Trickle Creek Custom Homes Inc

What Trickle Creek Custom Homes Inc does

Trickle Creek Custom Homes Inc is a privately held, Calgary-based custom homebuilder founded by Michael Tew, operating from 1215 13 St SE Unit 101. The company delivers an integrated design-build offering that combines architectural design, interior design, construction, and project management under a single vendor, serving primarily high-net-worth residential homeowners within roughly a one-hour drive of Calgary (including Upper Mount Royal, Bel-Aire Estates, Elboya, Bankview, Mount Royal, Lakeview, Wildwood, and Springbank Hill). It also serves acreage and rural property owners seeking larger lots outside Calgary and offers standalone architectural design services globally for clients who cannot build with it physically.

The company generates revenue through one-time custom home construction contracts (typically 2,800–5,500+ sq ft luxury builds, with reported examples delivered in approximately 11 months from architectural planning through furniture install), professional services fees for architectural design (a roughly three-month process for full construction plans in Alberta or concept designs internationally), quick-possession / move-in-ready home sales (including the 2025 Charlotte show home in Upper Mount Royal), and land-acquisition assistance as a preferred builder in the Silverhorn and The Heights communities. Pricing is quote-based with no stated minimum budget and is driven by square footage and customization choices; quotes are captured through a Typeform contact form with a 48-hour response SLA. The marketing motion is sales-led and consultative, anchored by a portfolio website, an active showhome, and broad social media presence (Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest, Facebook).

The company is founder-led and appears entirely bootstrapped, with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no patents. The team of 18+ includes architects, designers, estimators, project managers, a production manager, a construction manager, a site supervisor, a business development strategist, and a service/warranty coordinator. Notable recognition includes the 2025 BILD Award for Best Interior Design for The Varsity project, and the portfolio spans 33+ documented builds across Calgary neighborhoods and one international design project (Flipper Bend, Signal Mountain, Tennessee).
