Where do I begin?

You begin by deciding on your basic requirements such as size, style (bungalow, two-storey, bi-level), and function of the home - is it for family dwelling only or will you be working out of your home. The more realistic and detailed picture you can create, the easier it will be to choose the right home.

How do I choose a Home Plan?

Choosing a Home Plan couldn't be easier. Thanks to Crawford Homes' inventory of popular proven plans we can easily tweek them to include the preferences and details you find important. Even if some of your ideas are taken from other plans or from a picture, we can make these ideas become reality. You'll find it easy to envision your new home as you participate in the creative process.

How Long does it take to build a Crawford Home?

Approximately four to five months depending on the size and type of home you want.

Is Crawford Homes a member of any Home Builders Associations?

Yes...Crawford Homes has been a member of the Regina Home Builders Association since 1978.

How much do you charge per Square Foot?

Building professionals do not price homes according to square footage. The reason is that the construction cost of homes does not vary directly according to square footage. Some areas of a home cost more than others. For example, enlarging a kitchen costs more than enlarging a bedroom because kitchens cost more per square foot than a bedroom. Our homes are priced very competitively and our success is shown in that we are constantly one of Regina's top home builders.

I've heard new Homes are quite airtight - what about fresh air?

Today's homes tend to be considerably more airtight than in the past. Crawford Homes are especially well sealed by incorporating the latest in construction technology as standard. A well-designed heating and venting system is a critical requirement.

All our homes come standard with a heat-recovery ventilation system (HRV) or also known as air-to-air exchange systems, which draws fresh air from the outside, pre-conditions it, and distributes it throughout our homes. Crawford Homes further enhances homeowner comfort by utilizing high-efficiency furnaces and 7-day programmable digital auto-changeover thermostats.

What is the Warranty on my new home?

Crawford Homes has a 10 year structural warranty backed by the Progressive Warranty Program. To qualify for registration a builder must pass a rigorous evaluation of their technical expertise, track record, financial position, and have a proven reputation in the industry. Registration attests to a builder's commitment to quality materials and superior workmanship.

Why would I buy a new home over a previously owned one?

Modern Amenities

Today's homes are actually built better, with the modern homeowner in mind. Our models feature natural light, high ceilings, plenty of closet space, large garages, main-floor laundry rooms, and extra space you can tailor to your needs - whether for a home office, playroom, or theatre centre. Open floor plans for entertaining, spacious kitchens for celebrations, and luxurious bathrooms to relax in are just some of the reasons why a new home is more attractive.

Environmental Impact and Energy Efficiency

Crawford Homes leads Regina's new home construction sector in building energy-efficient, environmentally-sustainable homes. All of our base models are more energy-efficient than older homes thanks to higher insulation levels, full-height basement insulation, foundation leak-proofing, tighter construction, and advances in mechanical and electrical systems, which also save you money on heating and cooling bills. To learn more about Crawford Homes' sustainable options, contact a Giesbrecht Team member, Doug, Lori or Al.

Customization

When you buy a new home, you're literally building it from the ground up. From choosing kitchen tiling and exterior paint colours to adjusting floorplans and picking a lot, every detail of your dream home is yours to select. Moving day is worry-free, giving you time to unpack and simply enjoy your new space.

Less Maintenance

New innovations in homebuilding mean your home is built to the latest standards with new, quality materials and advanced techniques (high efficiency furnace, energy efficient continuous hot water heating system and Heat Recovery Ventilation). Additionally, our new homes are covered by the Ten Year Structural New Home Warranty Program. This means your home is covered for any material or workmanship defects during the first year after you move in, and for any major structural issues that arise in the first ten years.
