Research
Begin the research process by defining your basic wants and needs in a home, then get an idea of what is out there by visiting show homes, websites, social media accounts and seeking out personal recommendations.
WestCreek builds clarity through communication, and you can count on our polished process to deliver trust and transparency at every step. While this part of the process can feel long or overwhelming at times, it’s worth the wait. We’ve made it even easier by breaking down each step in the customer and home buying journey to show each and every one of our customers what it’s like to build with WestCreek.

We love to answer questions, even before you ask them. These are some of the most common questions we get asked about buying a new home, designing, and becoming a WestCreek homeowner.
Our head office is open Monday – Friday from 8 am to 5 pm. Our show homes hours may vary by location, but you can check for the current times on our Contact page.
On the conditions that the purchase has been lifted and financials are in order, our new home builds are generally based on above timeline, but can vary by 1 – 2 weeks, depending on unforeseen circumstances. Have a look at our Process to see our proven process in greater detail.
By building in communities developed by our parent company, we know that we can trust that the choices made by the developer are in the best interest of our homeowners. This will create a community that brings its residents together and ensure that the quality groundwork done by WestCreek Developments will service families for generations to come.

*Did you know? With a lot deposit we will provide a pre-plot of your home so
you can see how it fits on your new lot!
We want you to know what is happening during every single part of the home building process, and we’ve made that easy for you with our Customer Journey Guide binder, and online client portals. We will provide 10 photos of your home through the building process. The next steps in the process outline a general timeline (subject to change) of what you can expect and when.
The details of your home are compiled on a summary check sheet and sent to our trade partners. This is to advise them of the new home purchase so they can start working on designs and start compiling information for your visit.
This part of the process can feel overwhelming at times, but we understand, and we are always here to help.
We’ll provide you with a detailed list of all our trade partners that you will need to visit – and in what order – making the process simple and in manageable steps. Below is an example of the timelines we provide to help keep you on track. If you are getting close to an end date, don’t worry, we still have time to help you get your choices completed.
By visiting our partners showrooms, you are given the opportunity to see all of their available products – more than you would see in a traditional design centre. You will work closely with designers who are experts in their fields, knowing the latest in design trends and styles, helping you make your dream come to life in your new home.
This process can take as little as two weeks to over a month depending on your availability, wants and needs. There are approximately 8 meetings to attend and make selections during this phase. These are some pretty important decisions to make during this stage, so we encourage you to take your time!
At this time, your new house will receive its first inspection from the City of Calgary’s building inspectors. They will ensure that all relevant building codes are met prior to our WestCreek Homes team beginning to backfill your house. A WestCreek representative will be there for all inspections.
With the finish line in sight, all thermostats, faucets, and sinks get installed, including all your beautiful new light fixtures.
Our WestCreek Homes construction manager will go through the home and mark any areas that require a light touch up before the house is ready for you.
As a final step, all your home’s appliances will be delivered, inspected, installed and tested.
With possession date just a few days away, we will meet for a pre-occupancy orientation. During this meeting our construction team will demonstrate how certain components work, how to take care of your home and note any deficiencies that may need to be repaired before occupancy. This will take place 7 days before move-in.
Thank you for taking this journey with WestCreek Homes. We hope you enjoy your home as much as we enjoyed building it.
