What we build

Top three benefits of building a shop

Added property value

A well-constructed shop is perfect for more than just storage and commercial use. It can add equity to your overall property footprint and is an excellent value-adding investment. A finished shop is a quality facility that would-be buyers cannot ignore, meaning that finished shop buildings often pay for themselves.

Secure, flexible space

A custom shop transforms a bare space into a flexible and adaptable asset. What starts as a shop can easily be modified into a mechanic shop, home workshop, or a secure equipment store. By loading extra options like insulation, heating, or mezzanine levels, your shop can become anything you need it to be.

Versatile everyday use

A shop is more than a commercial space; it’s somewhere you can shape around your lifestyle. Deploy it as a comfortable hobby studio, a seasonal workspace, or the headquarters of your home-based business. No matter which features you choose, a shop can always be further adapted, making it a versatile addition to your property.

Shop Types

Single-bay shop

Hobbyists or homeowners in need of safe storage often look for the single-bay option. This structure, with one main overhead door, can offer storage for tools or gear, or it can even house a single vehicle or a small workspace.

Two-bay shop

This is the most common option on the market. Two-bay shops normally offer about 1200 square feet of flexible working space. Featuring two overhead doors, they are popular choices for small businesses that need mixed-use options.

Multi-bay shop

Anything beyond two bays is known as “multi-bay.” For business owners in need of larger footprints to house multiple vehicles or more extensive equipment, this configuration gets the job done.

Shop with living quarters

Commonly known as a "shouse" (shop + house) or "barndominium," this type of flexible structure takes mixed use to the max by offering shop space and a living area at once. This selection is ideal for shop-houses or rental units.

Custom builds

Bespoke requests could include oversized machine shops, modular shop buildings, or pole shop structures, which call for a custom build. With this option, even the smallest detail, from roof pitch to door placement, is fabricated to the client's requirements.

Shop packages

Our comprehensive range of all-in-one shop packages makes the construction process easy. Our shop building packages in Alberta normally include a concrete slab, post-frame or steel framing, roofing, doors, windows, and electrical work.

Custom upgrades

Every home is different. That’s why we are here to support you personalize your workspace with industry-leading enhancements. Previous client requests have included heated floors, advanced ventilation, epoxy-coated surfaces, integrated cabinetry, or oversized doors for larger equipment, all of which we have successfully installed.

Shop specs

When building machine shops, home workshops, or building a shop with living quarters, engineered trusses are perfect as they perform in extreme climates. They provide strength and stability, not to mention generous headroom, even during heavy snowstorms. roof vents or skylights also improve airflow and natural light.

The framing systems we install offer excellent structural ballast and can always accommodate more insulation, drywall, or shelving. We offer 2×4 or 2×6 walls, with the thicker of the two a solid option if you want to super-insulate for winter efficiency or install heavy-duty fixtures along the walls.

Perfect for Alberta’s harsh winters, 32 MPa reinforced concrete slab with a rebar grid is the go-to formulation in the industry that adds durability. It effectively protects your property from cracking and shifting, making it the perfect solution for handling heavy equipment, vehicles, or workshop machinery.

For maintaining a dry and energy-efficient pole shop, we install OSB or plywood sheathing with Tyvek/Typar house wrap. This configuration ensures that your shop stays dry, free of drafts, and comfortable in every season.

If you are building a shop with living quarters in Alberta, a metal roof improves snow-shedding in winter and can prolong the lifespan of your structure. As part of our shop building packages, laminated asphalt shingles are standard, giving you both reliable weather resistance as well as curb appeal.

Electrical sub-panels, outlets, and bright LED lighting all come as standard in our shop-office combinations. We can even facilitate key upgrades such as 240V service for welders and heavy equipment, or dedicated EV charging stations to give your space the multifunctional finish you ned.

We specialize in providing insulated overhead doors for easy access and energy efficiency. At the same time, we can accommodate decorative windows for natural light and style. We understand that having solid entry doors protects your investment, and strategically placed windows improve ventilation and reduce the need for artificial lighting.

Having a beautiful exterior is one thing, but all the work happens on the inside. We can help you turn a plan shop interior into a hobby studio, professional workshop, or multi-purpose facility that fits your colour preference. Our full installation options give you comfort, while epoxy-coated floors that resist spills and wear.

We are guided by your personal taste, and that’s why all our colours, trims, and siding options are fully customizable. Whether you want your prefab shop to stand out from your house or blend right in, our custom siding styles can help you achieve what you want.

Shop Pricing

No two shop build projects in Alberta are exactly alike, but many fall into similar configurations in terms of size and use cases. Depending on the condition of the site, the complexity of the design, and the selections you’ve chosen, each shop building package comes at a slightly different price.
