Stonegate Builders – What Makes Them Great
Most folks in the Twin Cities have heard of Gonyea, the long-running custom home builder whose inception dates back 35 years. Their reputation precedes them in every community they enter, promising quality craftsmanship and ornate detail. So, why isn’t everyone talking about Stonegate Builders?
Who is Stonegate?
Stonegate was born of a desire to provide those same standout features on which Gonyea was built without the burden of months of painstaking decision-making. Branching off after several successful years in the Minneapolis suburbs, their communities can be found all around the Twin Cities. Featuring some of the finest communities the metro has to offer, Stonegate has found itself with a unique proposition: what if they could provide all the craftsmanship of a custom home, in a timely manner, for an affordable price?
In the world of new construction homes, there are three types of builders: Design-Build (all the decisions), Semi-Custom (some decisions), and Production (few decisions). (More about those here).These styles of construction are often misinterpreted as being indicative of their quality. However, the true difference lies in the preferred process of the buyer. For someone who wants all the luxurious amenities and stylings of a professional interior designer, quickly, and for a fair price, Stonegate is a match made in heaven.
Advantages of Efficient Construction
An aspect of construction I find folks don’t take into consideration is how long the process can drag on. In a custom environment, where the buyer has to make every decision from the color of the siding to the handles on the doors, this process can quickly drain even the most patient individuals. There are a lot of steps when designing and building a home, and many of these can be handled effortlessly by the builder with proper planning.
Of course, the mark of any successful company is their ability to communicate clearly and consistently. The beauty of a production builder is having the process laid out from the very beginning, for both the buyer and the subcontractors. When the same floor plan is being utilized over several builds, trades are increasingly efficient and make less errors. Materials are ordered well in advance, meaning a faster build and lower probability of unexpected delays. And with consistent check-ins from the builder, you’ll never be left in the dark.
