Working with Alair homes was a pleasure. Very professional, very thorough. The unique budgeting process was a big deciding factor for us when we were looking for project manager. The ability to see your budget online at any given moment was a real plus. The feature of having a high end and a low end budget, and the ability to adjust to an higher end on certain items if you are under on others and be able to make those decision quickly because you always know where you're at financially is well worth it!

We recently completed the planning phase for an addition to our home. Having watched Alair Homes Vancouver remodel the home across the street, we were impressed with the way the managed the project, along with the final product. Our neighbours connected us with David and we started planning our own project. David was very personable and provided many creative ideas. We also enjoyed working with our project manager, Peter, who met with us weekly to give us updates and brainstorm ideas of our dream space. He was able to listen to our requests and create a place we were quite excited about. We really appreciated his detailed scope of work and once the planning phase was done we had a good understanding of what the project would look like and the breakdown of costs. Unfortunately, at this point we recognized the project wasn't feasible for us so had to put it on hold. Having transparent planning up front was one aspect that attracted us to Alair.

We recently completed a renovation with Alair Homes and are very happy with the results! From creating a project plan and identifying trades that would be suitable within our budget, to working as a team to solve the inevitable issues that come up along the way, their responsiveness and professionalism were much appreciated. We would absolutely work with Alair again in the future.

We’ve had the pleasure of collaborating on projects with Alair Homes over the past few years and they are an amazing custom homebuilder to work with. Being in the industry for over 12 years, our firm has worked with many different homebuilders. Without a doubt, Alair Homes is definitely among the best in terms of quality, transparency, and service excellence. Their unique business model allows them to give the homeowner a high quality home at an extremely competitive price based on their purchasing power of having multiple locations. This model is brilliant, as it creates a huge win-win for the homeowner client. Also, their business systems allow them to give homeowners a complimentary initial budget, which is a great service to homeowners considering building a custom home, and in the early stages of their project. Over the years, we have seen the “behind the scenes” of their business as their design partner, and only have raving reviews of each project we have complete with Alair. I would highly recommend Alair Homes to any homeowner looking to build a custom home.

The crew at Alair Homes are very professional. They are eager to provide quotes and have some excellent ideas. The openness to work with us and the transparency with regards to cost was a real positive. They renovated both our house and my business and I would strongly recommend them. I have used other contractors in the past and working with Alair was a much more rewarding experience. They kept focus on the end game and our budget, we are thrilled with the results.
