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...

Lot 63 - Finish Details



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!

 

 





New Technology, New Frontiers!

Check this out!

It's a screen shot of my IPhone.....Do you see it??? At the middle left hand side of the screen... Its a Hickory Homes App!!! WHAT???

We are so excited to be trying out a new online builder software that will allow us to have a better grasp on all our jobsites, schedules and better avenue to communicate with clients (especially out of town clients).

If it all works out as planned,  our clients will be given a login and password which will give them access to their own personal jobsite website! AND (if they choose) will be able to download the Hickory Homes app to their smartphone!! SO COOL!

We are on a trial basis with 2 of our clients...hopefully up and running with ALL future clients mid-autumn!

Also....HAVE YOU SEEN OUR NEW WEBSITE!!!!!!! Get over there now! (OOPS its not quite up yes as of Tuesday at 4:43! Hopefully tomorrow...you know what, just keep checking it until its up!)

I think you can tell by all the caps that we are EXCITED.

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!

Update - DenOuden Residence

We finally got the basement poured after the rain stopped in mid July, so our guys have been working like crazy to get us caught up and on schedule!

We have made all of our selections for the exterior:

 ...kitchen and bathrooms are designed and ordered:

 ...and design details have been specified:

Now everything comes together, stay tuned for progress pictures!

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!!
