I have made three recommendations so far.

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

I would like to recognize Steve Van Viltd (?). He did a phenomenal job working through some of the issues. He was very technical and worked through some complex issues to get resolutions.

Change Order Process

Easy process to understand and execute.

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

Good tool and helpful.

The entire team for sure! However, we must single out Ethen Weaver who has been our primary source for our periodic warranty visits and follow-up. He communicates extremely effectively, is flexible when necessary and is such a pleasure to work with.

Suggestion

Keep doing what you are doing...we are so blessed to have our forever home built in a manner that met or exceeded each of our expectations. Our nest may be empty now, but our new house naturally became our family home and we have no doubt that it will always be a special place for our boys to return.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Heartland walked up through the whole processes and set the expectations. They exceeded our expectations by far.

All the team at Heartland are amazing but Ethan stands out.

Interior Designer Recommendations

I would like to get her a 5 rating.

Additional Comments

Heartland made the process easier than expected. We have never built a home before and with their tools and expertise it was a great experience.

Budget

We knew the budget and kept on track through the process.

Change Order Process

With the design guidance we had, we had very few change orders in our build process.

Co-Construct

It is a very efficient process to manage the communication between builder and us.

The contractors did an excellent job with the house.

Recognized Excellence

I just had a wonderful experience with everyone. Ethan, in warranty, and Nathan, project manager, provided exceptional service.

Areas Of Satisfaction

I was most satisfied with the quality of construction.

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

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

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."

Additional Comments

Many thanks for all the hard work to get us here!

Co-Construct SAC

We really liked Co-Construct and we thought it was a great tool.

Additional Comments

Areas Of Satisfaction

Good customer service, high overall quality and value.

Additional Comments

Thank you for building our home. We love it!

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.)

Easier Than Expected

Overall, yes!

Subcontractor Concerns

No, they were all great.

Co-Construct SAC

It was nice to be able to see all the options and prices at our leasure. The software is very user friendly.

Suggestion

Keep up the good work!

Areas Of Satisfaction

The truly collaborative nature of all staff. Everyone sought to work together to brainstorm, problem-solve, or negotiate. The collaborative approach made for a product that was better than any one person could have accomplished on their own.

Suggestion

Just keep being you!

Areas Of Satisfaction

A large reason we chose Heartland Builders is because of their process. Everything has been clear to us since Day 1.

Professional & Organized

Every single person we have worked with has been extremely organized and professional!

Additional Comments

We have been so happy with Heartland Builders. Everyone told us how stressful building a house is, but we have not felt any stress because the team is so organized and helpful. 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

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

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

Heartland Builders did a phenomenal job so happy we picked you.

Co-Construct SAC

This is a fantastic tool for ensuring great communication during the pre-construction process. We loved the detail - specifically around decisions, costs and product choices. Its great for tracking decision-making over many months, rather than depending on emails and memory.

Additional Comments

Heartland builders has gone above and beyond the standard customer/builder relationship. 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.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Everything. The quality, timeliness, communication, workmanship.

Interior Designer Benefit

Even though I didn't use Lisa as much as a typical client, I really appreciated her knowledge of materials that were new to me and responsiveness when I had questions. We also love the sheep art that she staged in the home! She always has a great attitude and is very organized.

Areas For Improvement

Overall we are extremely happy and have recommended Heartland to friends already.

Areas Of Satisfaction

I appreciated the flexibility of working with my designs and allowing me to use my own sources when desired. All of the staff was wonderful and made the experience very positive. Everyone on staff was very responsive to our needs and questions. It all felt very organized and we are confident that our home is very solidly built due to the competence of the subcontractors.

Co-Construct SAC

I loved co-construct as it made the budgeting so much easier.

PM Communication

Dale was great and we really appreciated everything he did to make the process run smoothly. I felt that he was very responsive to all of our concerns and worked to make us happy.

Everyone at Heartland was wonderful to work with. From our first meeting with Rich, we felt comfortable that he and his team were the right fit for us. We were never disappointed with any of the Heartland employees who worked on our home and truly felt that we were part of a team.

Additional Comments

I would (and have) highly recommend Heartland Builders to anyone who is building a home. I really do love how the Co-construct process let us make choices that fit our budget and design preferences...and I could make these choices at any time that was convenient for me! Throughout the entire process, I always felt that the Heartland team truly cared about making our house the way we wanted it to be. When things went wrong, they graciously fixed it without making it our problem. Heartland took so much stress out of the building process. Our experience has been so positive that I would definitely choose Heartland to build any future homes.
