Susan & Bernd

After carefully designing our new home with our architect, we researched extensively into who would be our preferred builder. We followed the recommendations and suggestions of colleagues , friends, and professionals in the trades. We went so far as to sit down and interview four builders with our blueprints, checking references, and personally viewing the recently built homes of two of them. We were looking for quality construction, a good rapport with the builder, and fair pricing. Our conclusion was that Graeme Sperber and his crew from Somerset Construction best addressed these goals. Now, two months into living in our new home, we can reflect upon our experience. Overall it was a very positive one, and it was largely so because of the excellent trades people who worked on Graeme's team. They were professional, and courteous, and demonstrated a high level of perfectionism - and they did all this according to schedule, and on time! We were downsizing from a larger home in Lawrence Park, and were impressed by the quality of the workmanship that was frequently superior to that in our old house. Did any problems develop? Of course they did - as to be expected in any new custom home construction. However, when problems were encountered, or mistakes were made, they were readily acknowledged and corrected. We made select "changes" and "upgrades", and felt that the additional costs involved were fair and appropriate. Our site supervisor was a lovely gentleman who faithfully organized and supervised the workers during the entire construction. If you take personal pride in your home, building a new house is a tiring, and sometimes stressful undertaking. Throughout our process, Graeme was supportive, gave us frequent updates, and provided us with meaningful and helpful advice. Certainly from our overall perspective, we wholeheartedly recommend Graeme Sperber and the crew from Somerset Construction to anyone considering a new house construction, or renovation.
