OUR PHILOSOPHY

A German term, Zuhandenheit literally translates to “readiness-to-hand,” It’s the quality of an object that is so perfectly designed, so well suited to our goals, that it becomes a natural part of our everyday life. Raicon builds homes with that same philosophy.

“

Good home design requires a deep understanding of construction materials, building methods, and real human behavior.

– Ranjit Rai

Your home should be a seamless, natural fit to your everyday life. Thoughtful design, luxury upgrades and materials, and quality construction should work together to create an exceptional living space both inside and out. Every detail is carefully considered, from the colour of the eaves troughs, to the flow of the kitchen, to the hidden materials beneath the squeak-resistant floors, all in an effort to create a cohesive, functional and beautiful home.

We’ve thought of everything so you don’t have to.

ELEMENTS OF DESIGN

Inspired by everyday life

We have families too, and we know the impact that a well-designed home can have on daily life. That’s why you’ll ﬁnd dozens of thoughtful upgrades, intuitive touches and impressive construction choices in every Raicon home.

Builders’ Personal Touches

Each Raicon home we build comes with a host of features that go above and beyond normal expectations. The reason is simple: we take pride in our work, and want our customers to have the best. From engineered hardwood low-squeak ﬂoors, to the same appliances we have in our own home, you’ll ﬁnd our personal touches throughout.

Process Driven

When you’ve been building homes as long as we have, you tend to develop processes that ensure an outstanding result. Our two-stage concrete pour and reinforced ﬂooring might take more time, but result in a more stable, better built home.

Unique Inclusion

Stylish custom trusses to add more character to your vaulted ceiling. Gas ranges in the kitchen. Hot water recirculation systems. USB chargers in kitchen and bedroom. Some might call them upgrades. Others, outside of scope. We call them standard.

Noteworthy Elements

Charles Eames once said, “The details are not the details. They make the design.” We couldn’t agree more. It’s the little choices found throughout a Raicon building that can make a house feel more like a home.

Measure twice, cut once. It’s not just a carpenter’s proverb, it’s good advice for evaluating home builders too. We invite you to spend an afternoon comparing our homes to those of our competitors and see how we measure up.

LOOK CLOSER.

From the framing and the flooring, to the kitchen and bathrooms, comparing new homes can be hard work. Now we’ve made it a little easier. Before you go shopping for a new home, download our Look Closer guide and use it to compare Raicon to the competition. You might be surprised.
