Default Home builders in Red Deer

Looking to plan our forever house build this new year. Just wondering about any experiences you would have had with builders in Red Deer good or bad. Thanks for any wisdom you can pass on!

although we did not build so i can't comment on the process we bought a brand new home from san maria homes in blackfalds in sept 2016 and are very happy with it and have had no issues what so ever. they are a smaller builder where the owner is very hands on with the actual build not just a general contractor in an office

If you want one of the best, if not THE best custom builder in red deer... speak to Ted Olson.

internet is your friend to eliminate poor performance, sometimes you have to dig deep, the heavy advertisers with the everything is rosey pics may not be the best choice.

just my opinion.

No matter who you go with you will have ups and downs. From my experience make sure everything you want is written down & documented. Save all texts and emails. That way you know what you asked for and what they said.

since when???
5 homes in my close, 5 very dissatisfied owners, guess who builder was??
4 of them bought other homes ensuring they were built by a different builder before purchasing.
I won't publically say anything more.
Buyer beware.

Meh, we had ours custom built with them. Process was very smooth. In all reality, they were good to us. Obviously you feel different, but that was our experience with them.

Goodluck op.

I may be too late to the party, but if anyone sees this, you have to avoid Abby Platinum.
