My husband and I have followed this builder for many years and attended the majority of their entries in Parade of Homes. This is why we chose Koinonia to build our forever home and we could not be more pleased. The process was fun and exciting. Paul McDonald is a talented architect who brings your dreams into reality. The people he has working for him are professional and personable. I would highly recommend Koinonia Architects and Builders to anyone looking to build a new home.

Their prices are good, but, as we know, you get what you pay for. I had them do the drawings for a…read morehouse that I designed, and this, unfortunately, was a mistake. I had to go back at least 10 times to have changes made. Although some were my changes, most were errors in the drawings. In the end my framer couldn't work effectively withe the drawings, and I have had to get several of them redone. Ron Montoya called my framer an idiot, but as a designer I know a good set of drawings from a poor one, and these were of very low quality. They also do not look at your design when they put in details, but just grab standard details from their catalogue which, in many cases, have nothing to do with my design. The whole process took much longer than it should have and put us behind schedule.

We went to Ron Montoya Designs with high hopes of a home design that would fit our needs. We met…read morewith Ron and gave him a list of wishes. He designed a floor plan that met most of our wishes, yet needed some tweaking. Ron then passed us off to an assistant that worked with us to come up with a workable floor plan. Ron then completed the elevation, the framing, concrete, and electrical plans. HOWEVER, Ron failed to communicate or even look at the final version of the floor plan his assistant worked on with us. Therefore, there were many inconsistencies in the plan that cost us and our builder THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. Ron never admitted fault. STAY AWAY from Ron Montoya Designs.

I have never done ANYTHING like this before, so I started to look around for suggestions as to contractors, architects, etc. I looked at the websites of local architects and came out to Albuquerque to meet them. My first meeting was with Mr. Siegel. He was very patient and I hope he realized that he had bunch of novices in his office. There were several "deer in the headlights" moments. We discussed what we wanted and after several drawings, settled on the ideal house. We are now 7 months into construction. He has been incredibly helpful and patient with all of the steps. He suggested a contractor who is very talented and we are actually ahead of schedule. Jonathan has made many suggestions and provided options that made our house unique. I can't believe how fortunate I was to meet with him first as I did not need to meet with the other architects. I could tell that he understood what we wanted and we are close to finishing a dream project. I can't recommend him more highly.

One of the floor boards from the start has a dimple protruding from the substrate later showing through the pattern and wear layer. It has been acknowledged as a defect by the builder attempting to repair by sanding and covering with a non-matching coat of poly. The defective board is in a high traffic area and the builder refuses to replace the board, which is what is recommended by two contractors familiar with this flooring work. This is the most egregious one of several other issues which cannot get settled after 15 months of conversations. Buyer beware do your homework!
