    Brookfield Residential - Half the windows had major scratches

    Very good builder and I am the happiest customer , we had a great experience with the management…read moreand construction department and the services are good

    We purchased a home in Dublin, CA in 2021 from Brookfield. The post closing experience was a year…read morelong nightmare due to numerous quality control issues. In our post closing experience we had filed some 50-60 tickets for issues. After two years of ownership, we got most of our issues addressed, but it was a long fight and it left a very sour taste in our mouths. Overall the home is quite beautiful but the failure was in the execution, hence why I'm giving two stars instead of one. For comparison, my family and my parents have lived in a number of new construction homes over the last 20 years. I have a lot to compare with and have seen what is a reasonable standard. This builder is using lowest level talent in trades. We had several big ticket issues which required large fixes. We had an incorrectly installed electrical option which took 6 visits to correct. Two of the visits resulted in electrical code violations. Brookfield was trying to save effort and deliberately wired our outlet incorrectly because it was a cheap way to solve the issue but the fix was unsafe and illegal. We got the city involved. Our wood flooring was installed unlevel due to poor subfloor preparation. The spec for new floor installation from the manufacturer is pretty stringent -- no more than 1/4 inch deviation over 10 feet -- and surely we had several large humps across our wood floor. This was a two week project where we were moved to a hotel and our furniture was moved out of the home. Funny enough, during the repair, the tradesmen made the same mistake again in the subfloor preparation but luckily I was able to catch it before they installed the wood floor. We chose to stay home for the second week as I had to make sure I was personally inspecting the work every day else we'd risk having to have the floor ripped up again. Over half of the windows had substantial scratches in them. These are scratches deep enough where you can feel it when you run your fingernail over them. Brookfield of course tried to tell us that you have to be able to see the scratch from 11 ft away before they can replace it. I don't know how the bar got this low in quality standards, but a visible scratch of any kind is unacceptable. I don't know what the problem is, the builder hiring amateur cleaners or Milgard the window vendor's incompetence, needless to say this was a ridiculous argument. Through a lot of persistence we managed to get all of them replaced. Interior doors were all incorrectly installed. Through the manufacturer they state that the jambs on the doors must be trimmed to place the door at the correct height above the flooring. The tradesmen who installed all of the doors ignored this step which resulted in all doors being 1-1.5 inches above the finished flooring. This is large enough to stick your toes under the door to the other side and has consequences for noise, light and privacy. In addition the doors were not shimmed properly to create the correct gaps between the doors and the jambs. At night when a door is closed but a hallway light is on, you see light blaring through the cracks lighting up your whole room. In addition some doors were so poorly installed you could pull the door past the stop. This was a big fight. And of course, the fix was a solid B- work, although the main issue is repaired, you can see the scarring of retroactive work. There are also numerous technical issues with the design, specifically around HVAC. It seems that many modern builds are incorrectly sizing systems and this is no exception. This home included a Mitsubishi Electric VRF system with 8 heads. Although the system is quite nice and very advanced, it has a large learning curve and has a lot of incorrect setup. Ultimatley though, I believe the system is not properly sized for the home. The 8 interior heads leverage a single large 60k BTU condenser. The system cannot ramp down enough to serve one head and results in over heating/cooling. This required a lot of in depth research in my part to modify the system to perform properly but I worry about its longevity. Out of box the system was delivered in such a way that led to significant over heating/cooling in many of the smaller rooms (+/- 6 degrees). Imagine a baby room that's supposed to be 72 but is heated to 78+. We did get a lot of fixes done. However this was not without a year of blood, sweat, and tears. The builder will drag their feet, take weeks to respond to you, keep stringing you along months at a time, and sometimes walk back and say they won't do something anymore. They will gaslight you and tell you that your issue is normal, standard, or otherwise to get you to back down. On multiple occasions this required escalation to the VP of construction to re-explain our case. Over the year our context was lost because our warranty reps kept quitting. This is the state of new construction in 2020+. They know homes are in demand in CA and assume you will just take whatever you can get.

Have you ever been to an upscale apartment complex when they have about 10 vacant units? These people were employing the same sort of tactics. I guess it's difficult to sell something for way more than it's worth. When we asked to see one of the smaller models, the agent actually looked at my husband and said, "What? Is it just price?" No...it's not just price, it's price/value. Also, I don't think you need to try to make me feel bad about asking to see something that cost $600K. Could it be that we don't understand why anybody would want 4.5 bathrooms in a 3 bedroom house and didn't think that $900k was a dream bargain for that? I have to give them an extra star for green certification...and a few of the models did have kitchens that were pretty breathtaking. I think if I did own one of those town homes I would just sit in the kitchen all of the time and never leave. Judging from their website, that seems to be something they're quite fond of. They're also quite fond of wood chips...which I hate. Please just let me do what I want with my 2x2 patch of dirt. Also, in a period of economic downswing with a crappy housing market...you're going to have to work harder for my money than that.

