oaring ceilings, crown moulding and granite countertops are mainstays of estate homes and just some of the items new homeowners, and those looking to upgrade, look for when shopping the market. Akash Homes, an emerging Edmonton-based home builder celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, doesn’t want first-time buyers to have to wait for some of those features, and that is what sets them apart in a very competitive industry.
Congratulations Akash Homes on 15 years in business.

“My father founded the company in 2002,” explains Dhruv Gupta, vice president. “He’s an engineer by trade and worked in Fort McMurray. While in that city he started buying commercial and rental properties. The progression into home building was a natural fit from there. The first home he built was for our family.” Gupta describes Akash as “a small to midsize builder. We stick to the starter homes and move-up projects. Our philosophy is that we like to give added value to our customers, and our main focus is that we believe all customers should have the qualities of an estate home, whether they are in an estate home or not.” For Akash, this means 9’ ceilings, high-end flooring and countertops, coffered ceilings and high-end mouldings can be standard elements in their homes, not upgrades. “It’s the little things you see in bigger homes brought to the mid-market,” Gupta smiles. “Our standard spec is high, and that is what has made us successful home builders. Our homes present a notable difference. Customers always know when they are coming into our product.”
