25 Years of Creating Personal Sanctuaries
Written by Julia Marshall
Warmth, elegance and stylish decor greet you when you walk in the office doors at Rawlyk Developments Inc. The gleaming wood, soothing lighting and sophisticated finishings speak volumes. This isn’t just a company that builds beautiful spaces –
Rawlyk Developments creates sanctuaries. And that’s precisely how the company’s founder and president Doug Rawlyk describes it.
“We’re honoured each time we get to build a client’s personal sanctuary,” he says. “It’s a very emotional experience for everyone. At the end of the day, it becomes more of a friendship than a business relationship.”
These friendships have taken Rawlyk Developments to where it is today. “Clients hear about us primarily through referrals,” says co-founder Karen Rawlyk. “Our reputation is built on word-of-mouth.”

Building dreamsIt all started more than 25 years ago. Doug and Karen
Rawlyk got in to the business of buying, renovating and selling houses in Calgary. One such property in Elbow Park caught the eye of a family who considered purchasing the home after a walk-through with their Realtor. “They expressed how much they liked the home,” says Doug Rawlyk. “They asked us to build them a home with a very similar plan.”
Through this experience, the Rawlyks saw the opportu-nity to build truly custom homes for Calgarians. “The term ‘custom’ can be defined in many different ways,” says Karen Rawlyk. “To some, it means having a choice of materials, colours or finishings, but the design of the home is fairly standard. Instead, we wanted to allow clients to design every aspect of their home right from the foundation to the roof-top, and that’s exactly what we’re able to offer today.”
“The Rawlyk Way”What began as a home renovating business has grown to
a full-service project management company. Today, Rawlyk Developments helps clients attain the home of their dreams by managing the whole process, from the first handshake to the last coat of paint.
The company refers to the experience as the Rawlyk Way. Each project begins with the client’s vision, whether it’s a fledgling idea or already on paper in the form of archi-tectural drawings. Rawlyk Developments works together with a team of professionals, including some of the best architects and interior designers in town to hand-selected trades and suppliers, to complete the home. And the experi-ence doesn’t end when the home is finished. The company offers a unique Lifetime Maintenance Program to ensure the home retains its full investment value. “This is how we end up building friendships with our clients through the

building process,” explains Doug Rawlyk. “It takes approxi-mately 18 months to build a custom home in which we’re very involved with our clients, and due to our maintenance program, we keep a strong and committed relationship well past the completion of the project.”
By putting the client’s vision first, Rawlyk Developments has acquired a knack for tailoring the building experience itself to each customer. “No two homes we build are alike,” says Doug Rawlyk. “And similarly, no two clients are exactly the same. So we take the time to understand our clients’ expectations and we ensure complete transparency in the building process.” For many people, building or renovating a home can be a stressful undertaking, and Rawlyk Devel-opments does everything they can to turn it into a great experience.
Another unique differentiator is the company’s level of care during the building process. They do their due diligence on a site before coming in to build, developing a plan to pro-tect the trees, respect the neighbours and adhere to bylaws accordingly. Rawlyk Developments takes pride in their clean worksites and policy of completing clean-up on each piece of work before another begins. “We work extremely hard
behind the scenes to ensure that the client is well looked after. We strongly believe that over the past 25 years, we have developed the finest custom homebuilding process in Calgary.”
It’s this attention to detail that reassures the client that their home is well taken care of. Rawlyk Developments sees each project as a unique puzzle that needs to be put together beautifully, within a specific deadline and budget.
Celebrating 25 yearsIn 1989, Rawlyk Developments’ founding year, Calgary
was a very different city than it is today. Many current sub-urban neighbourhoods didn’t exist, and home design and building materials were fairly standard. Over the next two decades, Calgary’s infrastructure and population grew and the city began to change. With that, Calgarians’ preferences and lifestyles evolved too.
Over the years, Rawlyk Developments has worked on every type of project imaginable – new homes, additions, renovations and restorations. They’ve helped clients find land in desirable communities, advised homeowners on the most efficient approach to renovations and built a veritable

THE Finest IN HANDCRAFTED DESIGN
ProCura is one of Western Canada’s most innovative, successful and respected property development and management companies. Since 1979, ProCura has
designed trend-setting landmarks and communities in Calgary, as well as in Edmonton and Vancouver. As ProCura expands its diverse portfolio of residential, office, retail and mixed-use buildings, the company will continue to promote and foster the creation of vibrant, livable spaces. ProCura has earned an exceptional reputation among in-dustry and municipal stakeholders for the performance and quality of its services – from development, investment and asset management to property management, leasing and marketing. As ProCura owners George and Sherry Schluessel point out with passion and energy – affecting people’s lives is what it’s ultimately all about.“Key business aspects like the timely acquisition of land, desirable locations, return on investment (ROI), and the innovative design and development of great properties are essential, of course,” says Sherry, senior managing

network of gifted architects, interior designers and trades. Today, the company draws on their years of experience to build dwellings that match Calgary’s unique personalities.
For example, Rawlyk Developments helps clients imple-ment new trends and personal tastes into the design of their homes. The environmentally conscious can opt for the latest in energy-saving technologies. Music enthusiasts can create soundproof recording studios. And yoga practitioners can have blissful retreats in the comfort and convenience of their own homes. Other options include water purification sys-tems, built-in air purifiers, customized stonework, automated lighting and personalized entertainment rooms. Rawlyk Developments gathers the right team for each project.
“No matter what the project is, there’s bound to be a unique element that requires an out-of-the-box approach”
says Doug Rawlyk. “We work with our trade partners to come up with practical solutions that exceed the client’s expectations.” As every project is distinctive, the company gains new expertise and knowledge of the latest trends and possibilities in homebuilding with every undertaking.
As one can imagine, the challenges often extend beyond the building project. Calgary weather has thrown a myriad of challenges at the Rawlyk team over the years, and each situation requires expertise and a well-thought out solu-tion to resolve. In 2013, Rawlyk Developments helped many Calgarians restore their flood-damaged homes and bring cli-ents’ signature styles back to their living spaces.
As Rawlyk Developments celebrates their 25th anni-versary, their thoughts are of heartfelt gratitude. “We are extremely fortunate and grateful to have worked with the Calgary community these past 25 years,” says Doug Rawlyk. “This is not only a celebration of our company; it’s a cel-ebration of our client relationships and the talented team of professionals who partner with us.”
Rawlyk Developments thanks their valued clients, part-ners and employees for helping them achieve this significant milestone. As Calgary continues to evolve, Rawlyk Devel-opments will surely see many continued years of creating personal sanctuaries for Calgarians. •
“We are extremely fortunate and grateful to have worked with the Calgary community
these past 25 years. This is not only a celebration of our company; it’s a celebration of our client relationships and the talented team of professionals who partner with us.”
