We had the pleasure of working with city core developments between Oct/2012 to July/2013 on a spec home that was framed with windows and roof in place. The home was located in a neighbourhood which we wanted to live in and we wanted to have some input on the finishes and any other minor changes as are required in any custom build. Our construction manager Mark was very approachable and always responsive to any questions or concerns we had. Of coarse Wayne provided hands on expertise and advise every step of the way as well as excellent, fair and quality customer care. We have never built a home before but city core's staff was very helpful and professional throughout the whole process. The house was supposed to be complete by the end of June but due to our changes and the flood delays in Calgary, we did not moved in until the end of July. There were some additional expenses incurred with change orders every time we wanted to change or add to the original spec guidelines given to us for the home but we tried to keep that to a minimum. All costs pertaining to changes were clearly reviewed prior to payment with no hidden charges. The warranty process has been very thorough and professional so far as well. I would highly recommend City Core as a builder/contractor to anyone considering a developing with a highly professional and upscale quality home builder!
- Approximate cost of services:
- $2.50
- What could this company do to improve their services?
- Be confident about outside service recommendations ie. millworker designers or A/V specialists before suggesting customer to use them.
- Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
- Be very careful about changes to a spec home, it can be very costly over the long run.
