lies are so busy with their lives that when it comes to building a home, they can’t afford to spend three months running around looking at samples and picking out products.” And it’s not just about what’s on the outside that counts. Proving there’s much more to a home than interior design and façade, a variety of furnaces, plumbing options, trusses and insulation have stations that provide visual samples and additional information to address concerns such as efficiency, safety and sustainability.
“Our goal is to give customers one convenient place where they can touch, assemble and envision the products available when building their new home. Dean Muell, Builder/New Home Sales Ronning Homes and Neighborhoods. Often, the biggest concern for buyers looking to build is budget. “Our stations are not only set up to educate homebuyers and help them envision their selection,” Assistant CFO of Ronning Homes Kristofer Ronning said. “We also provide base pricing and upgrades, which helps them prioritize their selections.” In the end, buyers can make informed decisions to achieve their dream home that’s within the realms of their budget. “We feel that our gallery takes the guesswork out of selecting products, which in the end saves time, money and alleviates stress,” Muell said. In addition to working their way through the stations, customers are also given proper paperwork to record their choices and keep their decisions organized. “Our gallery features about 80 percent of the most popular trends and designs. If a customer falls in the remaining 20 percent, we also assist in helping put together more custom options such as intricate tile and faux finishing techniques,” Muell said. Sample rooms featuring popular yet trendy looks have even been constructed to demonstrate how the products all come together, giving customers the confidence to make choices they otherwise would have been hesitant to make. Customers will also have the ability to view home plans on a large television screen. The Selections Gallery features a 50-inch plasma screen with PenTouch touchscreen technology where customers can alter their favorite plans. “It gives them a visualization that’s totally customizable and interactive,” Muell said. “They can zoom in and out and even draw on the screen.” Don’t let the stress and uncertainty of building be drawbacks for new home construction. With the help of technology and interactive design stations, building your dream home can be a walk in the...gallery. SFW
