Kimberley Homes

I was ready to downsize. Weeks were spent looking at locations to find one that was urban, yet had strong ties to nature and more open spaces. I then reviewed floorplans of the builders active in my preferred subdivision, to find flow and functionality. I paid visits to show homes. I wanted efficiencies in the design of the mechanicals first. I had seen too many basements that were difficult to develop because of careless placement of an electrical panel or plumbing stack. I also wanted to see how each home was put together. After the bones were looked at the pretty stuff was admired. Once deciding on a model, I wanted to make minor architectural and decorative changes to the floor plan. All this was important to ultimately take the leap and buy a place. If I had not been able to take any of the previous steps, I would have chosen another builder or another subdivision. There was not a deadline.
During the build, when issues or concerns arose I was able to tour the home with the superintendent and resolve them. The sub trades and suppliers were equally flexible, so that in the end, I felt I had created my home.
