It might be nice to have them all out of a design center so that you can put it all together and see things at one time and not have to rely on memory or photos that might not be so accurate.

The standards of the lighting package should be updated to more current styles
The standard kitchen sink with the executive package is still very basic small sink should be a updated to to bigger more current style one especially for executive kitchen package.

It is a tight timescale for people to get to all the suppliers in the allotted period of time. Especially given most don't open weekends or evenings. I appreciate building a home is a big commitment but most of us have jobs to pay for this. Luckily we were able to do it but not without some tough scheduling moves. Other builders have a one stop shop, although I do like seeing the suppliers direct as this enables follow up years later if need be,

Nothing, when we requested some changes be made and the basement be constructed, Sarah and Tate, and the Sterling Team made sure they could get it coordinated for us, in time to move out of our rental. All the necessary changes and construction to the interior will be done for us.

The sales process was straight forward, but would like to have all documents available online for easy reference. It would also be helpful to have a quick way to know what stage the house is at, ie: foundation, framing and drywall, paint and cabinets. If there is a way to make this information available online for the owner to log in to.

Our sales person was transferred to another office towards the later part of our house being completed and that greatly affected everything as the assistant Heather that handled our file was completely the opposite of Sara.
We also noticed that there were so many things that we would have added to our house but didn't because no body informed us of their importance unless we made a request for it which for sure was anything we had knowledge of. It would be nice if customers could be told of all the upgrades that would benefit them by the construction specialist maybe cos I see that the sales persons don't know it all, then the customers can make informed decision on which changes and upgrades to make not just based on how much extra they have to pay but on the benefits that they stand to get on the long run from doing that upgrade.

The lighting company did not have as large a selection as some stores. The displays were very crowded making it difficult to see the options. Other than that all suppliers were very knowledgeable and helpful. I especially want to comment on Shilo from the Sterling show home. She is amazing. Continually coming up with suggestions and alternatives to make my home better. She gets to know her clients likes and dislikes. Don't think I would have managed this very well on my own, I'm very thankful for her.

This has been a very satisfactory experience for me, quite unlike the warranty items from the house that I built with another builder 15 years ago. I found Stacey and Shawn to be incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and thorough in completing the few tasks that needed attention. I think what blew me away was at the end of the last work day, I was invited to call if I had any concerns or questions. If the goal was to meet and exceed client expectations, they have and then some. Would I build again with Sterling/Pacesetter, absolutely!!!

I would not change anything really. Both Sarah and Heather have been wonderful to deal with. They have been extremely helpful, responsive and supportive throughout this experience. Our first walk through with Graham was also great as he explained everything in great detail about our home and took the time to answer questions, so all in all it has been a fantastic experience so far!! Would and have recommended friends check out the show homes and meet your wonderful sales team and will continue to do so!

Great experience, the only thing that would have made things better would have been if the parking pad and grading had been done prior to possession and if a timeline would be given for these items more specific then within the next couple weeks. I understand that outside trades are able to show up, but it would be nice to have some type of notice when they are coming.

Very happy. Would not hesitate to buy or recommend Sterling.

Warranty team is great and responsive. Rick was very thorough during the 1 month check up, and took his time explaining everything and going over all items.
Tricia is quick to respond to any concerns and Shane was great with dealing with any deficiencies prior to possession.

The sales Team, Ashely, Tate and Edrick were great to deal with and responded to all inquiries in a professional and timely manner. Made the experience very enjoyable and effortless.

"The property management company - Peka?

Their first communication with us was to say we are overdue on our condo fees. Did not receive an info package from them, have no idea what services they are supposed to be providing, no idea of the status of the operating budget..Over / under ? I know that this is outside of Sterlings operations but possibly a nudge by Sterling to have them be more customer centric like Sterling would go a long way. Have a Merry Christmas Sterling folks - we love our house."

The sales and show home people were really nice. The home and show home construction was nicely done. The site builder was a nice guy who gave us some good tips and helped us out. The look of the house turned out really nice, minor repairs needed. Overall I wouldn't mind going back to them but if they could fix the issues I had with this home it would greatly help them in the long run. Better communication and standardizing would be great.
