Tim Logel, chairman and CEO of Calgary-based Logel Homes, has much to celebrate. For the sixth consecutive year, the company earned a Grand Award at the Building Industry and Land Development Calgary Region Awards, taking home the top prize for Multi-Family Builder of the Year-Large Volume. This achievement is remarkable for a firm that started in May 2017.
A Family-Driven Vision
“We are just so honoured to have won. It really means a lot to us,” says Tim, who brings over 40 years of homebuilding experience, including 25 years in the multi-family sector. The company, originally co-founded as Cardel Lifestyles 25 years ago, was rebranded as a family business under Logel Homes nine years ago. For Tim, the win is about more than recognition—it reflects creativity, innovation, customer service, and the privilege of working alongside his sons, Brayden (now president) and Kevin (construction manager).
“It just brings so much joy. Brayden and Kevin are just as passionate about homebuilding as I am. It’s very rewarding to work with them. It was always my dream to have a family business,” says Tim.
Customer Loyalty and Growth
The family-driven culture has translated into strong buyer loyalty. Over the past several years, 25 percent of Logel Homes’ annual sales come from referrals. The company has also won the Best Customer Experience Award for ten consecutive years.
“One of the reasons that buyers choose Logel Homes is that continued focus on excellence in all aspects,” says Brayden Logel. “We have a lot of scale, so we are able to deliver on all of these things at a very affordable price.”
The company now has 90 employees in-house and another 600 on contract in trades. “We’re more than double the size that we were five years ago,” says Tim. Last year, Logel Homes delivered over 500 possessions and sold 330 homes. “It was a real milestone for us. It was our biggest and best year.”
Recognition and Philosophy
The BILDCR Awards celebrate exceptional talent and innovation in residential homebuilding in Calgary and surrounding areas. For Tim, Brayden, and Kevin, the recognition carries deep meaning.
“It feels really good to see our team recognized for the execution of the vision that we had for being a multi-family builder,” says Tim. He emphasizes “quality in everything that we do, affordability, excellence in design and a continuous improvement philosophy—with each new building and each new development, our entire team, suppliers, trades and consultants are all focused on getting better. And it’s our customers’ feedback that allows us to do that.”
Consistently recognized for design excellence, Logel Homes approaches floor plans with a philosophy of continuous evolution.
