windows where you can.

• Strategic Splurges: While creating a luxurious feel, remember you don't have to splurge everywhere. Invest in high-quality statement pieces like a statement chandelier!

• Curb Appeal Counts: Create a beautiful facade that complements your neighborhood's style.

Balancing style and budget is key!

It can sometimes be more costly than building in a new development due to factors like demolition costs, potential soil issues, and higher land values in established areas. However, long-term returns on investment in desirable central areas can be higher. Check out our blog for more information on this topic.

Building an infill home utilizes existing infrastructure like water and sewer. This can decrease how long building a brand new home takes, and ensures that once your home is built you’re no longer in a construction zone.
