Vleeming Custom Homes prices each project using detailed plans and verified selections. This upfront diligence eliminates surprise costs and ensures that when we provide a number, it is reliable, realistic, and based on your specific home design and materials.
Craftsmanship ensures your home performs as beautifully as it looks. At Vleeming, skilled trades are involved early, and details like insulation, air sealing, and mechanical system design are double-checked. This focus creates a home that feels right, works efficiently, and lasts for decades.
Through our Pre-Construction Planning process, we design, refine, and price every detail before building begins. You walk through your future home in 3D, choose materials and finishes, and understand costs and performance upfront. This approach prevents surprises and ensures a smooth construction experience.
A Vleeming home is designed around your life, your land, and your vision. Every decision starts with your story, not a pre-made plan. We study your property, its features, and your lifestyle to create a home that fits perfectly. Planning, craftsmanship, and collaboration ensure your home performs beautifully for decades.
Many builders claim their homes are energy efficient, but only a few go beyond the minimum code. To verify, ask to see EnerGuide labels for at least four recent projects. At Vleeming Custom Homes, we provide this proof because our homes feature superior insulation, airtight construction, and mechanical systems sized for low energy use.
Yes. Investing in quality now means a higher-quality home, peace of mind, and long-term savings over a home built with shortcuts or cheaper materials.
A lower upfront cost often means lower quality. Vleeming homes save you money and headaches in the long run through durability, lower maintenance, and energy efficiency.
Our pricing reflects the care, quality, and attention to detail in every home. We work with top-tier subcontractors, conduct frequent inspections, and invest extra time in planning to ensure your home is built to last.
Projects within a 1.5-hour radius of Lacombe/Ponoka have no travel fees. For locations farther away, travel charges and project eligibility are determined on a case-by-case basis.
No, we also build cost-conscious homes that maintain our high standards of quality and energy efficiency. If high-end finishes aren’t a priority and you prefer a solid, well-built home without the extra decorative features, we can make it happen. While we won’t match the price of a volume builder, our approach ensures every detail is carefully planned and executed to last. Quality is always worth it, and it can be affordable.
Our pre-construction planning phase, which includes design and 3D modeling, typically takes three to six months. Once construction begins, most homes are completed and ready for possession within six to eight months.
Our caring, collaborative process begins with an introductory meeting where we explore your vision for your dream home and you learn about us. Next comes an extensive pre-construction planning phase that includes 3D modeling and selection of finishes. Once the details are worked out in this planning phase, we begin building. After final quality checks, you take possession of your dream home.
Because every Vleeming home is uniquely designed to match each client’s vision, a cost-per-square-foot estimate isn’t an accurate reflection of what we do. We’re happy to meet with you to discuss your project goals, and once we understand your needs, we can provide an approximate budget range for your custom home.
ICE panels have an R-value of 23 to 55, while ICF starts at R20. These values outperform wood and concrete, which are around R16. Keep in mind, these are material R-values, not effective R-values. Effective R-values measure the performance of the entire system, not just the insulating material.
Yes, we do. We’ve built several homes using ICF, either as a foundation with wood framing or ICE Panels above grade, or for the entire structure. We’ve even completed additions on existing ICF homes.
Yes, we are always excited to take on new clients. At Vleeming Custom Homes, we combine expert craftsmanship, innovative design, and a commitment to quality to bring your custom home or renovation project to life. Contact us today to start building the home you have always dreamed of.
Building an energy-efficient home involves more than just the walls. When considering the entire home, our research shows that a quality ICE Panel home typically costs about 10 to 15 percent more than a conventional wood and concrete build, reflecting the long-term value, efficiency, and durability.
Comparing the cost of a custom home between builders is never straightforward. Every builder has a different approach and quality standards, so the same plans can result in very different outcomes. Buying a custom home is not like shopping for a TV. It requires understanding the full scope of design, materials, and craftsmanship. At Vleeming Custom Homes, we can take your existing plans and use them as the starting point for our detailed Pre-Construction planning process. Think of us as your consultant, guiding your project from concept to completion while ensuring every detail meets our high standards of quality and durability.
Yes. We handle the design in-house because our proactive approach ensures efficiency, practicality, and a home tailored perfectly to you.
We sometimes have lots available, which you can find on our Show Homes page or by contacting us directly. While we don’t carry a full inventory of lots, we work closely with several great developments, including those on Buffalo Lake and Gull Lake, and can help you find the perfect location for your dream home.
