TOP 5 FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A BUILDER

There are many factors to consider when looking for a modular home builder, such as quality, scheduling, and costs. For your peace of mind as a homeowner it is important to be informed how to approach these factors and choose the best builder for you.

1. TIMELINE

It is vital to find a builder who’s schedule aligns with yours and that they will reliably match those expectations.

Quality Homes’ modular building methods avoid many of the common occurrences that cause delays in more traditional home construction, such as weather, variable site conditions, labour and transportation. By working with Quality Homes, your build will be completed in a short few months. That’s a significant improvement over the 1 year of traditional building methods. Utilizing our 125,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art production facility, we can implement an assembly line method in a controlled environment for maximum efficiency, constructing our homes in a two week average.

“Despite the numerous challenges experienced by the building industry as a whole throughout the pandemic, Quality Homes delivered on all fronts within our agreed timelines and budget.”

2. COSTS

Short and long-term costs and clear communication of quotes are important for being able to properly budget for your future and achieving the build you want. A trusted builder should be able to clearly explain their pricing, and set realistic expectations for costs without hidden fees.

Quality Homes’ builds will offer comparable construction costs and often ends up saving you money by our rapid and on-time builds, avoiding costs of delays, financing, rental, and many other such financial drains that can come up when builders fall behind schedule. Finally, every Quality Home comes with a H.U.G. (Homebuyer’s Ultimate Guarantee) which is our industry leading program to guarantee that your home is completed on time, with a quality warranty, and costs exactly what you were initially quoted with no hidden fees or additional charges.

“I love the fact that Quality Homes has no hidden costs or anything additional that is not discussed. I would and have recommended Quality Homes to anyone thinking of having their dream home built.”

3. COMMUNICATION & CUSTOMIZATION

A builder who communicates clearly, promptly, and transparently is key to obtaining a home you’re happy with. This will also impact your ability to customize your build, and get a home with everything you want and need.

4. QUALITY

A reliable builder should be able discuss the quality of materials used in the construction. Showing to you how those materials lead to efficient and long lasting homes, with all the needs you requested.

It’s in the name; Quality Homes does not compromise on the materials used and construction methods implemented in building your dream home. Some mistakenly think a modular home is, by necessity, of lower quality than a traditional home. However, the truth is often the opposite. Due to strict CSA standards and the use of a crane to set them in the foundation, modular homes must be built sturdier than traditional homes. Also, due to the factory setting where the homes are constructed, our process is closely supervised every step of the way, and there is no worry about weather causing damage to any materials.

“When we hired trades to finish our basement (plumbers/electricians) they all were impressed with the quality of the bones of the house. We would recommend anyone building a house to consider Quality Homes!”

5. WARRANTY

Ask about the builder’s warranty policy. How do they assure the quality of the construction of your home, and protect you going into the future.

Quality Homes offers peace of mind for the future, and not just for the process of construction. With our 10-year structural warranty, your home quality is assured by C.S.A. Inspectors with the Ontario New Home Warranty Program, along with our own inspectors. We also have our quality guarantee:

“Having your home built in a climate controlled environment and an industry leading 10 year Tarion warranty means peace of mind and shows a company that stands behind their product.”
