Our services are tailored to your needs
There are many name brand home package providers on the market.
Here is some of the language they use to describe their products.
Panelized or Prefab Homes
This type of home consists of pre-built wall sections. Panels are manufactured in factories and then delivered on site by trucks. Framers will charge you more money as they often require a crane to handle the heavy wall sections.
Modular Homes
These homes are built in one or more modules in factories and transported to the job site by very expensive trucks and escorts. A large crane is required on the job site to handle the modules to be installed on the foundation. You are responsible for the foundation.
Home Package
A package-kit consists of the building materials required to build your new home. They are usually “spec” designs and include the shell only – frame, windows, doors and roof. Your framer‐builder must then work on site to create the structure with these materials.
Why is a Paragon Package a Better Value for You?
No Middlemen
Paragon deals directly with material providers and does not pay middlemen or sales reps.
No Franchise Fees
Paragon is a wholly owned entity. It does not pay franchise fees or overrides to a Headquarters or home office.
No Double Markups
With many kit companies, the main office marks up the product, and the local office or franchisee marks it up additionally, which is a reason why their kits are so overpriced.
Real Subject Matter Expertise
Not only do we sell home packages, we build them. We know what we are selling and how to build a home right.
No Pressure or Hard Sell Tactics
Most kit resellers are commissioned agents whose sole purpose is to get the sale in order to make money. We are constantly approached by clients complaining of the high pressure sales tactics used by many home package companies
No Bad Materials
Kit resellers are on the lookout for the best material deals – not so they can save you money, but so they can make more money. We do not skimp on materials quality, and our kit prices always reflect the actual cost of materials.
No Bad Information
Many companies have a tendency to downplay, or even conceal the real associated costs of building. Remember that they are not builders but package resellers. It is not to their advantage to reveal the REAL costs of building. And once a kit is sold, actual costs are not their problem – they are yours.
The Design You Want Without Losing The Farm
Another tactic used by kit home resellers is to charge you exorbitant fees if you modify one of their plans or ask for a complete custom design, with the promise of crediting you when you buy a kit. This tactic “locks you in”. We pride ourselves in offering complete design services at realistic rates – whether its our plans, yours or from scratch.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are your home building kits different from others on the market?
The majority of home building kits are sold by resellers who prioritize profit margins over the quality of the building. Our kits are carefully planned and provided by real project managers, using materials we know and trust ourselves. That means you get a better long-term result without the compromises often seen in typical prefab homes.
Why do your home building kit prices offer better value?
We do not charge franchise fees or mark up prices twice, unlike many companies that do with home building kits. What you see is what you pay, and the price is based on the cost of the materials, with no hidden fees.
Do you really provide affordable home building kits without cutting corners?
Yes. We offer affordable home building kits without compromising on quality by eliminating middlemen. Most companies promote cheap home building kits, but with inferior products. We use only the finest materials to ensure your home is durable.
How does your approach compare to prefab or modular homes?
Prefab and modular houses are usually expensive to ship and require cranes, and they are not as flexible in design. In comparison, our home building kits process allows you greater flexibility to customize without the hidden expenses of prefabricated models.
What makes your home packages more transparent?
We do not employ high-pressure sales techniques or hide the real costs of construction. Most kit resellers are reluctant to provide real numbers, as they are not project managers themselves. We are project managers, and we provide complete transparency so you know exactly what you’re paying for — something not always offered by companies selling prefabricated homes in Ottawa.
Can I customize my home design without paying huge fees?
Absolutely. Most companies charge high premiums to alter a plan. We offer complete design services at affordable prices, whether you are modifying one of our layouts, using your own, or starting with a blank slate — a big advantage compared to many prefabricated homes in Ottawa.
Why should I trust Paragon instead of another kit company?
We are not just selling kits; we provide full project management. We have decades of construction experience and know what works in the field. That’s why our home building kits consistently deliver better value than what you’d find with standard resellers or even some prefab homes.
