Frequently asked questions about custom homes
Each of our projects is as unique and diverse as our clients, which is exciting for us. If you have any specific questions, feel free to chat with us or give us a call at 604 676 8888!
Can I view one of your projects in-progress?
If we have a project under construction, and we have the permission of the client we would love to show you a project in action! This is a great way to assess a contractor as you get to see things from the inside out. For Brookside Homes, this is also an opportunity to show what makes our approach so unique and what makes Brookside a different kind of contractor.
Another builder who I would prefer not to use said they would build my home for a low price, can you match it?
If you are seeking the absolute lowest price Brookside Homes may not be your builder. However, we will secure the best price on all the materials and labor because we are a preferred general contractor by suppliers and our cost is YOUR cost. Our clients find that when compared to other builders, Brookside Homes delivers a far greater value for their investment and they truly appreciate the 100% cost transparency that only Brookside Homes guarantees on every project. We will charge fairly for our expertise and ensure that we stick to your budget. We encourage you to investigate every detail of your builder’s contract and learn what others have experienced before choosing any contractor. Brookside Homes welcomes extreme due diligence because we know how important of a decision this is for you, your family, and your future.
How experienced are your Project Managers?
Since the success of your project relies heavily on strong management, we are extremely selective and hire only the best project managers. Our project managers receive extensive and ongoing training on a weekly and monthly basis. The success of our business is built on the strength of our project managers and we are proud of the highly skilled team we have assembled at Brookside Homes.
What is your typical cost per square foot?
Cost per square foot is a very poor way to gauge the cost of completing your custom home because it is only relevant if you are comparing the exact same home plan and fitted with the exact same fixtures. Brookside Homes will not quote on a per-square-foot basis because we understand that in order to ensure the best possible experience for you, you deserve to understand the true cost of your project that matches your goals and specifications. This requires a thorough budgeting process with a knowledgeable construction professional with past experience in your type of project. This process does not take long and is the surest way to give you the confidence you need to understand what the total cost will be before the project starts.
