I guess the facebook group has caught the eye of at least one builder. I'm not interested in advertising for them, but has anyone heard of Ironco Master Builders? Their VP claims they're an up and coming builder with a couple of showhomes opening soon.
This is actually an interesting case study for the value of this blog. How might someone get enough information about a builder to feel comfortable making a sizable purchase from them? Is it enough just to look at a showhome?

Is it possible to ask for references from homeowners who have purchased from the builders you are considering? Have a checklist of things to ask before you decide who to hire.
ReplyDeleteDo builders have specific credentials/standards to meet before they can hang out their shingle?
Is there,or should there be, a site for homeowners to rate their builders such as there is for physicians?
Mike ask for references, preferably from the last three homes they have built. Try out a company called Gercon construction. They are not as cheap as some builders but they do not have to advertise their word of mouth is that good. They only build about 5 homes a year so they can keep good control over the management of their builds.

ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I looked for but couldn't find: a website for customers to rate their builders. I wasn't able to find one for Edmonton and I think it would be an incredibly valuable tool.
I would love to post reviews on this site of people's experiences with their builders. If you would like to contribute, or know someone who would, let me know!
