Meet the Family
Hi! We’re the family behind TRACE Wheatland Construction & Design Inc., and we’re proud to call Strathmore, Alberta home. As long-time residents, we’ve spent the past 19 years raising our family here - and now, we’re excited to introduce our family-run business to the community we know and love.
Our Story
With more than 30 years of experience in the construction industry, we started TRACE to bring our family’s combined expertise back to the community we call home. After many years working in Calgary’s commercial sector (and taking on residential projects along the way) we shifted our focus to Strathmore, where we saw the value in working directly with homeowners in a place that means so much to us.
Together, we offer a well-rounded approach that blends technical knowledge, creative design, and practical on-site experience. Our goal is simple: to help homeowners navigate the building or renovation process with confidence, clarity, and care.
Strathmore has shaped so much of our family’s story, and we’re proud to give back by creating lasting, well-crafted spaces designed specifically for the people who call them home.
Our Core Message
At TRACE Wheatland Construction & Design Inc., we help people shape homes that feel functional and lasting, inside and out. As a family-run business with over 30 years of experience in construction, we offer residential design, home renovation/project management, general contracting, and consulting. With a focus on clear communication, thoughtful decisions, quality work, and integrity.
The name "Trace" reflects what matters to us most: the legacy built through strong relationships, the care behind every detail, and the personal marks we leave behind in the spaces we help create. Whether it's a minor or full-scale transformation, we approach every project with the same level of care and commitment.
