Ready-to-Assemble ‘Home in a Box’ Kits Headline Alberta Fall Home Shows

Exhibitors highlight flexible build choices, time-limited pricing, warranty caveats for buyers.

Overview

  • Linwood Homes, via Timber Ridge in Alberta, sells shipped ready-to-assemble house packages presented as a modern update to catalogue-ordered homes.
  • Customers can build the kits themselves, hire their own contractor, or choose turn‑key or staged builds, with full construction budgets and lot‑servicing support available.
  • A do‑it‑yourself build voids the Alberta New Home Warranty, a caveat company representatives emphasize to prospective buyers.
  • Linwood offers about 350 stock designs with custom options, and materials packages covering the exterior shell hold quoted prices for six to eight months.
  • The Calgary Fall Home Show runs Sept. 26–28 at the BMO Centre with design features and a live mural to be donated to Made by Momma, while Edmonton’s Oct. 17–19 event at the Expo Centre lists guests Bryan Baeumler and Adam Weir.
