One of the first questions people ask when they reach out is some version of: “Do you build out here?” Fair question. A lot of builders market broadly and then quietly limit where they’ll actually take on a project. Landry Homes builds in Edmonton, Sherwood Park, and St. Albert. That’s…

We get asked this occasionally, usually by clients who’ve done their research: “How many homes do you build a year?” When we answer — and it’s a number that’s deliberately smaller than what most builders our size would aim for — the follow-up question is usually: “Why?” This post is…

Garage suites — sometimes called garage loft suites or carriage houses — are one of the most-asked-about features in Edmonton custom home builds right now. The appeal is obvious: rental income, in-law suite, home office, or housing for adult children, all on your own property without giving up your garage.…

Most people who call us have the same concern: “I don’t want to waste your time if I’m not ready.” Here’s the thing — there’s no such thing as not being ready for an initial consultation. You don’t need a floor plan, a lot, or a firm budget. You just…

Edmonton’s climate is one of the most demanding in Canada for residential construction. We’re talking about a city where temperatures can hit -40°C in January and +35°C in July — a swing of 75 degrees over the course of a year. Add in significant freeze-thaw cycling in spring and fall,…

Two styles dominate the custom home conversation in Edmonton right now: modern farmhouse and contemporary. Both are popular, both photograph well, and both can be executed beautifully. But they’re not interchangeable — and one of them is almost certainly a better fit for your neighbourhood and lifestyle than the other.…

Infill development is one of the most misunderstood parts of Edmonton’s housing market. The idea is straightforward: tear down an older home on an existing city lot, and build a new one (or two) in its place. The execution is anything but simple. Done right, infill gives you a brand-new…

When you buy or build a new home in Alberta, you’re automatically covered by the Alberta New Home Warranty Program (ANHWP). Most buyers know the warranty exists — fewer understand exactly what it covers, what it doesn’t, and what to do when something goes wrong. This post breaks down the…

Choosing a home builder is one of the most consequential decisions you’ll make in the whole process. The wrong one costs you money, time, and a lot of stress. The right one makes building a home feel manageable — even enjoyable. This isn’t a generic checklist you’ve seen before. This…

A lot of clients come to us having already narrowed their search to two options: stay inside Edmonton city limits, or build in Sherwood Park. Both are great choices — but they’re not interchangeable, and the differences matter more than most people expect going in. We’ve built in both. This…

One of the first things people ask when they’re thinking about building a custom home in Edmonton is some version of: “How long is this going to take?” It’s a fair question, and the honest answer is usually 12 to 14 months from contract signing to possession — sometimes less…

If you’ve started researching custom home costs in Edmonton, you’ve probably run into a lot of vague answers — “it depends,” “anywhere from $300K to $1M,” and the always-helpful “call for a quote.” That’s not useful when you’re trying to figure out whether building is even an option for your…
