Homes built right, the first time
A home in Fort McMurray has to handle minus-forty mornings, summer rainstorms, and the everyday wear of a busy family. MJNI Projects Inc. builds residential projects that perform — quiet floors, tight envelopes, warm basements, and finishes that still look right ten years in.
We are a locally owned residential general contractor. Whether it's a detached garage, a second-storey addition, a legal basement suite, or a full custom home, the same principals you meet on day one are on site through completion. No subbed-out project management, no offshore call centres, no surprise invoices.
What we build
- Custom new-build homes — single-family homes designed around your site, lot orientation, and finish preferences.
- Additions and second-storey expansions — engineered tie-ins to your existing structure, sealed envelope continuity, and minimal disruption.
- Detached and attached garages — heated, insulated, and wired for shop use or EV charging.
- Legal basement suites — code-compliant secondary suites with separate entrances, egress windows, and independent HVAC where required.
- Decks, porches, and outdoor structures — engineered for snow load and built with rot-resistant materials.
Who we build for
Our residential clients are families building their forever home, homeowners adding space as their family grows, landlords adding legal suites for rental income, and tradespeople who want a heated shop they can actually work in through winter.
Our process
- Site visit and budget conversation. We meet on site, walk through what you want, and give a realistic budget range before drawings start.
- Drawings and selections. Work with our designers or bring your own. Lock down floor plans, finishes, and structural details.
- Fixed-price contract. Itemised quote, schedule, allowances, and written change order process.
- Permits and construction. We submit to the RMWB, manage trades, and run a clean site with weekly client updates.
- Walkthrough and warranty. Deficiency list, owner orientation, warranty documentation, 11-month follow-up.
Why homeowners choose MJNI Projects
- Local accountability. If something needs attention after handover, we're across town — not three hours south.
- Built for our climate. R-value, vapour management, and frost protection that meet our reality, not a national average.
- Transparent pricing. Allowances are itemised. Upgrades are quoted in writing before work proceeds.
- Clean sites. Daily cleanup. Trades that take their boots off. Respect for the home you're living in.

Frequently asked questions
Do you build custom homes from scratch?
Yes. We deliver custom homes from concept through to keys, including drawings, permitting, structural, envelope, mechanical, and finishes.
Can you add a legal basement suite to my existing home?
Yes. We design, permit, and build secondary suites that meet RMWB zoning and the Alberta Building Code, including egress, fire separation, and independent mechanical.
Do you build garages and shops?
We build detached and attached garages, RV-height shops, and outbuildings on engineered foundations rated for our soils and frost depth.
How are residential projects priced?
Most residential work is priced fixed-price once drawings and finishes are confirmed. Cost-plus is available for open-scope renovations.
How long does a custom home take?
Plan on 9 to 14 months from contract signing to handover for a standard custom home, longer for complex sites or specialty finishes.
