“It is the first time I had been a project manager and it was a big learning curve, but looking back it was pretty cool to accomplish,” says Freemantle, now 26, of her 1,100-square-foot home built on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River, which is a 20-minute drive from Saskatoon. “I was trying to do everything on the weekends and the evenings, which ended in a lot of late nights. There was a lot of stress.”
“During construction she called me three or four times, some weeks to ask questions. But looking back, she really grabbed the reins and ran with this on her own. I’m pretty proud of her,” says Hill.The uncertainty of material supply and soaring prices through the pandemic left her feeling nervous about meeting budget but she stayed the course and kept costs within her $10,000 contingency.It is built on an engineered screw pile foundation, eliminating the need for a costly concrete foundation.
