More than just homes & cottages!
Over the years, we have designed and supplied several multifamily homes. Some of them were our stock models, some of them were custom designs and some of them were based off of other Winton plans.
We’ve been conditioned to believe that bigger is better. But is it? Lately we’ve heard so much about these small houses or tiny homes. Some of these homes can be as small as 80 square feet and still contain everything a person would need to live happily. Although this may seem like a great solution for the expenses involved in building your own home, there are several barriers that you would need to overcome. Your local municipality may have a minimum habitable structure requirement. You may have a family, and three or four people may find it difficult to share a 300 square foot space.
Winton Homes has had the pleasure of working with Fort Nelson First Nation again to build seen new homes!
Over the past 30 years, Winton Homes has been working with Fort Nelson First Nation to create a strong, healthy community. In this time, Winton has contributed many of the residential homes; homes built to last. Winton was happy to provide the highest quality materials and exceptional customer service that we provide with every home and cottage we make.
Determining the cost of building a new home is not always an easy task. There are many factors that impact construction costs.
Here are a few to consider:
One of our most asked questions has many answers.
Build time depends on the experience and size of the crew you have putting it up. Generally it goes up much quicker than a standard stick framed home. To see a prefabricated home and an identical stick framed home built side by side click HERE .

Whether you are looking to enhance the curb appeal or enrich the interior of your home, timber accents may be just what you are looking for.
You can use timber to make bold statements across a room or entry way. Or you can use timber to add a natural decoration to complement a structural truss. Timber accents bring a warmth to a home that is hard to ignore.
Give us a call and discuss how we can use beautiful timber accents to fulfill your personal design goals.
