About Us

The House Company was established in Edmonton 24 years ago by four partners in the spirit of providing excellent design and the best quality of construction and service possible. Today, two of those original owners, David Poetker, manager of operations, and Jamie Thompson, principal designer, remain, and Graham Underwood, project manager, has become a third owner. We have specialized in residential projects since our beginning and hold a strong belief that rebuilding in Edmonton's older central communities is preferable for the healthy and sustainable future of our city. Our clients realize that the highest value comes from careful planning, and the use of high quality materials and fully skilled trades. Our focus continues to be the expansion of our technical knowledge of building and the delivery of remarkable houses in visual, practical, functional, and sustainable terms. We limit our production to about six projects a year, which ensures that each one gets the full attention its owner deserves. We train and maintain our own crews of carpenters, who are capable of both framing and finishing our projects to the standards we require.
