WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE DISTINCTIVE?

EXPERIENCE A DIFFERENT KIND OF HOME BUILDER

“More than you might expect,” explains certified Master Builder Bob Kocian, whose contributions to luxury-level, environmentally sustainable home building have forever changed the way people in the Bow Valley think about form, function and elegance.

“There’s much more to a great home than meets the eye. At Distinctive Homes, we pride ourselves on building superior homes from the inside out. And we’ve been embracing environmentally responsible building practices since long before it became fashionable to do so.”
– BOB KOCIAN

OUR GUARANTEE

WE STAND BY OUR HOMES

To each customer, we make a simple commitment: to create a home of superior quality and enduring value. We would be honoured to build one for you. Both our Warranty Services Department and the local trades and suppliers we hire stand behind your home for the duration of your 1-year comprehensive warranty period.

BUILT GREEN CERTIFIED

GOOD FOR YOUR FAMILY, GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

“More than you might expect,” explains certified Master Builder Bob Kocian, whose contributions to luxury-level, environmentally sustainable home building have forever changed the way people in the Bow Valley think about form, function and elegance.

You want exceptional living while still protecting the environment. The energy efficiencies we build into each Distinctively Green Certified home will also save you money. Over time, it means a healthier home that costs less to own, and a better, happier planet.

We’re singularly focused on staying true to our promise of building ‘green’ and we’re never content to simply meet industry standards for green living – we want to exceed them.

We assign a Distinctive Homes representative to your home to ensure consistent quality and high efficiency from start to finish. Instead of relying on periodic quality inspections, we frequently conduct comprehensive reviews and keep you involved throughout the entire process.

Built Green Certificate Testing Protocol

An independent inspector tests every Distinctive Home for duct-tightness, air-tightness and pressure-balancing. Visual inspections are done for framing, thermal envelope and ventilation detection. See the link below to read the details of our Distinctively Green Program, from appliances to windows to insulation and more.

PERPETUALLY AFFORDABLE HOUSING

GOOD FOR YOUR FAMILY, GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

As part of our commitment to the community that has supported us for over 25 years, we’re proud that many of our projects have units for the Perpetually Affordable Housing (PAH) ownership project for the Canmore Community Housing Corporation. This initiative was created for people who live and work in Canmore. It brings homeownership within reach to eligible residents.

Exceptional
Finishes

Each Distinctive Home has a broad selection of luxury finishes to take it from simply a house to your perfect home.
