Investment Guide

Flat rates. No surprises.

The number you approve on signing day is the number you pay on completion day. No estimates, no creeping costs, no games.

Every investment is built on a $100/hr true labour burden rate, a 10% contingency buffer, and a fair, transparent margin. These are not estimates — they are flat rates. Changes require a signed Change Order before any work proceeds.

Medicine Hat Market Context

These tiers are calibrated for Medicine Hat's real market. Comparable work in Calgary is quoted 15–25% higher. The investment levels below represent premium-standard work at a price point that is achievable in a mid-sized Alberta city — without compromising the standard. All prices are in Canadian dollars. GST is additional.

Payment Structure

Three milestones. You hold 30% until it's done.

The 35/35/30 structure is designed to protect you. You never pay more than 70% until the final walkthrough is complete and every punch list item is resolved. This is not standard practice in Medicine Hat. It is the standard here.

35%

Commencement

Due on signing. Secures your start date and initiates material ordering.

35%

Rough-In Complete

Due when rough-in is inspected and approved. Covers all labour and materials to date.

30%

Final Completion

Due at the final walkthrough — after every punch list item is resolved to your satisfaction.
