Buying a home is a significant milestone. It represents an investment in your future and the opportunity to create a space tailored to your dreams and lifestyle. Residential developments come in various options, including socialized, affordable, and medium-cost housing. Within these options, a crucial decision arises: choosing between a fully-finished unit and a bare-finish unit. Understanding the key differences between these two will help you find the perfect fit for your needs and budget.

Fully-Finished Units: Move-In Ready Convenience

Imagine this: you close on your new Pinnacle Homes unit, get the keys, and… you’re practically home free! Our fully-finished units come with all the essentials you need to move right in. Here’s what you can expect:

• Flooring: Smooth ceramic tiles provide a durable and easy-to-clean surface throughout your unit.
• Walls: No need to worry about painting – our units come with a smooth, painted finish, ready for your personal touch with artwork or photos.
• Room Partitions: Interior walls constructed from fiber cement board define the different areas of your home, like bedrooms and living spaces. This eliminates the need for temporary dividers or expensive drywall installations.
• Ceilings: Just like the walls, fully-finished units boast a painted fiber cement board ceiling, creating a clean and finished look.

Benefits of a Fully-Finished Unit:

• Move-in Ready: The biggest advantage? Convenience! With everything already completed, you can avoid the hassle and expense of renovations or construction. Simply unpack your belongings and start making memories!
• Time-Saving: Skip the stress of finding contractors, sourcing materials, and coordinating schedules. Fully-finished units allow you to move in quicker and enjoy your new home sooner.
• Budget Predictability: The upfront cost of a fully-finished unit may be slightly higher, but it provides a clear picture of your initial investment.

Bare-Finish Units: Unleash Your Inner Designer (and Save)

Looking for a blank canvas to create your dream home? Our bare-finish units offer a unique opportunity for complete design freedom. Here’s what you get:

• Flooring: A smooth concrete finish provides a solid base for your future flooring choices. Whether you prefer tiles, wood laminate, or carpet, the bare-finish unit allows you to customize this important aspect.
• Walls: Bare walls await your creative vision. Paint them yourself, add wallpaper, or explore decorative finishes. The possibilities are endless!
• Exposed Roof Framing: This allows for a more spacious feel and potentially higher ceilings. However, keep in mind that you’ll need to factor in the cost of installing a finished ceiling.
• Generally Lower Cost: Bare-finish units offer a more affordable entry point, allowing you to stretch your budget further.

Benefits of a Bare-Finish Unit:

• Customization: This is the ultimate perk for design enthusiasts! From flooring to paint colors to room layouts (with proper permits!), you have complete control over the look and feel of your space.
• Cost-Effectiveness: The upfront cost for a bare-finish unit is typically lower, allowing you to invest in your dream finishes and fixtures over time as your budget allows.
• Flexibility: You can prioritize the finishes that matter most to you first. Perhaps you need a functional kitchen right away, but can wait to install a built-in closet system. The flexibility allows you to tailor your improvements to your immediate needs and future plans.

Ultimately, the choice between a fully-finished and a bare-finish unit hinges on your individual needs and priorities. Here are some questions to consider:

• Budget: Are you looking for a move-in-ready solution or are you comfortable spreading the cost of improvements over time?
