We talk to a couple who just bought their first home about their experience, and to Excel Homes and Trico Homes, two local builders who specialize in the first-time buyer market, for some expert advice.

Trico Homes has made another major contribution to community recreation and wellness in Calgary.

The builder has extended its naming sponsorship with the Trico Centre to 20 years, committing $2 million to the 38-year-old southeast Calgary facility in Willow Park.

Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi lauds the veteran builder’s continued support.

“We can pay tribute to everyone at Trico Homes, especially Wayne, Eleanor (Wayne’s wife), and the Chiu family for the remarkable commitment they have shown to Calgary, to building an inclusive community for everyone,” says Nenshi. “Back in 2008, it was a big deal when this not-particularly-ginormous firm made such a huge investment in wellness and in Calgary with the naming,

After a busy day at work, preparing a meal, cleaning up afterwards and helping their children with questions about their homework, it’s a well-earned time to relax.
