As a Calgary infill builder, Armstrong Home Renovations designs and builds new homes on existing lots in Calgary’s established neighbourhoods. Every infill home we build is planned to fit the streetscape, the lot and your budget, so you get a modern home without giving up the community you love.
Why choose an infill home?
An infill home replaces an older house, or makes better use of a lot, in a neighbourhood that is already built out. For many families it is the best of both worlds: a brand-new home in a location with history and character.
- Location: Stay close to work, schools, parks, shops and transit instead of moving to the edge of the city.
- Mature neighbourhoods: Enjoy established trees, walkable streets and a settled community.
- New construction: Get modern insulation, windows, mechanical systems and layouts that are hard to achieve in an older house.
- Design freedom: Plan the rooms, finishes and features you want from the start.
Why work with a Calgary infill builder
Infill projects are different from building in a new subdivision. Lots are often narrow, neighbours are close on both sides, and the existing house, utilities and trees all need to be considered. Site access, deliveries and storage take more planning on a tight urban lot. An experienced Calgary infill builder plans for these details early, which helps avoid surprises once construction is under way.
Zoning matters too. Calgary has updated its land use rules to allow more housing choice in established areas, so what you can build depends on your lot. You can read more in the City of Calgary’s background on citywide rezoning. During design, we review your lot with you and plan a home that suits it.
Infill homes designed around you
Depending on your lot and its land use, options may include a single-detached home, a semi-detached (side-by-side) home, or a design that makes room for a secondary suite. We will talk through what makes sense for your family, your budget and your long-term plans.
Our design and planning process keeps you involved at every step. If you are comparing options, you can also see our custom homes page, or learn about full-home renovations if updating your current house is a better fit.

Infill home FAQs
Can I build an infill home on the lot I already own?
Often, yes. Many homeowners tear down an older house and build new on the same lot. What you can build depends on the lot size and its land use, which we review with you during design.
Should I renovate or build an infill?
It depends on the condition of your current home, your budget and how much you want to change. If the house has good bones, a renovation may be the better choice. If major systems, the layout and the foundation all need work, building new can offer more value. We are happy to give you an honest opinion on both.
