Article 3 of 7 of Single Family vs Grenadier Townhome Series
Not all home builders are created equally. Nor do they operate at the same level of integrity or passion. Some home builders are focused on building and selling a high volume of homes at the lowest possible cost, which can lead to material quality and poor workmanship risks. Other builders, like Grenadier Homes, focus on building a quality, long-lasting home that will keep you and yours safe, providing a strong, long-term investment.
Let’s examine this a little closer.
Production home builders, especially large ones, tend to focus on expansion and profit, which benefits their business but not necessarily homebuyers. With a business model like this, it’s not uncommon to find:
- Lower-grade materials to keep costs down, which may not last as long or perform as well as higher-end alternatives
- Variable workmanship with high turnover among superintendents and third-party subcontractors, which can lead to inconsistency and hidden defects not visible at purchase or at closing
- Minimal oversight with only meeting the minimum amount of inspections or building codes
- Subpar warranties that protect their margins, not a homebuyer’s home
The Grenadier Difference(s)
In contrast, Grenadier Homes’ business model prioritizes high-quality and energy-efficient construction, backed by multiple layers of inspections and highly tenured superintendents and warranty team. When you purchase a Grenadier Townhome, you can rest easy knowing your home has been constructed with you in mind.
