City of Calgary
General Contractor in Calgary, AB
Calgary is home base for AM Builders, and our project mix reflects the city itself — character homes in inner-city communities that need renovation and basement development, newer builds in the suburbs that need additions or commercial tenant improvements, and everything in between. Calgary's older neighbourhoods often bring wiring, plumbing, or foundation conditions that need to be planned around, while newer communities tend to need permit coordination around community standards and infill guidelines. All building permits for Calgary projects go through the City of Calgary's permitting process, and we manage that submission as part of every project so you're not navigating it alone.

What permits does the City of Calgary require for basement development?
The City of Calgary requires a building permit for basement development that includes framing, electrical, plumbing, or a bedroom egress window. AM Builders prepares and submits the permit application as part of the project.
Do older Calgary homes need extra work before renovating?
Often, yes. Homes built before the 1980s in Calgary's inner-city communities sometimes have outdated electrical panels, galvanized plumbing, or knob-and-tube wiring that needs upgrading as part of a renovation. We flag these during our initial assessment so they're part of the plan, not a surprise mid-project.
Do you work in both inner-city and suburban Calgary communities?
Yes. We take on projects across Calgary, from character homes in established inner-city communities to newer builds in developing suburban areas.
