About Dan Mercer

Built from the ground up.

I started framing houses in 2003. Went independent in 2006 with a focus on what nobody else wanted to touch — basement development permits in Calgary. Turned out that was exactly what Calgary homeowners needed most and understood least.

Today Ridgeline Residential specialises exclusively in below-grade residential construction across Calgary. We handle every permit, every inspection, every trade coordination — so you don't have to learn how City Hall works on your dime.

Free Tool

Know your permits before you start.

Most Calgary basement projects require 3–7 permits from the City. Getting one wrong costs weeks. Getting one missing costs thousands.

Answer 6 questions about your project and get an instant permit breakdown — what's required, what's optional, how complex your project is, and a realistic timeline. Free. No email required to start.

01
Permit Complexity Score
Instantly know whether your project is low, moderate, or high complexity — and exactly how many permits the City of Calgary will require.
02
Realistic Timeline Estimate
City permit timelines vary by complexity and season. We give you a calibrated range based on current City processing speeds — not wishful thinking.
03
$10K Incentive Check
Legal suites meeting City requirements qualify for Calgary's Secondary Suite Incentive. We flag this automatically if your project is eligible.
