Welcome to Fairlawn Park

Here is a picture of the first house in the subdivision (lot 1) located on the corner of Fairlawn Road and Telephone Road on the northwest edge of Trenton. On upcoming posts we'll take you inside and show you some pictures of the construction process beginning with the excavation on June 6th, 2011.

Our favourite suppliers

With about 150 people from 25 different suppliers on site at some point during construction we hesitate to single any out. However we would like to mention Home Hardware (Trenton) and Cooney Excavating Limited as being among our favourites for consistently excellent service.

If you happen to see a supplier's vehicle or sign on our site, or mentioned on this website, you can be sure they are among the very best in their category.

Tired of houses that all look just the same?

We can't say it any better than this ...

Testimonial

record low interest rates

Each tenth of one per cent you can lower your mortgage interest rate will save you $1000 on a five year term, and interest rates are near their historic lows.

Lot 1,  "the Hudson"  is a custom designed 1775 sq.ft raised bungalow with a two car garage. It features a very large open concept kitchen, living room, and dining room area.

Kitchens

We work with David Courtney - a noted Toronto kitchen designer - see http://www.kitchencourt.com/ .  Kitchen Court has an outstanding reputation for design excellence and installation quality. By working with the best you can be sure to get  a kitchen that is both functional and beautiful.

The kitchen in this model features a quartz countertop with many built in features.

Framing

We often hear "I wish we had done that at the time" from visitors who are current homeowners.  A lot of the items they are referring to are the result of choices made at the foundation and framing stage. Faced with a choice, we always choose in favour of long term homeowner value - especially on things that are difficult to change or upgrade in the future.Two examples are ceiling heights and insulation.

We also like our structures to be extremely solid - the home on the street you want to be in if severe weather should strike.

For this reason we use an Ottawa snow load on our engineered roof trusses, our walls use 2x6 plus wood sheathing. Our floors are supported by TrussJoist beams at well under maximun span. Our floors are 3/4 inch plywood and not OSB.

We also use real 3-1/2 inch Ardox hand-driven  steel nails on most structural elements, not just airnails. We just hope you never want to take one of our structural walls apart - because it won't be easy.
