COMMUNICATION.
Every custom home built by SunWest Residential is assigned a client care coordinator that acts as your communication liaison throughout the building process. During construction, every project is assigned a production manager, a pricing/supply coordinator, design consultant, and quality control supervisor.
TECHNOLOGY.
Each team member of SunWest Residential is equipped with mobile communication and scheduling software designed to assist clients throughout the building process in a real-time environment. By leveraging this technology, it provides cost savings measures that increases productivity and allows our production staff more one-on-one time, focused on our clients’ needs.
QUALITY STANDARDS.
SunWest Residential believes in cost saving measures through design. We will not use inferior materials or subcontractors that do not meet our high-quality standards. At SunWest Residential, we will only utilize the finest subcontracted vendors focused on exceeding our expectations for quality and service.
PROFESSIONAL TRADESMEN.
During the design phase when building a SunWest Residential home, you will have full access to our architect/engineer, and multiple finish vendors. There will also be regular meetings throughout the process to ensure proper communication and production timelines exceed your expectations.
EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS.
SunWest Residential makes certain that even after you take possession, we stand behind our product. That is why we have the best-in-class warranty in the industry. For up to five years on structural and mechanical coverage after possession, your piece of mind is our priority.
