How long has your company been in business?

Maric Homes was founded in 1973, making this our 50th year in business.

What services do you offer?

We are a fully integrated, completely custom design & build firm.  We have an in-house interior and architectural design team that creates everything from concept to blueprint, renovations ranging from ensuite makeovers to whole home transformations, and bespoke new home projects in any scale and setting.

Describe your team in 3 words.

Dedicated, detailed, innovative.

What is your company’s greatest achievement?

Although we are extremely proud to have won three CHBA National Building Excellence Awards, our greatest achievement is the team we have built.  Our entire team is committed to excellence, delivering extraordinary homes for every single one of our clients.

What are your business goals for 2023?

Our goal is to keep building what we feel are some of the best homes in Canada.  We are constantly incorporating new technologies into our design, spec, and construction process – energy-efficient assemblies that perform better in our unique climate, LiDAR scans for more accurate planning, innovative materials that can create longer-lasting, more beautiful finishes inside & out.  We try to continue to push the envelope, but always with a responsible approach to the bottom line for both our business and, most importantly, our clients.

How long have you been a MHBA member?

2023 marks Maric Homes’ 35th year as a member of the MHBA.

Why did you decide to join the MHBA?

The MHBA plays a significant role in the advancement of Manitoba’s homebuilding industry and creates a unified dialogue from all builders.  This is important when dealing with bureaucracies of all shapes and sizes, as the MHBA does on our behalf.

What is the best part about being a MHBA member?

MHBA works actively with the government at the municipal, provincial, and federal levels, cultivating fruitful relationships with policymakers to promote Manitoba homebuilder’s positions on issues ranging from land use, permitting processes, energy efficiency, health & safety, and more.

What is your favourite MHBA event?

The Parade of Homes, for sure.  Creating the Parade allowed prospective home buyers a look at what builders have to offer and granted the perfect arena to connect with the community at a broad level. For Maric Homes, it was the perfect stage to share our distinct building and design philosophy.

How has being an MHBA benefited your business?

The MHBA has helped Maric Homes to grow and become a recognized brand in Manitoba through their public initiatives (the Parade of Homes), builder initiatives (Master Builder / Renovator Program) and government & industry relations.

What is your favourite project that your company has done?

They are all favourites, but our most recent large project at 515 Bower Boulevard was spectacular.  It was just awarded the CHBA National Building Award for the best whole home renovation in Canada in the highest price category.  We were up against some incredible projects from across our country, and seeing the time and effort we put into that project over the last couple of years get acknowledged at a national level was incredibly rewarding.

What advice would you give to a business just starting out in your industry?

Create strong partnerships, care about the details, be fair, work your tail off, and keep the person paying for the project – the client – as your sole focus.
