Our Homes

There are so many decisions to make when choosing your home. Your home is likely the largest investment you will ever make in your life. Wouldn't it be comforting to know your home was built by honest, caring people who will stand by you (and their workmanship!) through thick and thin?

We invite you to take a tour of our past projects listed in the menu on the right.

The Balandra-built Home Promise

Together with the New Home 2-5-10 Warranty, every Balandra-built home owner receives a special commitment from Balandra. With your Balandra-built home you will also receive:

complete package of your home's unique Specifcations (to help you answer questions like which paint is on what walls, and what's the name of the floor tile in the powder room?)
full Trades list of everyone who lent their skill and craftsmanship to your home
full Suppliers list for the products found in your home
a One-Year Review visit where we will inspect your home and address any issues (nail pops in drywall, settling etc) and perhaps share a cup of coffee with you and your family
a lifetime relationship with Balandra in which we prove our integrity and commitment to you through our actions, instead of the usual (and disappointing) words only
reminders about your home's critical maintenance and helpful home ownership tips

Fully photo-documented build progress log from begining to end of your home's construction.

Silent Flooring

2 x 6

2" x 6" Exterior Walls

Hardy brand high performance exterior siding

Outdoor lounge with gas fireplace

Natural Light

Natural light is honoured and maximized.

Exterior surfaces are highest permeabilty possible (gravel and paving stones instead of solid pavement driveways etc)

Recycled

Construction materials are always sorted and recycled instead of the usual dumpster bin to the landfill

Before insulation every nook, cranny and wall cavity is carefully vacuumed (walls are full of dust, construction debris and allergens in 'normal' construction practices).

Heritage House

A deep connection to the land and property itself, to the neighbourhood and the community in which the home resides. Balandra homes are planned with thoughtful consideration for the community's sense of heritage, respect for neighbours and the house design itself always reflects these aspects.

High performance double-glazed low-e windows.

We honour and save trees. No trees will be removed for the sake of construction.

Detailed interior wainscotting millwork.

Considerable interior millwork on windows, doors and trims.

Top-calibre, EnerGuide appliance packages.

Water-saving plumbing, appliances and fixtures.

Radiant in-floor heating.

Full opening swing doors on closets instead of bi-folds.

Durable, washable high performance paint.

Deluxe spa atmosphere master ensuite bathrooms.

Deluxe master suite walk-in, tailor-finish closets.

Strategic wiring systems, living room lamp and computer network-ready.

Integrated systems: security, fire, carbon monoxide monitoring.

Earth-friendly pilotless, on-demand gas fireplaces instead of constant (wasteful) burning pilot lights.

the most beautiful house...

There are no words to describe how lucky we think we are to have met you - you built us the most beautiful house, more than we imagined. You treated our house as it was your own and we really appreciate that. We felt comfortable the whole time knowing you were looking out for us.

Thank you so much for all your hard work. We are going to miss seeing you so often (so is Jesse). Best of luck on your upcoming projects.
