Home Builder

Great building experience! Very well thought out process to walk people through the whole building process. Well constructed home. Would build with Baywest again. Worked with Amanda Reynolds and Jamie Blakemore and they were fantastic to work with for our build in Okotoks, Alberta

Graham and Ron did an amazing job walking us through the purchase of our new home in Mahogany. The have taken the time to answer our many questions. So happy we purchased in Mahogany with hopewell - we loved the free movie with kids too:) thanks!!

I am writing this review to express my dissatisfaction with my experience with Ezra on Riley (Birchwood). Having purchased a new home before with Cedarglen, I am familiar with a better level of customer service on how deficiencies and warranty items are handled. First, my previous home had a lot fewer deficiencies and it was a 2500 square foot house. The deficiencies that were found were handled promptly and did not create further damage to the property. At Ezra on Riley (Birchwood), in a 525 square foot condo, it has been a completely different experience. I took possession in May (2018) and had a list of items that were to be addressed BEFORE possession. When I showed up on possession day, several items were not addressed or very poorly completed. For example, a floor board that was lifting was just hammered in, leaving a large dent. The ceiling had cracks in them and were just patched over with no texturing. They told me that they would fix these items after I was finished moving in. This has still not been done. One of the biggest issues we had was with the air conditioning not working which took several follow ups on my part, escalating the issue to management, and several appointments. In a record hot summer, being without air conditioning in a condo where you paid for air conditioning is something you want resolved quickly. We are still not sure if it's working because it's no longer required with the cooler weather. My biggest complaint is the dismissal of concerns or completely ignoring emails of supposed professionals and management. I did not pay a premium on a condo to be told that my standards do not matter, that sub-par work is "within tolerance", or that I just need to learn how to use the thermostat (this wasn't the issue). We have spoken with some of our neighbours and they have had similar issues so I am well aware that I am not the only one. Do not buy a condo here unless you get every deficiency and how it will be addressed in writing, in your purchase contract, before you sign to purchase. Deficiencies are normal in a new build but you want a company that has a high degree of accountability and addresses them promptly. Some things to watch out for: -Air conditioning system works -Ceiling cracks -Flooring dents -Scratches on windows -Bathroom shower tile misplacement -Appliances working (especially washer & dryer)

Point Design Homes advertised a new home for sale located at 607 3rd Ave NE Calgary. They informed me that the parkade was not completed however a minimum deposit of $30,000 would secure the selling price of the home as they expected the market to increase. I entered a legal contract with Japant Brar and Raj Chalal (Alberta lawyer) with the intent to purchase the home. Shortly after moving into the property I had issues with ventilation and lack of insulation between my unit and the adjoining unit. I discussed with the City of Calgary and was informed that the house was built 10 years ago and has failed multiple inspections. The house was not given an occupancy permit and these builders took my money knowing full well that the house was not habitable ! Raj Chalal and Japant Brar rented the other units as an air bnb throughout the past 3 years without an occupancy permit and knowing that the home did not pass fire inspection ! I gave these crooks $90000 in total. Run@

We needed a bathroom reno done in our 1912 house, and so we asked Jameswood if they would come round and give us a quote. Why Jameswood? They had worked on our house twice before on different projects over the last 15 years, as well as building the house next door and rebuilding another house on the next street. So we have had plenty of opportunity to observe their work over a period of time, noting a consistency of quality and attention to detail that has not been so forthcoming with other builders. Not only that, but the human element involved is always a pleasant experience. We’ve never met a nicer, more polite group of tradespeople. Considerate, helpful and constantly professional. It’s very easy for us to recommend Jameswood to anyone else. They’re a dedicated caring firm of knowledgeable individuals.

We just took possession of our new home and we couldn’t be happier. From our initial meeting to when we received the keys last Friday, homes by us has more than delivered on their promise to build a beautiful home for our family. I had heard stories from others about how building can be stressful and how things go wrong but our experience was all positive. The initial meetings, choosing the home and settling a contract were fun and exciting for us. The process of building through their design centre was also excellent, they gave us so much time and care and were brilliant at guiding our decisions so the house achieved a real consistent design flow. They worked with us and didn’t just take orders, they gave us advice and direction. We had some ideas about a basement bar and media space for example but with their help we got a dream bar and media room instead! The whole house is better than we imagined and we couldn’t be happier. And all of this delivered well ahead of our expected possession date . Now that’s it finished we’re almost sad it’s over and will definitely miss working with them. Very much recommend this company!

I purchased a great home from this builder however have been disappointed with the after care. I had a few simple questions which were ignored and never answered.

Bought a home from these cowboys never again warranty non existent, Alberta New home Warranty the same, the quality of workmanship on some items appalling. These people once they have your money don't care. Utter Garbage
