Homes By Avi Inc.

I bought a stunning condo with Avi Urban this year, and the sales people were wonderful. They were very friendly and helpful, and were able to answer all of my questions. The place is perfect, it has amazing use of space and all of the finishings are beautiful. I couldn't be happier with my place!

We bought a 3bd 2.5bth townhome through Homes by Avi after visiting their showhomes in Walker Lakes in Edmonton. The sales staff were all very knowledgeable and friendly, and made the purchase process a breeze for us first time buyers. The build time (slab was already in the ground for our building) was almost exactly on schedule with their estimates, and there were no major delays of any kind. They were very communicative throughout the build, and kept us up to date via email. They also have an online portal where you can check the basic status of your build at any time and access the documents, plans etc. Inspections were on time and the company rep was very knowledgeable. The possession date also went very smoothly and the welcome gifts were a wonderful added touch. The overall craftsmanship of our home exceeded our expectations, down to little touches like flush-mount solid wood vents that match our flooring (something other builders would likely make an upgrade). The only mistake during construction was in our favour when they delivered stainless steel appliances rather than our chosen black appliances. They allowed us to keep the stainless without paying the upgrade cost difference rather than risk damage moving them in and out again. 5 years in, I can say we are still very happy with the quality and construction of our home, and would recommend Avi to anyone looking for a new home.

Excellent quality home. My home is beautiful! Im amazed how smoothly everything went. It was great value. Just so happy! The sales team was nice to deal with. The construction team were so good at catching everything. And warranty has been so friendly!

BUYER BEWARE!!! terrible costumer service to go along with terrible workman ship. Have had nothing but problems with them since the day we moved in. Have tried everything and now going to lawyers. Would never even think of using Homes By Avi on our next build. How this builder won awards it's really beyond me. Must be paying someone big money to get those!

The worst house buying experience I have ever had. This is my second home but first from this very poor company. I was not told the truth to from the start. The start is so long of the horror that went along with this purchase that I feel there is not enough room to write it all. The issues was from misleading how the home was to be built to using my power after I took possession to build my garage to waiting almost 2 years after possession without informing me that the garage still needed a final inspection on the electrical. Which I found out from the City of Calgary. This was an intern home that i was to live in for 3-5 years which intern I would be converted into a rental property and buy myself a single family home. I will not be buying my next home from this company.

Avi Urban a division of Homes by Avi has Veena great company to work with. Not only do they build a great product the staff are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend Avi Urban to anyone who is looking to purchase in a multi family development.

I had a great experience buying my first property with Homes by Avi (to be more specific Avi Urban). We bought it when they were still breaking the ground and from that moment on they kept is informed every step of the way. They are very meticulous and pay a lot of attention to detail. The day of my walk-through I pointed out a few things that I wanted them to change or fix and we moved in it was all fixed. After that we had the 3 months warranty visit and we pointed out two things that were not working properly that we completely missed during our walk-through, and they fixed them the very same day. They followed up with me multiple times, in person and by email. In addition, they were always available to me, I had to contact them a few times with questions and the response time was quick. My wife and I are very happy with Homes by AVI and we even said that 4 years from now we would like to buy a house built by them because we know is good quality.

I purchased my first home 4 years ago. It was a spec home from Homes by Avi. The home looked nice but there are designs that made you scratch your head. For example, in my particular home, there is a 'fake' balcony with no doors accessing to it. You can only access through the window. There are similar designs in the neighbourhood that come with door to balcony. I don't know why they didn't put one in.

Also, there are some blemishes on the counter of the fireplace, which despite trying to fix it up TWICE, it still wasn't done properly. I just gave up in the end as it wasn't worthwhile going after it.

They do not deliver on what they promise at the time of signing:

-A fence was supposed to be installed around the entire property. Avi did not deliver on this, reducing the resale value of some of condominium units, especially those on the ground floor along Silverado Terrace. They were able to squirm their way out of delivering on this because the landscaping plans (preliminary plans) that they gave to the owners were different than the issued for construction drawings submitted to the City of Calgary.

-Avi also promised a reserve fund for the Condo Corporation. However, because Avi made up the members of the Condo Corporation until handover of the property, they promptly 'spent' the reserve fund prior to handover on 'expenses'.

Great team to work with, very helpful when we were in the middle of the negotiation, the area sales management still great with us even after the sale, very knowledgeable construction team as well, everything worked according to plan for the construction of our new home ( first home).
I highly recomend this team to any of my family and friends!!
