How We Build Affordable, Energy-Efficient Homes in Cranbrook
1. Consultation
We start with an in-depth discussion to understand your vision, budget, and goals. If needed, we assess the suitability of your lot, ensuring it meets the requirements for your project. We also introduce you to Munter’s high-performance and passive house standards, explaining how we prioritize energy efficiency and sustainability from the start.
2. Design & Planning
Our team creates a preliminary design, conducting material takeoffs and ensuring everything aligns with your budget. We make any necessary adjustments to the design before finalizing, ensuring it’s exactly what you envision. Once confirmed, we establish a fixed-price contract, so there are no surprises down the line
3. Construction
Building your home begins with key stages, including foundation, framing, electrical and plumbing rough-ins, insulation, energy efficiency checks, and interior finishes. We apply passive house principles throughout, and our mid-construction blower door testing helps us meet rigorous energy efficiency targets, making your home sustainable and efficient.
4. Client Involvement
You’re kept in the loop through regular updates via our construction management software. We encourage you to visit the site for feedback and to stay engaged. For those interested in cost savings, we offer an option to build to the lock-up stage, allowing you to complete your own finishing work.
5. Final Steps
Before you move in, we conduct a final walkthrough to ensure all finishes and systems meet your standards. We complete a final blower door test for energy certification (if applicable) and finalize inspections for occupancy certification. To prepare you for your new home, we provide a maintenance overview, so you feel confident and ready to settle in.
What Kootenay Homeowners Love About Us
I knew that selecting a company to build my new home was a big decision. And I am so glad I chose Munter. During the design, Robin somehow incorporated all the key aspects I was looking for across different ideas. But he also ensured the design covered other important considerations I would never have thought about. During the build, Trent took over. I expected a project manager to line-up the trades and a schedule. But beyond impressive was Trent’s attention to every detail to deliver quality. And, he had the construction problem solving experience to resolve the trickiest situations that popped during the build. Next, were the Munter permanent employees and sub-contracted trades. All of them dedicated to making it right while being fun, engaging, respectful and always cleaning up at the end of the day. Overall, Robin assembled a team with a culture of quality and customer satisfaction. They were all very responsive from first to finish. Thank you for making my dream home a reality. I would pick Munter again if I were to build another house! - Josee Loudiadis
Robin and his team were simply outstanding. They squeezed into their busy schedule but didn't make us feel like we were just a "second-class client." Robin did a great job of designing our kitchen and got the project done on-time and on-budget. Robin and his crew(s) were easy to work with, always cleaned up at the end of the day and made a difficult renovation as painless as possible. I would highly recommend Munter to anyone looking for either build a new home or renovate their existing home. Thanks for transforming our home! - John J. Maddigan
We recently moved into our new custom home; built and designed by Munter Design and Build. We can’t say enough about how happy we are! The home was built with care and precision. The attention to detail that Robin gave to the project was excellent. Throughout the building process, Robin made himself available to us at any time for any questions or concerns we might have. Robin respectfully listened to our ideas and tried his best to make them become a reality. The crew working for Munter are professional and knowledgeable. The pride that Robin and his crew took to ensure everything was done correctly was so very appreciated. We have a beautiful and very unique home and we would highly recommend Munter to anyone looking for a capable high quality custom designer/builder. Thank you Munter! Anita and Joel Savage
