Prefab & Modular Backyard Suites and Small Homes in Alberta
Foundation-Based, Built Off-Site, Installed Efficiently
Thinking About a Backyard Suite or Small Home? You’re Not Alone.
If you’ve started researching a backyard suite, secondary dwelling, or tiny home in Alberta, you’ve probably realized one thing quickly — it’s not simple.
Zoning rules vary.
Utility upgrades feel confusing.
Builders all say different things.
And the idea of months of construction in your yard? Exhausting.
Most homeowners aren’t looking for more complexity.
They’re looking for clear answers, a realistic plan, and a builder who knows what they’re doing.
A Smarter Way To Build In Alberta
There is a calmer, more predictable way to add space.
By building prefab and modular homes off-site, we remove much of the chaos that comes with traditional construction. Materials stay protected from weather, timelines are easier to manage, and quality is consistently higher.
Instead of months of disruption, your home arrives nearly complete and is typically installed in one day with a crane.
It’s not about building faster. It’s about building intentionally.

Client Testimonials
Tina- Florence Plan
Rocky View County AB.
My main priority for finding a homes was something with a solid build and great insulation that would allow me to live very near my mother while she ages in place on the family farm.
The experience that Jen and her team bring to the table, the beautifully designed houses, and that they are local to Alberta and understand the extra demands our climate brings is why we chose Teacup.
Max- Tagish Plan
Ft. McMurray AB.
I had 4 housing deals fall through prior. I was searching for options that would work for me after that and then I stumbled upon Teacup.
Teacup stuck with me the whole way through my journey and even got different building credentials to get the job done. The client experience has been pretty bang on. I also like the communication that we have. It's solid.
Therese & Glenn- Custom Plan
Edmonton AB.
We chose Teacup because I was leery of B.C builders and had no way of knowing if they were as good as Teacup or not.
B.C. is much warmer and after watching the videos and hearing satisfaction of Lorraine & Adelina (Teacup Owners) they said they were were warm in the winter!
