Morrison Homes

Morrison Homes has been an integral part of the Calgary and surrounding area for more than 60 years. Founded in 1961 by Frank Morrison, a cabinetmaker and finishing carpenter, Morrison Homes quickly earned a reputation both with customers and within the industry for quality construction and exceptional value. Since 1983, Al Morrison continues to build upon the family tradition, fundamental values and business practices. As Morrison Homes has expanded and grown, it has brought in some high caliber people who've all contributed to its success. "Where Morrison Homes is today is not the creation on one individual – it's very much a team effort," Al says. It's the cohesiveness between every member of the organization, from the president to trades people that has earned the company a reputation for building exceptional homes. "Our basic home standard is a high standard. It is not a stripped-down version to get the lowest price. I think what we sell is high value for your money verses the lowest price on the block," says Al. As important as what you're getting in the house is how it is put in the house he adds. "We've been using many of the same trades for a long time because of their commitment to quality and service. I have no question that we are consistently turning out a high quality product." And it's this commitment to quality and service that has earned Morrison Homes many awards and designations over the years, most notably Builder of the Year for the 16th time, the prestigious Customer Choice award four years in row, multiple architectural design awards, certified Master Builder and one of Canada's top 50 Best Managed Companies.
