welcome to skogg design

Hello

I am David Skogg – I live, work and play in the inner city area of Calgary, Alberta with my wife Kristine and our little fur baby, Chardonnay… Chardie.   I love where I live – as it gives us the opportunity to enjoy our passions of gardening, travelling and cooking together…  and of course for me – designing, building and renovating homes for you.

At a very young age growing up in Edmonton, I was encouraged to explore my passion for design by starting with just the right tools – creating, designing and building with Lego Blocks!  My parents passed along to me their creative and artistic style – which fuels my own learning, creativity and design today.

I attended the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology NAIT; and graduated first in my class in Architectural Technology.  My career and expertise have spanned the following areas –

• 25 years specialising in building materials and engineered lumber working at Trus Joist and Weyerhaeuser
• Since 2012 in Calgary, I have had the opportunity to design, budget, project manage a variety of projects from two million dollar new build semi-detached homes to man-woman cave basement renovations

I am a self – professed passionate home design technology nerd – and that means I use –

• State of the art 3D design software to produce virtual as-built models and new virtual designs for my clients…. And what that really means – You can easily visualize your new home or new renovated space
• I draw on my expertise as a wood-frame structure specialist to analyse home structures so that I can create and design innovative open plan spaces
• Learning everyday – I can share with you innovative energy efficient solutions and net-zero home designs

I can provide the following services for a renovation, addition or new builds –

• Structural analysis to remove bearing walls
• Design and budget
• Construction documents for budgeting, building permit application and construction
• Project management
• Virtual 3d models

Thanks for taking the time to find out about my home design project services.

Looking forward to connecting with you over a cup of coffee and to hear about your home or renovation plans.

Cheers,

David
