RTM Homes in Saskatchewan

What You Need to Know Before Starting Your Build

Building a home on an acreage, farm or rural property in Saskatchewan is an opportunity to create a space that truly fits the way you want to live. For landowners considering an RTM home, it also means thinking about some of the unique factors that come with building and delivering a home in Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan’s climate, delivery routes, property access, site preparation and local requirements can all play a role in how your home comes together. Understanding these considerations early can help you feel more prepared and confident as you move from initial plans to move-in day.

How Does Saskatchewan’s Climate Affect an RTM Home?

Saskatchewan’s cold winters, temperature swings and snowfall are important considerations when designing a home that will feel comfortable and perform well year-round. Jade Homes considers factors such as insulation, windows, heating systems and snow loads when designing homes for their final location, while building to energy requirements for cold climates.

What Should You Know About RTM Home Delivery in Saskatchewan?

Getting an RTM home to its final location takes careful planning. In Saskatchewan, building moves require permits and route planning, and factors such as rural roads, highway restrictions, bridges and turns can all influence how your home reaches your property.

Can Power Lines or Property Access Affect RTM Delivery?

Yes. Driveway access, tight turns, trees, overhead utilities and other obstacles can all affect whether an RTM home can safely reach your property. Power lines are an especially important consideration in Saskatchewan. Depending on the height of the home during transport, coordination with utility providers such as SaskPower and SaskTel may be required.

What Site Preparation Is Needed Before an RTM Home Arrives?

Before your RTM home is delivered, your property needs to be ready to receive it. This typically includes preparing the appropriate foundation and coordinating necessary site services. Jade Homes can work with homeowners and third-party foundation, plumbing and mechanical suppliers to help coordinate the process, so the home and property are ready to come together when delivery day arrives.

What Permits Are Required for an RTM Home in Saskatchewan?

Building permits and requirements can vary depending on the Saskatchewan municipality or rural municipality where your property is located. That means it’s important to understand the permits, approvals and local building requirements that apply to your specific site.
