We had Alair Homes complete a major renovation of an old home in Chemainus that had been renovated many times from its original construction as a summer home in the late 40's. Construction on a structure with different foundations, and building styles is fraught with unknowns and uncertainties. We knew this from the beginning and so did Alair Homes. David Babakaif was the project supervisor and kept the lines of communication open and the house was completed with no compromises. All the surprises were dealt with in a professional and competent manner. The quaility of subtrades was excellent and we couldn't be happier with the result.
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.
Thanks for the review Jim! I am glad we were able to help right from the VARIANCE we successfully obtained through design and build (including that awesome over sized garage and shop). It turned out beautiful and you guys will enjoy it for many years. Best Wishes, David.
David and his team from Alair created a showpiece en suite for us. Professional and courteous every step of the way and on budget too. Highly recommend them.
