Heartland has a good team overall. From home selection, design phase, interior selections, home property layout and finally warranty, Heartland fit the bill they promoted themselves as. I believe our overall experience would of been completely ideal with some improvements from the project management side of things.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Overall, we loved the design and build process Heartland has created! We liked being able to help create the drawing of our house and use the design studio to pick our finishes - while being able to purchase items on our own (like lighting). We LOVED being able to see the cost of our home before anything began, so it wasn't this black hole of not knowing what to expect money wise. We also really appreciated being given a definitive move it date.

Co-Construct SAC

Co-Construct SAC - Good tool and helpful.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Thank you for building our forever home!

I would recommend them to a friend or neighbor, because I believe their focus is still on the customer, unlike so many builders who are merely thinking of the next job.

Everyone has been great to work with and there has not been any surprises in the project so far (though excavation).

My wife and I were very pleased with the home that Heartland created for us. After a year, we are still loving our home and the support that heartland offers to us.

Additional Comments

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied and happy with our home.

I have made three recommendations so far.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - We just started construction, but through the design phase, Heartland, Rich, Cindy and Steve were very helpful. The use of the architect in the 3D design modeling, was very beneficial. Rich is extremely knowledgeable working with the chief architect, as we sat and looked at the 3D images, and decided what we wanted to do. It was easy to make a change, and visually see the change to see if they is want we wanted.

Recognized Excellence

Areas Of Satisfaction

Sales Attentiveness

Sales Attentiveness - We always feel like Rich cares about our home and the team spirit of the process. We have confidence heading into the construction process now. It feels like things have really come together, and we're excited for next steps!

Value

Value - We feel like we've made a good investment in our home by working with Heartland. The care of construction and quality of materials means a lot. Additionally, our situation ended up requiring a lot of iteration, and our plan had to evolve significantly late in the process due to factors beyond our control. Rich was very generous and supportive as this unfolded. We ended up with a stronger plan for an even better value overall, which is a big credit to Rich's commitment to us and our home. We don't want to take this for granted... many of our friends and family have built homes, and it seems like it's a rare builder who would respond with that kind of generosity and patience.

Co-Construct SAC

Co-Construct SAC - Love the transparency of seeing everything, learning about the different aspects of our build, and being able to choose even the most specific of selections... it was a lot to take in, but when we had to adjust our budget in the 11th hour, Co-Construct was essential. We knew exactly where to look to save money and could focus on line items here and there, rather than feeling like the budget was a "black box."

Likely To Recommend

Likely To Recommend - A neighbor down the road stopped by to ask about our builder and we highly recommended Heartland Builders to them. Unfortunately, they decided to do a major remodel rather than a rebuild and after looking at your website decided that you were too "upscale" for them. (I think that's a good thing! I also told them that I didn't think you did remodels.)

Every single person on the team has been amazing to work with. We can't wait to see our finished house and we are so thankful for Heartland Builders!

Warranty

Warranty - Heartland has been hounding us to resolve warranty issues instead of the other way around. They actually reached out to us every three months to remind us to update warranty issues with the house and to do a walk through to see any problems we had.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Now that our house is built and the warranty period is over we are kind of sad that the process if over. Heartland is a fantastic company to do business with. Usually when you see a perfect score for a survey like this it means the individual didn't think much about the questions. I thought long and hard about each question to identify an opportunity for Heartland to improve. I couldn't think of one. They truly were a pleasure to work with, without a single exception.

Any Changes? - Nothing it is exactly what we wanted.

Suggestion

They are so customer focused and always positive - always willing to answer questions, meet us at the property, and make as many revisions as we've requested. This team has an amazing customer service culture that is truly based in a desire to provide the customer with the best building experience possible. It's obvious... they love what they do.
