Modern Custom Home built by Liske Developments.

Liske Developments Ltd. makes one simple promise… You will love your home.

Liske Developments Ltd. is an Edmonton based construction company that specializes in building custom living spaces that fit the owner perfectly. Whether it is a renovation, a small starter home, a new home in a new or mature neighborhood or an estate home on a large acreage lot, we will ensure you will have a home you will love.

Liske Developments Ltd. has been building in Edmonton and all surrounding areas for the past 50 years. Almost all of our business comes from personal referrals or repeat clients who want to build another home with us. We choose to limit the number of homes we build in a year to ensure a continuous hands on approach because we believe quality far out weighs quantity.

Our Process

- Finances - One of the first things you will need to do is determine the overall budget for your new home.The budget will drive the entire design and specs of your home.
- Wish List - One of the first things you need to do when you decide to build a custom home is determine what your wish list is. Essentially, what you would like your home to be like. This is obviously going to be driven by your budget, but no matter how large or small your budget may be, dream a little bit.
- Purchase a lot, mature home or an acreage - Because we are a very small, specialized builder, we do not have access to many lots in the newer subdivisions. Therefore, 90% of our clients already have purchased property somewhere in or around the Edmonton area. Because of this, many of our builds are in either mature neighborhoods (50%), on acreages (25%) or on large estate lots that are open to public purchase (10%). If you would like help finding the right lot for you and your family, we would be happy to help in that process.
- Design - At this point, we can roughly estimate how much your house will cost per square foot so that you can begin to sit down with one of our designers and be able to determine the size of house you will be able to build and the interior detail you would like. You would then begin designing your home. You can start from scratch. You can bring ideas. You can bring pictures. You can do what ever you want to design a house that will fit perfectly for you and your family. Be creative. Make it personal. Our designers have a lot of great ideas and have years of experience behind them. They will make sure that your house will be exactly the way you want it - a one-of-a-kind home that fits you perfectly.
- Specs - As you go through the designing, we will also sit down with you to discuss what you would like inside and outside your home. Do you want Vynal siding? Hardi Board? Stucco? What kind of flooring would you like? Would you like granite in your home? A tile shower? A spiral staircase? What kind of insulation would you like? Infloor heating? As we talk through all these details, we also look at your preliminary plans and make recommendations. Every client has their own unique set of specs which is what makes your custom home, truly custom.
- Cost - Once the design is finished and the specs are completed, we are then able to give you a firm cost on your home. This cost reflects the final design and the final specs, and if no further changes are made during the building process, that cost is exactly how much you will pay for your home.
- Along with this, we can give you a list of reputable suppliers that we love dealing with that give you "builders pricing" so you can make your allowances go as far as possible.
- Also, at this time we are able to give you "allowances" that you are able to spend on such things as cabinets, lighting, flooring, plumbing fixtures, etc... You are given the freedom to use those allowances as much or as little as you want and you can transfer those funds to other areas of the house as well. For example, if you don't use up your entire allowance on your cabinets, you can use the extra on flooring or plumbing fixtures or what ever you would like.
- Agreement - It is always important to sit down and take a final look at everything. If everyone is happy, the agreement is signed and we begin to build your new home.
- Selections - Now, the fun part - making your home a reality. Very quickly you will be required to visit our cabinet designer, make decisions about plumbing fixtures, select flooring materials, and select lighting fixtures. We will give you a list of items that you will need to select through the entire building process. All that we require is that you let us know your selections in a timely fashion. We will give you LOTS of lead time to determine when items need to be selected. You will find that there are many decisions that need to be made and we can be as helpful as you want us to be in that process.
- Stay involved - This is vital in the building of a custom home. We will call you MANY times through the process and you will call us MANY times as well. We will give you our personal cell phone numbers so that we can be available to you any time you need.
- Visit the Site - We ask that you visit the site often. Unlike many builders, you may visit as much as you want. In fact, we even give you your own personal key. Get to know our trades. Inspect how things are going. These kinds of actions can only make your house better and more to what you desire it to be.
- Walkthrough - Once the home is completed, we walk through it with you to make sure everything is to your satisfaction. At this point you are welcome to move into your new home and begin your life there.
- A one-of-a-kind custom home is never an easy thing to build. Because of this, often times there are little tweaks here and there that need to be taken care of. It could be anything from adjusting the fan speed on your furnace to repairing a nail pop in the drywall. If these items come up, we are always around to make sure that it gets fixed and dealt with (after all, you have our cell phone numbers).

About

LaVern Liske built his first home over 50 years ago for his young, growing family. For 20 years, while working full time in the telecommunications industry, he continued to build homes on a part time basis. In 2002, he decided to custom build on a full-time basis.

Using his core of reliable sub-trades, many years of experience, and word of mouth advertising, he continued to build, taking only 4 - 5 projects at a time. In 2007 his son, Brad Liske, joined his dad in building quality homes for families in Edmonton and the surrounding area. In 2018, Lavern retired and Brad took over the company. To this day, there is nothing more important than making sure that every home is built with the highest standards, using the best people. By the time your home is complete, every client is able to say without question, that the simple promise was fulfilled... they love their home

Values

We take on very few projects every year. This is by choice, because we believe that quality far out weights quantity. Because we only build a few homes a year: we are able to be there every day, meet with you as the client on a one-on-one basis and get to know exactly how you would like your new home to look and feel.
We invite you as the client to take an active part in all aspects of the process of creating your unique home.
We invite you to visit your new home as often as you like. We give you a key so that you are able to come and go as you please. After all, it is your home.
We have some of the best sub-trades in Edmonton, many of which we have been using for over 15 years. They know the quality we expect.
We are registered with National New Home Warranty so you can know with certainty that you will always be well taken care of.
We are not a custom builder in the common sense of the word. We have no templates or stock blueprints or a standard set of specs. We create unique, one-of-a-kind living spaces based on the unique tastes and lifestyles of our clients. Every home is a one-of-a-kind work of art.
What does this mean? Simply put, we are a small family business that prides itself on creating great homes for other families. Brad Liske is a 2nd generation builder who grew up playing and working on Liske Developments construction sites. He worked together with his dad for many years before taking over the company in 2018 so his dad could retire.
Brad’s wife, LeeAnn, takes care of all the books and has been known to help with some design, painting, cleaning or whatever else needs doing.
As a family we work together to make sure that our clients love their homes.