    I hired Prime to renovate my kitchen - countertops, backsplash, cabinets, electrical, freezer, etc…read more They also helped install a new bidet toilet for me. Overall the experience was very good; Elijah and Bryan were super friendly and responsive. Eli was very patient and accommodating as we discussed several different potential change orders, from new windows to painting, to other misc. things that popped up. Bryan Luna was especially a pleasure to work with. His attention to detail and proactivity to solve any little thing I mentioned was definitely the highlight of working with Prime. Their contracted electrician, Hector, was great as well. I also think they did a great job building out a cabinet to fit our freezer next to the matching fridge. Their master carpenter managed to salvage our existing wood to make it match perfectly. Definitely better than what I'd expect from even a carpentry specialty contractor. I will mention that it wasn't without some snags. Prime deals in volume so they're very busy. I think because I had delays in sourcing a freezer I ended up not getting a dedicated project manager for some time. We had timeline issues made worse with holidays. This caused cascading delays which inevitably pushed back my move in date a few weeks. When I finally did get a new project manager, they ghosted me (later on I found out they had a family emergency). Eli had to step in again to help. Another thing is that their pricing is quite opaque. The estimate will break down prices by milestones, but they repeated told me that it's not a valuation of the milestone itself. This made it nigh impossible to understand if I wanted to contract out specific pieces of the project (e.g. flooring). Design was OK. I felt that the designer was very busy. Sometimes very responsive (5min replies), sometimes not responsive at all (no reply). I wish I had a better, more thorough back-and-forth session about the intricacies of the design. But we made do. Ultimately, the designer made a render and helped point us to some vendors, but from there we had to make our own selection alone (cabinets, handles, pendant lights, faucets, etc.). I did appreciate her presence when we picked out countertops, though. All in all, I think this was a 4.5 star job, but I'm rounding to 5 because of Eli and Bryan :)

    We contracted Prime Design & Build to remodel two bathrooms, a laundry room, a staircase, and to…read moreinstall hardwood flooring. Overall, the project went well, and we're happy with the final results. Bryan, our foreman, was a strong asset to the project. Even though he was managing multiple jobs at the same time, his responsiveness and willingness to go out of his way to address our concerns made a big difference. Because we were home throughout the process, we were able to catch issues early and communicate them directly to Bryan, who consistently followed through to resolve them. What Went Well: * The tile and flooring subcontractors were excellent - their craftsmanship and attention to detail truly stood out. * Bryan, our foreman, was responsive to texts and phone calls, listened to our concerns, and made sure they were addressed. He even designed a bi-fold closet door for us, and helped pick up all the material to build it. * Bryan also took the initiative to handle several unfinished items himself, which we really appreciated. * The post-build cleaners were top-notch and left the space in pristine condition. * Throughout the project, everyone we interacted with was professional, courteous, and conscientious. There were no conflicts or issues, which made the experience comfortable for us. Areas for Improvement: * The timeline was a pain point. While we were originally told the project would take 6-8 weeks, it ended up stretching to 12 weeks. * The design process fell short of expectations. Because Prime's in-house designers weren't available, our design work was outsourced. We only received a full design package for the master bathroom. As a result, we ended up creating our own renderings for the other rooms to help communicate our vision to the team. That said, we were very happy with the design and material selections for the master bathroom they did complete. We just wish the same level of attention and design support had been provided for the rest of the project. * At times, resource availability was limited, likely due to workers being assigned to multiple jobs. This led to workflow inefficiencies and delays. Toward the end of our renovation, our foreman Bryan had to personally step in to complete several tasks, such as installing faucets, shelving, and baseboards. He managed to get it done in between site visits and meetings, which we appreciated, but it also highlighted a lack of available crew to close out the project. Despite these few challenges, the quality of the work met our expectations. We appreciated the team's effort and the final outcome.

Our home renovation…read morehad turned into a nightmare -- our previous contractor left our house completely gutted, uninhabitable, and in total disarray. We had lost money, time, and hope. Then, out of nowhere, we came across Chris, and from the very first conversation, he showed compassion, honesty, and genuine care. He couldn't believe what had happened to us and made it his mission to help us get our home and our peace of mind back. Chris and his crew started immediately and went above and beyond in every possible way. Since we were living in the home during construction, he built us a makeshift kitchen, secured areas without windows, and made sure we were comfortable and safe while the remodel was underway. His workmanship and attention to detail were outstanding -- he not only fulfilled our plans but added thoughtful extras, like a beautiful half bath we hadn't even imagined could fit. He stayed within our budget, communicated clearly, and treated our home as if it were his own. Beyond his skill as a contractor, Chris is an exceptional interior designer. His vision and creativity transformed our space into something truly stunning. His team was professional, respectful, and a pleasure to have around every day. After such a terrible experience before, finding Chris felt like a miracle. We can't recommend him and his company highly enough -- they didn't just rebuild our house, they restored our trust and made it a home again.
