“Garden Homes we started 10 years ago and
we’re into phase 4 right now,” Bonney said.
“We’ve got 63 units built and sold and have
three or four lots to develop. Once that’s
done we may look at doing another phase,
this is a project we’ve done over the last few
years.”
“The apartment we did last year was $3.5
million,” he continued. “We’ve done little
jobs by the hour where would finish things
up – 40 some-odd hours – $12-1300 dollars.
I have a job next year, it’ll be about 45 units
and it’ll probably run $5 million or more.”
For Bonney, construction and home building
is more than just a monetary endeavor. Even
for all the dollar signs and extravagance, after
40 years in business, going to work every day
isn’t always about profit and paychecks.
“Most of anything we do is to improvement
the betterment of the community,” Bonney
said. “It’s nice to drive by and say we built
this. There is a bit of satisfaction and see-
ing people using it. Whether it’s residential
or commercial, it’s something that’s an im-
provement to peoples’ lifestyle.”
