Nowadays it is rare indeed to
find the builder actually on the building site alongside his contractors, tools
in hand. But this is where you will expect to find Virgil Gil. Virgil
has been building superb quality homes in Albuquerque since the early 1970s and
has always had this "hands on" philosophy about residential construction.
While Virgil's newest project, Mirador, is based on a small number of standardized floorplans, each home receives individualized touches. Virgil is well aware that his customers are individuals and so he often goes out of his way to avoid having his homes appear as endless rows of identical "cookie-cutter" constructions. While most builders in this price range offer only a fixed menu of upgrades, Virgil listens to his customers and will suggest possibilities to personalize each and every home.
An other part of Virgil Gil's construction and design philosophy is to offer more value for the dollar than other builders selling new homes in the same price range. Many of Virgil's construction innovations, such as independent duct systems for both the heating and cooling, may not add to the beauty of the home, but add immeasurably to long-term comfort and functionality.
