Discovery
We confirm the lot, the housing type you want, your timeline, and the obvious constraints.
Infill is some of the most rewarding building in Calgary, and some of the most scrutinized. Tricor designs duplexes, semi-detached homes, and inner-city redevelopment that fit a tight lot, sit well on the street, and stand up to close City review. We have worked in Calgary's established communities since 1985.
Infill design in Calgary
With infill, the lot does a lot of the talking. Width, setbacks, parking, height, and how your building meets the street all shape what you can do. We design with those limits in mind from the start, so your project earns approval instead of stalling at review.

Calgary Infill Services
We handle the technical and approval side of your inner-city infill, from land use bylaw review through to development and building permit drawings, so the project stays realistic and on track.
Calgary permit constraints
Infill gets a closer look from the City because it affects neighbours and the streetscape. Sorting out setbacks, height, privacy, massing, and lane access early avoids redesigns and keeps your permit moving.
Process and project inputs
We confirm the lot, the housing type you want, your timeline, and the obvious constraints.
We check land use, setbacks, coverage, parking, and access against what the City allows.
We shape an infill design that matches the lot's real capacity and the approval path.
We prepare or coordinate the drawings for DP, BP, or the review stage you are at.
Talk to us before the design is set, before you submit, or before you bank on a unit count the lot may not support.

FAQ
Here are common questions about infill design, including when to involve Tricor, what documents may be useful, and how infill design connects to permits and municipal review.
Infill design is design and drafting support for new residential development on an existing urban lot, often where an older home or underused site is being redeveloped.
Owners, builders, developers, investors, or tenants may need this service when the project depends on site constraints, drawing coordination, permit requirements, or municipal review expectations.
Contact Tricor before the project direction is fixed, before a permit submission is made, or before major cost decisions rely on incomplete site or approval information.
Useful starting documents include the property address, survey or site plan if available, existing drawings, photos, intended scope, and any municipal comments already received.
This service helps clarify what drawings, review steps, and approval path may be required before construction or development can move forward.
Tricor is based in Calgary and can review projects in surrounding Alberta municipalities where applicable. Requirements vary by municipality.
This page focuses on infill design. Custom home design is related, but it addresses a different stage or scope in the design, drafting, permit, or approval process.
