We have been in our Oasis home for 6 months now. I first have to say, we love our home. As with any build, there will be issues and our build was no different.
We built on vacant land. This caused several unforeseen issues and cost over runs. Our design process was longer than most due mainly to our decision to significantly change our design and virtually start over; but weather and crew availability played their parts as well. Kevin Collins gave an immense amount of time to us in the design of our home. We were able to customize the design and plan out the home the way we wanted, which we love. Kevin's added touches to the design and his suggestions of certain materials used was very much appreciated.
We did not shop around, nor did we compare pricing for the same size/type of home. Our costs: build, site prep, infrastructure, etc. came out to about $185/sq. ft. Again, this was a custom home on a vacant lot. I'm sure other builders can pass on cost savings in a subdivision, but when you choose all materials used for just your build, it gets more expensive.
There were many contractors hired by Oasis to assist with finishing our home. Some were excellent, some were not. Again Kevin addressed our issues and tried his best to make things right; even coming over himself to fix items. This home is our third new home (two manufactured, one stick built) and our first with Oasis . Far and away, this is the best built home out of the three. So far, the "nuts and bolts" of the home are very satisfying. Now that we are in the home, the few issues that have come to light have been handled with great professionalism by Jennifer Scheff. We appreciate Jenn's communication and her attention.
No big project like this will go completely smooth, but Kevin's willingness to work with us and address any issues that did come up created a lasting relationship with our family. Thank you, Kevin.
