Paragon's construction drawings were very detailed and Frank was responsive to comments for a couple rounds of revisions.
They were successful in managing the construction of the building envelope within about 2-3 months and the details were scrutinized with the trades, which was good. My main source of delay was having Hydro Quebec bring power in which was outside of Paragon's control.
Frank was generally very responsive to questions and comments as the construction proceeded.
I found the reference to the Paragon "kit" to be confusing as this is not a typical pre-made kit (e.g. made offsite), but rather a envelope system which was build on site with just about the perfect amount of materials delivered on site for the needs, minimizing waste.
We had a few hiccups, as all construction projects do, and my project is not quite complete yet (still waiting on Hydro Quebec!), but on the whole, I am pleased with the work of Paragon. Frank is particularly knowledgeable.
As a first-time home self-builder, I was particularly comforted knowing I had an experienced Project Manager on my side.
The Paragon approach also saved me money as all components of the project were put out to tender and the range in prices was often huge.
I would not hesitate to recommend them to other self-builders.
Frank, Nicholas, and Nicole's help was invaluable in coordinating all aspects of our project with Bonneville homes.
From initial quotes and coordinating the trades, to reviewing the work done on site, they were there to support and guide us every step of the way and we couldn't have done it without them. They were always available and quick to respond, and we appreciated the wealth of experience they brought to the table.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services!
Astronomical wood prices, overbooked contractors, rising costs of most materials — that’s what building in 2021 has meant to people building homes this year. Every home build is fraught with challenges, but this year has been exceptionally difficult. Francois Murray of Paragon Homes has made this challenging experience bearable for us — more than bearable: enjoyable. Because of his wealth of experience and can-do attitude, our home build is on time. As each new complication appears, Francois finds a solution. He told us at the start of the house-building process that problems would arise, but that there is always a fix — he has been true to promise to find a timely and cost effective answer to each glitch. We are 3/4 of the way through our build, and we still trust and respect the work Francois, the Senior Project Manager, does. We also value highly the attention to detail and thoroughness Nicolas Murray, the Junior Project Manager, applies to our home construction. He responds quickly to texts, phone calls, and emails; we feel he has our best interest at heart as he keeps the contractors on track. We feel that Paragon Homes is giving 150% effort with integrity to ensure we finish this project with a well built home of upstanding craftsmanship—and with smiles on our faces — even in these Covid times.
We chose Paragon Homes to build our forever home as they provided a service that we could not find anywhere else. They allowed us freedom in the design process, with expert advice on architecture, design, budget management, and cutting edge industry practices. They designed a home based on our wants and needs, and respected our budget. Giving us the best value for our money.
The construction process was difficult at times (due to COVID-19), but Paragon Homes was able to adapt and make the best out of a bad situation. We stuck on schedule the best we could. We were always kept up to date with current project statuses, and informed when decisions needed to be made. We also had the opportunity to get our hands dirty and actually help with the construction (minor projects) with our home, which not a lot of home builders will allow.
We are very happy with our home and we are glad we chose Paragon Homes to lead our project.
