Three Decades of Trusting Simonds
It’s been 30 years since Connie Biviano placed her trust in Simonds to build her family home. Since then, countless memories and life milestones have unfolded within its four walls. Now, she’s passed her long-lasting trust in Simonds on to the next generation, as her son Kyle is set to embark on his first home journey with us.
