MEET THE TEAM

It takes dozens of dedicated individuals to build every Quality Home. Our team is as varied as it is valued, with each team member bringing a unique skillset to the table to create beautiful custom modular homes. But despite their diverse talents and trades, there’s one thing they all have in common: they’re all a part of the Quality Homes Family.

 

For over three decades, we have prided ourselves on having such a close-knit community, with each member of the QH Team working in tandem to fulfill one goal. Each one of us believes wholeheartedly in the mission to help every new homeowner create their dream home—many of our team members have even built a Quality Home of their own!—and each member of the Quality Homes Family brings pride, dedication, and care to their work.

From first contact with our salespeople to long past your home’s delivery, the Quality Team has specialized staff to make sure that every new home is built to the highest standards, exactly to your specifications, without any complications. But before we look closer at our specialized teams, let’s get a quick recap of the 12 main steps of the Quality Homes process:

 

1. Lot – Choosing and purchasing a property for your Quality Home

Purchasing Team

 

Quality Homes’ Purchasing Team plays an essential role in every new home build. As the ones responsible for connecting with our partners and suppliers, it’s their hard work that ensures that every home is built on schedule, and every detail is exactly right.

 

What does the Purchasing Team do?

  • Make sure that all materials and finishes have been ordered on time for each stage of the building process.
  • Work hand-in-hand with Quality Homes’ valued partners and suppliers to get the best possible quality products for your home.
  • Stay up to date with new building products and materials to ensure our offerings are fresh and high quality.
  • Ensure a reliable supply line to avoid delays in the construction process, so that you can move into your new home right on time.

Modular Construction Team

 

Our in-house Construction Team is responsible for building your modular home inside our climate-controlled facility in Kenilworth. A diverse group of highly-skilled craftspeople backed by 125 years of expertise, our Construction Team are each an expert in their field. Their precision, knowledge, and diligence ensure that every home is built on time and to the highest possible standards.

 

What does the Construction Team do?

 

Build your home! This includes:

  • Using specialized equipment and saws to precisely fabricate and assemble all engineered trusses, cut floor joists, ceiling framing, and wall studs.
  • Framing of floor, walls, roof, to the exact measurements on blueprints.
  • Electrical rough-ins and fixtures by our master electrician and their team to power your home.
  • Plumbing and setting all fixtures including tubs, toilets, sinks, showers.
  • Construction of an energy-efficient building envelope, including insulation, sheathing walls and roof, shingles, and installing windows and doors.
  • Interior finishing including drywall, paint, flooring, trim, hanging doors, installing light fixtures, and all of the detailed finishes to the home from your custom selections.
  • Cabinetry installation for your kitchen and bathrooms, and any custom millwork included in your design.
  • Cleaning the entire home following the construction process to ensure your new home is pristine upon delivery.

PLUS, our Construction Team is responsible for upholding all of our high standards, innovative processes, and accomplishments, including:

 

  • Performing up to 150 quality assurance inspections for every module of the homes we build in order to meet all requirements for a full CSA certification.
  • We are awarded Air Tightness Champion, year over year, for our energy efficient modular building practices.
  • Our team generates less waste from buying in bulk and using materials on multiple projects, pulling from inventory as needed, etc.
  • Building 52 weeks of the year in a climate-controlled environment, materials stay straight and true, protected from the weather to ensure a better built home for our homeowners.
  • Being able to build components of the home indoors instead of on-site has allowed for the development of innovative engineering and building practices. For example, our unique ability to design and build our roof trusses to accommodate for transportation and the craning of modules on site. Truly a modular marvel!
  • Performing all services under one roof by one team allows us to completely control the process, avoiding delays or issues. On-site, you don’t get that luxury. All of the Quality Homes teams are in one place to complete your home to the highest quality standards.

Depending on the design, we finish as much as we can inside the plant, with only a small fraction of the build completed on-site. These are typically elements that benefit from on-site construction, such as garages, porches, or decks!

 


 

Site & Warranty Team

 

Last, but certainly not least! Quality Homes’ Site Team work very hard together to ensure all siteworks for your home, as well as your extended 10-year Tarion Warranty, are completed properly. It takes incredible organizational skills to coordinate this stage of our process, so that you can finally move into your new Quality Home!

 

What does the Site & Warranty Team do?

 

  • Manage, plan, schedule and coordinate all site activities.
  • Coordinate the routing and road permitting to allow modular units to be delivered on our trucks to your property.
  • Foundation Supervisors coordinate and supervise foundation installation.
  • Delivery Supervisors coordinate and supervise the setting of the modules using our crane operator to place the units onto your foundation.
  • Site Construction Managers coordinate and supervise any onsite building and finishing to complete your home.
  • Complete the detailed process of our Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) when the house is completed and then signed off.
  • Look after all customer care and warranty service queries, ensuring we take care of any warrantable issues that may arise.

With over 3 decades of home building expertise, our Site and Service team will guide you with confidence into your new home!
