Do yourself a favour and stay away...Turn around...run the other way! DO NOT BUY FROM MATTAMY!
Here is the thing. Yes you agree to purchase a home from Mattamy, in doing so, you are hiring them to become your General Contractor (GC) of sorts. Yes not as as a custom home builder, but as a "Group buy" home builder, so you might say you are getting a discounted rate on the GC fee. As such, you allow your GC some liberty as to whom they chose to hire and what materials to use to meet construction deadlines and work within your budget.
The people that are direct hires for Mattamy seem to be empathetic enough to our needs, however the trades they hire and the quality of materials used are substandard. They obviously don't know what they are doing and do not know how to supervise to ensure the work is being performed to meet building codes.
You are forced to move into unfinished homes, deal with trades that don't show up to do repairs, accused of damaging stuff yourself...they just don't care!
This wasn't our first builder home, however it was our first Mattamy, and we must say, NEVER will be buy Mattamy ever again!
