| | Why buy a Kenalex home? | | | When building a new community, we consider the design of each home
relative to its impact on the entire neighbourhood. When you purchase a
Kenalex home, you buy into a unique neighbourhood and life-style.
We recognize that buying a home is a major commitment and that
our customers should be confident that their investment, in our homes,
is as secure as possible. Our commitment to the buyer is seen in the
quality of design and construction that goes into each new home.
Further, our customers are assured that other homes, in the
neighbourhood, receive the same attention to detail and quality that
they expect. The result is a neighbourhood that, when completed,
enhances the value of every home in the area.
|
| | Do I pick from stock plans or can I build a custom home? | | | Kenalex customers can select their new home from pre-designed plans, or
make use of our custom design/build program. Each option has distinct
advantages.
Pre-designed homes, in which many of the built elements and
features can be repeated on several homes, offer our customers quality
homes at a reduced cost. Although design elements are repeated on
several homes, the availability of several designs, changes in street
elevation, building materials, and colour selection, allow us to build
our subdivisions without a cookie-cutter look.
The custom design/build program affords our customers the
opportunity to build a home to meet their specific requirements. With
guidance from our designers, homes are ensured to fit tastefully within
the neighbourhood, while allowing our customers to shape the design
according to their own taste.
|
| | Once I decide to purchase, how much time is required to build my new home? | | | Typically, a pre-designed home will require 12-14 weeks, during our
building season, to build. Due to weather conditions, foundations are
started in April through to the end of November.
The time required to complete custom design/build homes varies
depending on the amount of time spent on design, the size of the home,
special features, etc. At completion of the design phase, Kenalex will
provide an estimated completion date.
All Kenalex homes are registered with Tarion Warranty
Corporation. The Tarion Waranty Corporation contains specific
requirements that protect the owner with respect to agreed upon
completion and closing dates.
|
| | If I decide to build a Kenalex home, how can I be sure that my costs are fixed and that there are no nasty surprises? | | | If you decide on a pre-designed plan, you are assured of the final
price from the very outset. Just ask for the list price. Price changes
are only required if you add features to the home. Such upgrades can be
priced at the offer stage, so that you know the final price of the home
before you buy.
If you chose to use our custom design/build program, the
design and budget are developed in tandem. Once we agree on a budget
amount, the design is finalized and the estimate refined. We keep you
informed and involved regarding budget throughout the design process.
Once a plan is finalized, your cost is fixed.
With Kenalex, you are in control of your costs at all times.
All Kenalex homes are registered with the Tarion Warranty
Corporation, giving you the protection of an industry-backed warranty.
The warranty ensures quality workmanship and material, pricing
protection, and protection against unilateral changes in closing dates.
|
| | What about after sales service? | | | Every year since our formation, the Tarion Warranty Corporation has awarded Kenalex with an excellent rating,
in after sales service. Although all Kenalex homes undergo quality
control inspections throughout various stages of construction, the
customer may encounter the odd problem that is noticed after the home
is occupied. Our policy is to correct such problems as soon as
possible. Of course, we do our best to minimize any disturbance or
disruption to our customer's daily routine as a result of service work.
The true test of quality for any home is how it stands up over
the years. We admit, our toughest competition for new home sales arises
from re-sales of previously built Kenalex houses. Fortunately, many of
our new buyers are previous customers who are looking for a new home as
a result of changing lifestyles, growing families and empty nesters.
