Foothills County, Alberta

Custom Home Builder in Foothills County

Foothills County runs south of Calgary through some of the best country in the province. It is the furthest corner of the area we cover, and we would rather say that up front than surprise you with it later.

Building in Foothills County

The builder you pick should be honest about distance

01

Overpromised Coverage

Plenty of builders will claim your area and work out the logistics afterwards. You find out what that means during framing.

02

Foothills Weather

Wind and chinooks are hard on a house down here. A plan drawn for flat prairie does not account for any of it.

03

Acreage Servicing

Water, septic, power and access decide a lot about what a Foothills County build really costs, long before finishes come up.

Your Builder in Foothills County

Being straight about distance

Foothills County took its current name at the start of 2019, having been the Municipal District of Foothills before that. Its office is in High River, and the towns inside it are Okotoks, High River and Diamond Valley, the last of which was formed in 2023 when Black Diamond and Turner Valley amalgamated. Longview is its village, and hamlets include De Winton, Priddis, Millarville, Heritage Pointe, Blackie and Cayley.

Our home base is Beiseker, northeast of Calgary, so Foothills County is on the opposite side of the city from us. A build down here means a longer drive for our team, and that is a scheduling conversation worth having before you fall in love with a floor plan. It is not a deal breaker. It is just something you should know about your builder.

What does not change is how we work. Small team, flexible plans, honest answers about what each decision costs you in money and in time.

Questions

Building in Foothills County

Which towns are in Foothills County?

Okotoks, High River and Diamond Valley are the towns, and Longview is the village. Diamond Valley was formed in 2023 when Black Diamond and Turner Valley amalgamated, so you will still see the old names in a lot of places.

Was Foothills County always called that?

No. It was the Municipal District of Foothills until the start of 2019, when it became Foothills County. Its administrative office is in High River.

Is Foothills County too far for CreekWest?

It is the furthest corner of our area and it sits on the opposite side of Calgary from our Beiseker base, so a build here means a longer drive for us. We would rather raise that early than pretend distance does not exist.

So should I still call you?

Yes, if you like how we build. The worst outcome of a phone call is that we tell you honestly that someone closer is a better fit, and you have lost ten minutes. We would rather do that than take on a build we cannot service properly.

Do you account for foothills wind and weather in the design?

It has to be part of the conversation down here. Exposure, orientation and how the house sits on the land matter more in the foothills than they do on flat prairie.
