What's the difference between a Prestige and a site-built home?
|
|
It's all in the process. A Prestige home is built indoors, protected from the weather in a climate-controlled factory environment, by skilled and trained trades using advanced precision equipment and construction techniques. Factory building is a very efficient construction process with built-in quality control. The result is consistently high quality, quick turn-around and guaranteed delivery. In other words, a Prestige home is built right, on time and on budget - every time!
|
|
|
Do the homes look different?
|
|
Factory building is a way of constructing homes of superior quality, not a style or a look. There are few limits on the design, size or style of factory-built homes. They can range from starter homes to luxury residences and can fit into any location or neighbourhood, from rural acreage to urban infill to adult lifestyle communities.
|
|
|
What sets your homes apart from your competitors?
|
|
We believe that nobody offers a better home. Our construction standards are higher than most (e.g. R-25 Insulated walls in our Designer Series homes rather than R20), and our design features are second to none (e.g. we put a premium on bright, open living areas and kitchen layouts that work efficiently for today's busy families). We also have an incredible selection of flooring, tiles, cabinets and other finishes for you to choose from.
|
|
|
Can I make changes to your plans?
|
|
By all means! With a Prestige home, you get to personalize your home. All of our Designer Series homes offer pre-designed alternative floor plans and exteriors. And for all of our homes, we'll also work with you to incorporate specific interior or exterior details you want, so you get the home that is completely right for you and your family.
|
|
|
Can I bring in my own plans?
|
|
Yes, we are happy to build your home from your plans. Whether you bring us a complete set of architectural drawings, your own sketches or a scrapbook of ideas and images, our team will work with you to create your own, unique home.
|
|
|
Are your homes built to the building code?
|
|
Yes, all our homes meet or exceed the National Building Code of Canada.

What's a modular home?
|
|
It refers to a home constructed in modules that are partially completed in the factory, and then assembled and finished on your site. The number of modules can range from two for a simple one-storey plan to six, eight or more modules for a large multi-level home. Depending on the particular plan, the home may be 75% to 90% finished in the factory; the site work may take from one to several weeks. Most Prestige homes are modular.
|
|
|
What's a panelized home?
|
|
This refers to homes that are built in panelized wall sections in the Prestige panel plant in Sussex and shipped to the customer's site, where the sections are assembled and the home completed.
|
|
|
Where are Prestige homes built?
|
|
The homes are constructed in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility located in Sussex, New Brunswick and brought to your site where we will finish it inside and out. If you like - we can arrange an appointment to tour the Prestige plant to see how this unique building process works.
|
|
|
Are there model homes I can see?
|
|
Visiting a model home is one of the best ways to experience a Prestige home - you can see, touch, feel and sense the superb construction, the outstanding finishes and the fabulous features of our homes. You can visit our Sales Centre in Stewiacke to view some of our model homes.

|
Can you help me with financing my new home?
|
|
Yes - we have a good working relationship with local banks and lenders. If you want, we can assist you through the process of getting a mortgage for your home by referring you to lenders, setting up appointments, and so on. That's just part of the service you get when you build with us.

|
|
What is the square foot cost?
|
|
This is a dangerous way to price compare builders. You will get an answer and not enough information. For example: Does that include a foundation? What type of flooring is included? What costs are left out of that price? The best way to price compare is to pick a floor plan that you like and get a detailed written quote with all of the specifics that you want in your home.
