Detached Dwellings
MODULAR EXCELLENCE
Big Turtle Homes micro shelters are durable, space-efficient one to three bedroom units that feature a kitchen and living area, providing a fully equipped and comfortable home within a compact footprint. Built for quick setup and year-round durability, they’re an excellent choice for transitional housing and ideal as Additional Residential Units (ARUs) on backyards or underused properties.
At Big Turtle Homes, we design, engineer, and build custom homes to the highest CSA standards, ensuring exceptional strength, durability, and lasting value. Our innovative prefabricated modular construction system allows us to deliver homes faster and better than conventional site-built methods — often in the same time it takes to complete a foundation. This means you can move into your new home sooner and enjoy the benefits of superior quality and energy efficiency right away.
Big Turtle Homes specializes in crafting high‑quality homes that perfectly balance comfort, efficiency, and design. Each home is custom-built to reflect your lifestyle, budget, and timeline. Our process combines precision engineering, thoughtful design, and durable materials to create homes that exceed CSA standards for strength, safety, and energy performance. By building off‑site in a controlled environment, we reduce construction time and costs while ensuring consistent quality.
From cozy one‑bedroom layouts to spacious three‑bedroom family homes, every Big Turtle Home delivers lasting value, modern comfort, and faster move‑in times than traditional site‑built housing.
