Our Multi-Family Home Design Process

Initial Consultation

We begin by understanding your project goals, whether your development goals are larger or small, discussing your vision for the development and the needs of the residents.

Feasibility & Planning

Now it’s time to start your custom home design. We’ll put your ideas into drawings, pausing as often as needed to ensure we’re headed in the right direction. 

Develop

After you approve the sketches, we’ll create detailed drawings using 3D modelling software to illustrate more aspects of your home. This will help you visualize the interior and exterior of your home, how it flows from room to room, and each room’s orientation. 

Design Development

At this stage, your home’s design details are complete. Next comes the approval process, where you’ll require the necessary permits to start developing your custom home.

Municipal Approval

By now, you’ll have a chosen custom home builder who will begin to develop your new home. But don’t worry, we’re still here for you! We’ll be there throughout the creative and construction process of building, happy to provide direction, make amendments if needed, or answer any more questions.
“We’ve been working with Brent and his team at Ellergodt Design for more than 7 years now, we’ve done many spec homes and multi family with Brent and many custom homes in Calgary and it’s surroundings. Brent and his team are amazing to work with, their creativity and attention to details is exceptional, their city bylaws knowledge and their quick turn around is a true professional service. As a developer and a builder, we can’t ask for more.”

FAQs About Multi-Family Home Design

What is multi-family home design?

Multi-family home design involves creating housing units for multiple families within a single development, such as triplexes, fourplexes, and larger developments. Each unit is designed to balance privacy and shared spaces.

Is multi-family home design different from single-family design?

Yes, multi-family home designs require careful planning to balance the needs of multiple families in one development, focusing on shared spaces, privacy, and efficient use of land, which differs from single-family home design.

Is an architect needed for multi family home design?

If a residential building in Alberta is to exceed 5 units, an architect will be needed. We collaborate with skilled architects in Calgary and the surrounding areas, ensuring the execution of your income property design runs meets zoning and building codes.
