Not exactly a new build, but just wrapping up a complete exterior remake of my house in Calgary. Did the interior 5 years ago and the siding was needing a face lift so this year we did windows, doors, a complete new deck with railings, new premium siding, soffit, fascia, eaves and now I'm finishing off the fence with new paint. Here's a few pics of the before, and the after.
Still got a little fascia and trough to complete but it's getting close to 100% now. Looks completely different, but love the new look...of an old house.
Lots done over the last two weeks.
Considering the weather, good progress made over the last two weeks.
cyle you might not make your goal of digging by october, permits and all that take alot of time to go through, my boss is building a new house next door to us and he submitted his permits in april and didnt get the okay till august 9th
People wait for permits to build since when? I'm not worried it's the slow time of year and if it's not quite done as long as i'm sure there won't be any issues i'll just start building. Doing the foundation and framing all by myself, I need all the time I can get before winter.
Town of Beaumont told me to have permits in place before framing inspection. No problem to get started on the basement as long as the application and of course the cheque are submitted. Difference may be that architectural controls does a pre-approval before permit application so the town just has to review and collect funds for issue of permit.Hope your not building in Strathcona County!!!:d
- Survey and RPR and Site Plan - 3 to 4 weeks
- Permits - 4 to 6 weeks
They showed up in my yard the day before the Development Permit was issued to see if I started.

Strathcona County are sticklers for following the rules. Wish I could have done it that way, I would have missed monsoon season and been working on the inside now.
Have you got started yet?
