About Us
There’s a huge difference between a house and a home. We build exceptional homes, where you build memories. Hi, I’m Daryl Shannon and for well over a decade, Delonix has been building superior homes, focusing first, on our customers’ needs. We are the #1 choice for your new home construction.
OUR STORY
Coming full circle:
In 2008, and after nearly a decade of honing his carpentry craft in Vancouver, we needed a change of pace. So, we headed East to escape the concrete towers and made Saskatoon home for 13 years, building beautiful, local and nationally recognized homes. It’s no surprise that life has come full circle, with a growing family and the call to return home, again we proudly call Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley home. While some of the scenery has changed, it’s not new to us as Daryl grew up in Abbotsford, achieving high honors in competitive swimming with the Chilliwack Spartans. Saskatoon or the Valley, we continue to set the benchmark for new home construction, and amazing customer relationships.
We don’t build cookie-cutter homes
It’s not our focus. Our customers choose Delonix Homes because of the extraordinary focus we provide, making your new home journey, a truly personalized and exciting experience.
It’s what you should expect
We work exceptionally hard to create a memorable home building experience. Not every home is the same, and we love that. We passionately build "Custom homes, custom dreams”.
We take a different approach
We take a different approach with clear objectives: We dont run projects from an office. We are an engaged builder, working hard for your trust, because it’s important to us. We believe trust is lasting, and builds confidence, which is why we have lasting relationships with our customers long after the home has been built.
98% of our customers say we exceeded their expectations
What do you get working with Delonix. Several words are constantly used: trust, quality, easy to work with, professional. But, don’t take our word for it. Check below to hear what just some of our happy home owners say.
THE DELONIX DIFFERENCE
INITIAL CONSULTATION:
Having that initial consultation to discuss your “Dream” is essential: your lifestyle requirements, your family’s wish list, neighbourhoods, and of course, budget and timeline are some of the topics we will cover. At this time, we explain the “Design” process and answer any questions or concerns you may have. Ensure you have been Pre-Approved, so you have the best idea as to what your budget will allow.
DRAFTING & ARCHITECTURAL PLANNING:
It could be Chilliwack, Agassiz, or another location of the Fraser Valley. With the lot details known, we coordinate with our design team, a home that is exactly what you dreamed of and more.
In your consultation this is where our “personalized” build approach starts to come to life. We begin drafting designs,
working closely with you to ensure we fulfill all aspects of your “DREAMS”. At this point an offer to purchase is drafted
and a deposit is given. This shows commitment by both parties.
ESTIMATE & CONTRACT TO PURCHASE:
When you’re 100 % happy with the look and design of your new home, we will provide a detailed construction price,
tailoring the specifications so that everything is precisely as you want it. Allowances will be allotted and specifications
laid out. Our team will be your personal liaison throughout the build. Once the plans have been finalized the remaining
deposit is provided.
BUILDING STANDARDS APPROVAL:
With your design agreed, we take care of all the contract documents and commence by obtaining all the required
permits, architectural requirements and submit the plans to the municipal authority for planning approval.
CONSTRUCTION &; SITE VISITS:
A huge part of the excitement and fun of building a custom home is actually seeing your “Dreams” come to life. Through
the process of building there are several stages where building authorities will inspect the progress. Because your home
is a Holmes Approved Home and will be covered by our Home warranty program, there will be many inspections
completed. We will also be happy to set up arranged site visits so you will be able to view and walk through the home
and see the progress yourself. You’ll have direct access to us throughout the process and we’ll keep you up to date with
our progress, each step of the way so there are no surprises
PERSONALIZE YOUR HOME:
For the most part many of the finishings have been selected by this time, however this is when we turn our attention to
the interior design of your home – this is where the fun really begins and your new custom built home starts taking
shape. We continuously work with you, taking time to explain all of the elements you need to consider – from all the
interior colour selections right down to all of the finishes.
FINISHING & POST PURCHASE:
Construction is often the most exciting aspect of home building and the finishing touches are what brings it all together. However, nothing can trump moving into your new home. Once occupation has been approved and a deficiencies walk through has been completed, we hand over the keys to your new home. This is not where the process wraps up. Post purchase care is huge, and education on the systems of your home is an essential part of the enjoyment and getting the most from your home. We will contact each home owner nearing 1 years time, and complete an additional warranty walk through. Standing behind our product is very important to us. We are confident that our hands-on approach ensures that you have a satisfying home building experience.
CUSTOM HOMES, CUSTOM DREAMS.
YOUR CHOSEN HOME BUILDER
