Company Background
About Mode Built Basements
Mode Built works from Unit 207 at 18304 105 Avenue NW in west Edmonton and serves the city and surrounding communities. Founders Ryan and Shaun started the company in 2012 as Mode Contracting after seeing corners cut at a builder they worked for. It opened a St. Albert office in 2019, moved to Edmonton in 2020, rebranded as Mode Built in 2022 and says it has now finished more than 550 renovations.
Basements are the specialty, and the legal suite is the signature job. Case studies describe a three-bedroom legal basement suite built in six weeks, with the Edmonton Secondary Suite Grant paperwork handled along the way, and a Chappelle basement suite. The company also builds kitchens, bathrooms and full-home remodels, plus kitchenettes for basement suites. An in-house design studio lets clients compare flooring, cabinetry, tile and fixtures with a designer instead of driving between suppliers.
The FAQ is more specific about credentials than most. Mode Built says it carries a 5 million dollar liability policy, is covered by the Workers' Compensation Board of Alberta, uses licensed tradespeople with WCB coverage and is a prepaid contractor. It describes a team with more than 75 years of combined construction experience that includes a journeyman electrician and warranty technicians. Projects come with a two-year warranty on materials and labour that starts at the end of the job, and the company says builds follow the Alberta Building Code after permits are obtained. It offers financing through Financeit, and it is RenoMark certified.
Reviewers mention Ryan's advice, quiet scheduling around a toddler's nap time and fast, permit-ready legal suites. One client reported that the basement has held up for three years with no problems.
Mode Built has 4.9 from 83 Google reviews, read October 30, 2026. It suits homeowners finishing a basement, adding a legal suite or renovating a kitchen or bathroom. It suits less well anyone who wants to walk in without an appointment, because the office is a suite. The site lists two phone numbers, so confirm which to call. Before booking, ask for the written quote, the permit plan, the warranty terms and proof of insurance and WCB coverage.
