I don’t even know where to begin in describing how wonderful our experience has been with Metric Homes so far. We know a good amount about builders as we did our first new build through Mattamy and then almost bought another new build through Mattamy and then Minto, and we have a lot of friends who have done new builds with various builders where we hear about all of their experiences, and let me tell you, Metric Homes is exceptionally better than your traditional builder.
We love that they take pride in what their homes look like: their ‘standards’ are actually nice with a decent variety in options, if your front and back can fit big windows, they include it without charging more because they know how much nicer the exterior of the home will look when people pass by.
The best part for me is that you can build a fully custom home with them, which is something I always wanted but didn’t think was possible due to all the work and initial costs, but with Metric, you put down a deposit and they are there to guide you along each step of the way. I am a very particular person and had a lot of ‘needs’ for this home yet the owner was always so patient, attentive, and was just as passionate as us to make this our dream home. When some of our ‘wish-list’ items conflicted, the owner would keep playing around with our draft plan to find a way to make it work or would have a variety of other options for us. The team is small which I like because it allows us all to really get to know each other and they all get back to you very fast. We also appreciated their honesty, as when we sought advice, they wouldn’t just give us answers that would be in their favour.
We are now at the interior design stage so I can’t speak to the whole process, but I will once our home is built in 2020.
