Our Approach
Our Approach
At Generation Homes its our goal to enjoy every day and build houses that let you enjoy your days too. We use maintenance free materials so that you can enjoy your life. We build energy efficient homes so that you can use more of your hard earned money for new bikes and hiking shoes.
We design homes that we would want to live in... efficient plans, not too many stairs, and classic high quality finishes. Even if you are an avid outdoor enthusiast you still spend a lot of time in your house... let's make that space a home.
And home isn't just a place to hang your hat... it has to fit your lifestyle. And maybe even be part of your plan for a wealthier future. Let us show you options for secondary suites to boost your income and get ahead in this crazy thing called life.
Meet the Team
Generation Homes is a small family company with big dreams. We started working together years ago and our family has grown to include our long term employees who have become our business partners. Our family of companies include Generation Homes, Avalon Master Builder and Avalon Central Alberta.
Christine Scott
President
As the (past) President of Avalon Master Builder in Calgary and Red Deer Christine worked with many first time home buyers to discover the benefits of home ownership.
Although Christine likes to think she's capable of doing anything, having twin boys and running a business turned out to be too much. So Christine retired and took short break from the home building business. She moved to the mountains to raise her boys as free range children and enjoy life. After years of listening to stories about the lack of quality affordable housing in the valley Christine could no longer resist the call of the housing market.
Christine loves her kids, dogs and building homes... in that order. Now that the kids are fifteen and she's already reached crazy dog lady status she's enjoying building some of the best affordable housing this town's every seen! (no bias at all)
Shauna Sillem
Sales & Coordination
You are going to love letting Shauna guide you through the process of buying a new home! Everytime we are together at least one of us ends up snort laughing. Don't worry though Shauna, as a mother of 3 boys, is used to multi-tasking and managing the hard stuff too. Shauna takes the time to build good relationships built on honesty and solid information. If there is anything she doesn't know she will do the research and get back to you with all the right information. Making your experience fun, exciting and trouble-free is her goal and she will go above and beyond to help you have the best experience. Trust me when I say you are going to love her almost as much as you'll love your new home.
Justin Elliott
Warranty & Construction
Justin came into our family as a welder but has since broadened his skill set into, well, everything. Justin loves to learn and is always willing to take a course or do research to figure out the best way to get something done. His first love is always metal but he's learning to love the flexibility of wood construction! Justin is a creative genius and prides himself on high quality solutions.
Trevor Gamelin
Operations Manager
Trevor has worked with our team for so long he's turned into family. After years of trying to lure him away from his home town of Red Deer, Alberta we've come to a compromise. He spends half his time in the valley and half his time in Red Deer. Trevor, is the backbone of our construction team providing support, estimation, planning and on site co-ordination as necessary.
No matter where he is located, Trevor is an important part of our team.
Nick Freiheit
Site Management & Warranty Manager
Nick came to construction a little later in life. He started as a Red Seal Chef. It might not sound like a perfect training ground for construction but there is a fair amount of overlap. Both require good planning, scheduling workers and critical thinking skills.
In addition to the usual jobs done by a Construction Manager, Nick also feeds our team lunch on Fridays. It's become a great opportunity for all of us to get together as a team and discuss all that stuff we need to discuss to keep the site running smoothly.
Jackson Olson
Warranty, Turnovers, Safety
Jackson spent a few years learning about groundwork, excavation and servicing. Jackson is our customer service professional, taking care of service and warranty work, preparing the houses for our customers and as a side gig he also works to ensure our construction site is safe at all times.
Jackson hosts weekly trade safety meetings delivering information on a new topic each week to ensure that we all go home safely at the end of the day.
