An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.
I have provided letters of reference to two couples from Ontario, planning to retire in BC, regarding the quality and professionalism of the Allair team. I found management to be responsive, professional, with respect to any questions during the construction process. The co-construct computer program was extremely valuable as it provided daily updates on the construction progress. I was in a position to visit the worksite on a daily basis and therefore got to know the trades personnel. They all had a long term working relationship with Alair and therefore there were no supprises, delays, or financial issues. Whereas at times there were a half dozen workers on our site, on other sites we saw one or two people. Clearly, economies of scale is a relevant issue. On the financial side, we came in very close to budget. I made some changes during construction which accounts for some of the deviation. All around the budgeting, financial control process was sound. Prior to signing a contract, we "intervied" the contractors, Alair being one. Mr. Babakaiff spent a considerable amount of time with us reviewing our draft plans. He actually had Alairs' architect produce a set of plans before we signed a contract. The other two companies had no interest in providing anything until we signed on the dotted line. As a former Dean of a business school, I found their approach somewhat curious. I strongly recommend Alair to anyone considering major renovations or building a new home.
