What You Need to Know About Calgary Custom Home Building
Often times Calgary custom home builds evolve from assessing a current property and home structure and determining if it is more cost effective to build versus completing a full home renovation. In other scenarios, homeowners may have purchased an infill lot with the intent to do a knock down or they have found the perfect acreage property in which they wish to build their dream home.
Whatever the reason for this exciting decision, hiring a professional and trustworthy custom home builder ensures you are carefully guided through the various steps to achieve a successful end result. Custom homes – like home renovations – require a great deal of due diligence to ensure the structural, functional, and aesthetic requirements are well planned and make the most of your budget expectations. Utilizing Pinnacle Group Renovations’ proprietary Design Discovery Process, our team will help uncover the why behind your custom home and will determine how you want to live in your home both now and in the future.
Pinnacle’s experts will address what each family member requires from their home spaces and will delve into design inspirations unique to you and your family; these are what we refer to as “inspired living” influences and ultimately what makes your house a home. Perhaps it is a special hobby, activity or sport, a favourite place to travel, or a family heirloom that is creatively tied into the rich atmosphere we help you conceive.
Asking the right questions from the onset is imperative; including questions that address future planning for aging in place. As well, if you have any family members with accessibility issues, there are many options you can incorporate into the design of your home that can improve quality of life and ensure everyone has comfortable and safe access to your home environment.
Having Pinnacle’s experts ask you questions you may not have thought about will ensure no stone is left unturned when it comes to your luxury home build and will eliminate regrets after the completion.
Pinnacle Group Renovations offers a FREE assessment, called a Feasibility Study, for customers considering Pinnacle as their Calgary custom home builder. Whether you are considering Renovating or a Custom Build, we want to make sure you have considered all the factors listed below:
- Lot size
- Lot shape
- Site lines
- Sun exposure
- Neighbourhood location
- Height, lot encroachment, and setbacks (the standard set by adjacent homes)
- Building Permits vs Development Permits (Pinnacle Group is a Design-Build firm and takes care of applying for all the necessary permits)
- Neighbourhood architectural guidelines/controls
These important factors are necessary to determine if the size and style of the home you wish to build or renovate can be achieved.

Pinnacle Group Renovations' owner, Paul, has designed a great process...
…very similar to a commercial building project. The SCC Guarantee was the main reason we chose Pinnacle Group. No one else would guarantee a start and finish date. Jami is very good at what she does. She thinks functionally and from an ‘aging in place’ perspective. We have a future proof design. When there were hiccups, Paul and his project manager immediately took responsibility and communicated a resolution plan. The finished product is better than anything that we have seen or were expecting. The Pinnacle staff made it so we could trust them and have faith they would get it all done. If someone wants a renovation done on time and on budget, they should choose Pinnacle Group Renovations.

100% great experience with Paul, the owner of the Pinnacle Group, and his staff...
“Paul held himself to a high standard and ensured that quality work was done. We thank God for Jami, their designer. She had good ideas, listened to us, and delivered on the functionality and also made our kitchen and home look pretty. Pinnacle’s Site Supervisor, Brennan, answered questions and was very professional. He found solutions and got things done. He always talked to us and was detail oriented. We have already recommended Pinnacle Group because they are ethical and solution oriented. Pinnacle did the project on time and with quality. We could trust them and the whole team is great. You pay a premium price with Pinnacle but it is money well spent and they deal with issues professionally.”
The best thing about Pinnacle Group is that they're honest and fair...
We trust them, and that’s everything. They didn’t always try to be right, but listened and were fair to deal with. Paul, the owner, has a good handle on the trades and sub trades. He knows his business very well. Jami is a wonderful designer, patient, always very helpful and open to feedback. We love Pinnacle Site Supervisors, Brennan and Grant. They were patient and would explain everything. They were also open to moving things or making changes for us. Pinnacle did an outstanding job. We can tell by the feedback from our family and friends how impressed they are.”
Cynthia & David P, SW Calgary, AB
“Pinnacle Group's trades and the millwork people did a really good job...
We liked the personalities of Paul, Pinnacle Group’s owner, Brennan, their site supervisor, and Jami, their designer, as well as attending the Pinnacle open houses. We wanted an established company because we were having a load bearing post removed, and needed to make sure the company was legit. We value the quality of the reno and working with Jami. Brennan gave good suggestions too, like the pantry redesign. We actually miss interacting with Brennan, Jami! and the team! Pinnacle was pleasant to work with and the quality is great. We are happy with our reno.”
Deborah and Dean S, NW Calgary, AB
We totally enjoyed working with Paul, the owner of Pinnacle Group, and Jami, their designer
They were friendly, professional, and we enjoyed the experience. Brennan and Grant, the site supervisors, were warm, friendly, and really down to earth. They explained things in a way I could understand. They would resolve any concerns I had during the process. We recommend Pinnacle for the quality of workmanship, their timelines and good communication. When I recommend them to my friends and neighbours, I tell them you have to pay for quality. We ended up renovating the whole house. We got our money’s worth.

I interviewed 3 companies, and it was the interaction with Pinnacle Group's owner, Paul Klassen, that sold the project. and Jami, their designer.
From our conversation, I got a good sense of his character. He was genuine and trustworthy, so we proceeded with Pinnacle. The group as a whole was fantastic. The project was on time and on budget. The way Brennan and Grant, the site supervisors, handled themselves was great. When there were issues, Brennan and Grant listened and they delivered what they said they would.”
