Company Background
About Macanta Design Build
Macanta Design Build is a Winnipeg design-build company at 729 St. Mary's Road with a 4.9 rating from 55 Google reviews, read October 30, 2026. Its website lists home additions, major renovations, custom new homes, aging-in-place design, heritage homes and waterfront projects, and it describes working in older neighbourhoods from Armstrong Point to other historic districts.
The process page is unusually specific. Macanta lays out five stages: feasibility, design development, pre-construction, construction, and warranty and service. The idea is that cost, layout and buildability are settled before a hammer swings, which matters on additions and on the older homes where surprises hide behind walls. Co-founder and operations manager Cory Kloos built his first home at 24, has more than two decades in construction, serves as a designated carpentry trainer for Manitoba's Red Seal apprenticeship program, and is a director on the Manitoba Home Builders' Association board. Doug Rempel is a project manager with more than 15 years in the building industry, and designer Marlie is working toward National Kitchen and Bath Association certifications.
Reviews fit that profile. Cheri described building a cathedral-style addition of more than 450 square feet on the front of a 1946 home, noting that issues came up as they always do and that the team handled them. Colin used Macanta twice, calling the first project great and the second, a deck designed by Genevieve and built by Matt's crew, spectacular. The website also displays RenoMark, MHBA, Master Renovator and other industry badges.
Macanta is a design-build firm, so it suits homeowners with a bigger project, such as an addition, a major renovation or a heritage house, who want design and construction handled by one team. It suits less well a small, quick-turn job. Expect a design phase before construction. Before booking, ask what the design fee is and how it is credited, who pulls City of Winnipeg permits, what the warranty covers, and ask for WCB Manitoba clearance and liability insurance proof. Manitoba has no provincial renovation licence.
