Even though most of us have not built a home ourselves, we have an idea that
it’s not a simple task. When investing so much in a new home purchase, it pays
to be kept in the construction loop. And while some builders might provide one
sheet of paper that relates to the process, Losani Homes has a more
comprehensive approach.
Fred Losani, CEO of Losani homes believes such limited information “does a
disservice to the complexity of the building of a home and communicating what
it is that goes into it”. His company provided buyers with a Q-Smart booklet to
keep them informed. The “Q” stands for quality as it relates to the various
features of the home.
The booklet describes how energy efficiency is incorporated into Losani Homes,
the type of products used and the company’s “green program”. The builder emphasizes
that his company not only incorporates environmentally friendly products into
the homes, it also runs its building sites with a green sensibility.
Being “Q” or “quality” smart extends to smart technology and smart comfort as
well says Losani. The booklets also explain “what we are doing to make the home
healthier for you as well”.
“People want to know and we want people to know. It’s a great story,” says
Losani of the home building process and its intricacies.
“If a builder is not building a very good home maybe he doesn’t want to let you
know,” he adds.
Losani wants buyers to know about every aspect of construction right down to
the fact that they use three hinges on doors instead of two. Cabinetry is built
with three-quarter-inch wood which is glued and doweled to make joints extra
sturdy. Interiors will soon be maple instead of melamine. A long-standing relationship
with trades allows such changes to be made and ensures quality work. Losani has
been using the same cabinet manufacturer for 33 years and has refined
construction methods along the way.
“We’re really proud of our construction process,” the builder admits.
The goal of the Q-Smart booklet is to make it easy for buyers to understand the
process. As a communication tool, it features plenty of illustrations. To flip
