About
At Bowood, ‘custom’ means exactly that.
We focus on homes that feel right for how you live—not someone else’s idea of what’s “in.”
Every home we build is truly one of a kind. In over 40 years, we’ve never built the same house twice. Every design you see in our gallery reflects the unique tastes, needs, and lifestyle of the family who lives there.
When we say true custom building, we mean it. Your home isn’t based on a template and doesn’t start with compromises.
From your morning coffee nook to a perfectly placed mudroom for the dogs, every decision is shaped by you.
When you work with Bowood, you’re not just getting a house—you’re getting a team that listens, collaborates, and delivers. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about what works for everyone—it’s about what works for you.
Where do we build?
We specialize in building and renovating homes across Central Alberta, with most of our work centered in the Red Deer area and Sylvan Lake.
Many of the homes we create in Sylvan Lake are vacation properties for clients from Calgary, Edmonton, or even farther afield. Whether you’re nearby or coordinating your build from a distance, we’ve developed proven strategies to make the process seamless, no matter where you are.
While we don’t typically maintain an inventory of lots, we’re happy to help you find the perfect spot—whether it’s a quiet lakefront property, a sprawling acreage, or a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.
Our Values
At Bowood, building isn’t just about craftsmanship—it’s about the principles that guide every decision we make:
✔️ Transparency You Can Trust
From budgets to timelines, you’ll always know where your project stands. We believe honesty is non-negotiable and keep you informed at every step.
✔️ Every Detail, Done Right
Whether it’s the custom millwork in your kitchen or the energy efficiency of your insulation, we don’t cut corners. We build homes that last—and details you’ll still love a decade from now.
✔️ A Process That Works for You
Your input isn’t just welcome—it’s essential. From showroom visits to site consultations, we work with you every step of the way to ensure your home feels just right.
✔️ Respect for Everyone Involved
Whether it’s you, your vision, or the skilled trades we work with, mutual respect is at the core of everything we do. Building your home is a partnership, and we treat it as such.
✔️ Craftsmanship That Speaks for Itself
Our homes aren’t just built to meet today’s standards—they’re designed to stand the test of time. That’s why our clients come back to us and refer us to their friends.
At Bowood, it’s about more than a house. It’s about creating a space that feels like it was meant for you—and enjoying every step of the journey along the way.
