Built From the Frame Up.
Before Danson became a custom home builder, the standard was already being shaped behind the walls. Born from decades of framing experience through C-Bros Contracting, Danson Custom Homes was built to bring that same discipline, craftsmanship, and care to the full custom home experience.
Where the Standard Started
C-Bros Contracting 2005 Ltd. built its reputation in the framing industry through discipline, hard work, and structural precision.
Dan Chikie spent decades learning what truly makes a home last. Not just what people see on possession day, but the hidden quality behind the walls.
Cody grew up around that environment. He saw early that quality is not something added at the end. It is protected from the beginning.
Danson Custom Homes emerged as the next evolution of that legacy: a custom home company built on craftsmanship, integrity, and a more thoughtful client experience.
Today, that same family standard carries forward in every Danson build.
“Leading a home build is a lot like leading a team. Everyone has a role, and the best results happen when everyone is aligned.”
— Cody ChikieLeadership Built on Team Dynamics
After a successful WHL hockey career, Cody brought a team-first mindset into home building. The same principles that define strong teams—clarity, preparation, accountability, and execution—also define a great custom build.
Clarity
Every person involved should know what happens next, what decisions matter, and what success looks like.
Accountability
A great build requires ownership. Timelines, communication, and details are protected when leadership stays close to the process.
Execution
Great homes are not built through ideas alone. They are built by teams moving in sync, with discipline from the first call to final walkthrough.
A Father-Son Standard
Dan brings decades of experience, structural understanding, and an uncompromising view of quality.
Cody brings fresh leadership, client connection, and a modern process-driven approach.
Together, they combine experience, insight, and hands-on involvement in a way that few builders can.
What began in framing became a family-led building company built to carry the standard forward.
The People Behind the Build
A Danson home is shaped by people who care deeply about the details, the process, and the experience clients have along the way.
Dan Chikie
As the owner and operator of C-Bros Contracting 2005 Ltd., with over 45 years of experience in the home building industry, Dan has a deep understanding of what it takes to build a home that lasts. Through his extensive experience, he's learned that the true value of a home lies not only in its curb appeal but in the craftsmanship hidden behind the walls.
Cody Chikie
After finishing a successful WHL hockey career, Cody discovered his true passion in the home building industry. With a sharp eye for detail and a natural ability to understand his clients' needs and style, Cody has built a reputation for creating homes that are both beautiful and functional.
Jessica Chikie
Jessica is the heart that keeps both the Danson team and the Chikie family running smoothly. She helps keep everything aligned behind the scenes, offering steady support, thoughtful guidance, and care throughout the client journey.
Heather Brook
Heather guides clients through the selections process, from paint colours to countertops and finish details, helping everything align with both vision and budget. Her role is to make every choice feel cohesive, intentional, and beautifully resolved.
Jax
Meet Jax, the certified good boy and unofficial mascot of the job site. Jax is Cody and Jess's loyal dog, always making his rounds and lifting the mood wherever he goes. He may not be on payroll, but he is paid generously in treats and belly rubs.
Built Inside and Out
The Danson Group of Companies has expanded to support more of the client experience. With the addition of Danson Dirtworks, clients can now access the same commitment to quality beyond the home itself—from landscaping and grading to snow removal, exterior improvements, driveways, pathways, and more.
It allows the same standard to carry beyond the structure, helping ensure the finished property feels complete, considered, and built with care inside and out.
What Still Defines Every Build
Craft
We care about the quality people see—and the quality they never will.
Clarity
A custom build should feel guided, documented, and transparent from the beginning.
Care
Every project is personal. The client experience matters just as much as the final result.
A Family Standard. A Home Built Right.
Danson takes on a select number of projects each year so every client receives the full experience—clarity, communication, craftsmanship, and a process that protects the outcome from the beginning.
