Welbanks Semi Update

We are ecstatic,  and also sorry,  to inform you that all of our semi-detached homes in the Welbanks subdivision are now sold.  We are currently finishing the last unit for a great local couple and their daughter.  I think they are really going to enjoy the Welbanks community.

Here are a couple pictures of Lot 61 and 63, the last 2 units we completed (because I have really been slacking with finish pictures...sorry about that!)

Welbanks Subdivision - Late Fall Update

After a bit of a delay we got our client into her home in Welbanks Meadows! We love how all the finishes turned out.  Especially her fireplaces!

The units across the road from her are moving along as scheduled and we are working with their respective owners to create interiors that are suited to their style and taste!

Here is a little preview of some of those interior selections...

Late Fall Progress - Wellington

With all this great weather we have been getting lots done this fall.  Luckily we haven't seen much of the white stuff yet (aside from the light dusting yesterday morning!)

We are making progress at our Wellington job.  This project is really interesting, our client wanted it to look like a "Modern Barn" both on the outside and the inside.  We will be starting the exterior cladding in the next week or two.  Our client chose a really interesting combination of materials for the exterior...it will be red, metal, architectural panels on the 2 storey section (reminiscent of a big red barn....but modern).  The single storey section will have wood siding stained to look like weathered barn board.  The windows are black aluminum, commercial windows, which give them a very streamlined, modern look both on the exterior and the interior.
It may not look like much has been done since the last update, but lots has been happening inside...lots of interesting features which I will get into next time! 

Fall Updates

Its been great working weather here in Prince Edward County and our crews are getting lots done.
We are moving quite along with several projects!

Wellington:
If you have driven through Wellington the last few weeks you will see lots of action on the east end! The new Gas station/Tim Hortons is getting really close to completion and right across the road is our "Modern Barn" house, all framed up and ready to start looking like a Barn!
We are a little jealous of the view from the top deck!

 

 

 

Welbanks Meadows:

 

The unit we started in July is in the finishing stages and should be complete in the next couple weeks.  The push was on for this unit and our guys really came through with finishing! We are lucky to have a great crew who can come through in a pinch.

 

 

 

Wayne was the only one willing to be on camera!

 

 

The other side of this semi-detached unit is still available! Give us a call or email us for more information.

 



 

 

We also started the 2 units across the road (both are already sold!).  We have been working with these clients on interior finishes. Luckily, we are well on our way and should have no delays with these homes! These are our final 2 semi-detached units in the subdivision.

 

 

Morrison Point:

Our job in Morrison Point is also moving along nicely, we are all drywalled and ready for finishing.  The clients have opted to paint themselves, so we have stepped out for a week to allow them to complete that!

 

 

Our House:

We are moving in really shortly! Here are a few teasers....please excuse the excessive use of herringbone...I may have gone a touch overboard!

 

 





August Updates

Finally a little progress in Wellington! We have a hole and we have selected exterior finishes....we have begun on all the interior details and I am SUPER excited to show you what we have come up with....but not yet (awww so mean!)

Our Morrison Point project is well under way and we have been working with the clients to hammer out all the interior details and finishes.

The Semi-Detached units in Picton have been very delayed ....not too happy about that, but some things are beyond our control.  We have walls and a roof....just waiting on trades to finish their part so we can get in there and get caught up!

July Update....a little late!

Well the rain went away here in PEC and we are into our busiest time of year! We have 6 projects on the go, here is a little update on a few of those and one very cool recently completed project.

We just completed a commercial project for Henderson Williams LLP and it is stunning (if we do say so ourselves).  They decided (after a little convincing) to stick with the exposed concrete, brick and duct work ....and just look at the final product:

We are moving right along at our Morrison Point project, this week we are getting windows and roofing....these pictures were taken last week. Next week's pictures will be dramatically different.

We have another hole in the ground in Welbanks Subdivision here in Picton.  We have been busy selling the few semi-detached units that we have left on this street!  Only 1 unit is still available, and it is the west side of this unit!  We are just finishing up the design/permit stage on the final 2 units, which should break ground later this summer.  These pictures were taken last week, we have walls now!!

Wellbanks Meadows #4 - Finishing

We are in the end stages of another build in the Welbanks Subdivision in Picton.  We will be starting the next set of Semi-Detatched units this week.
The new owners of this semi decided to go with lots of different colours, and I think the wall colours in the living room co-ordinate nicely with the tile flooring in the kitchen area.

Cant wait to show you the finished product in a couple weeks!

Welbanks - Lot 68 Selections

We have been working closely with all our Welbanks clients to help them select finishes and fixtures.  Here is our concept for Lot 68...its a lovely transitional colour palate and finishes.    I'll  let you know how this one turns out at the end of April!

Welbank Meadows - Kitchen Options

We are working with the future owners of one of our Villa's to finalize their kitchen layout and design.

We pride ourselves in offering clients a building experience with options, because we know homeowners don't want to walk into their neighbours house and see the same finishes as their own! We also don't like building the same house over and over again....its boring for us too!

So even though these Villa's are a "production" build we want our clients to have a home that is uniquely theirs.

For these clients, they started with the same footprint as our model unit but we reconfigured the interior space to reflect a design that they were comfortable with.  The only thing they couldn't picture from the plans was how the kitchen was going to work for them....luckily we have an interior designer here (that's me!) who could put their mind at easy by showing them all their options!  Here were their options:

You'll have to wait for the final pictures to find out which layout they chose!
Which one would you choose?

Welbank Meadows - Foundation Complete!

We got our Villa foundation backfilled just in time for the first dusting of snow....right on schedule for our spring closing dates.  As you can see we use steel beams, which give us nice squeak-free floor on our main level and the added bonus of fewer bulkheads and metal posts in our basements!

Welbanks Meadows - Phase 2

You may remember back in the Spring (on the old blog) we mentioned our venture into building semi-detached villa style homes in the Welbank Meadows subdivision in Picton.  We didn't anticipate the demand for this type of housing and have been pleased with the response from home buyers.  In the fall we completed the first phase of our build and those 2 units sold quickly so we decided to start construction of the second set of Villa's (one of which is already sold!).  These units should be complete in early Spring 2015.

 

 

These Villa's include many of the standard features you will find in all our homes, like 9' ceilings, hardwood flooring and semi-custom en-suite bathrooms.  Although the exterior finishes and footprint of these homes are pre-selected to ensure a cohesive looking community, we work with our clients to provide interior layouts that work for their lifestyle and budget...and these services are complimentary! 

Below are some interior shots of one of the units we just completed.  This clients son is Joe Carroll, a custom cabinet and furniture maker, he did a lovely job designing and installing her custom kitchen!
