If you have money, you can absolutely get a house that will stand the test of time.
But corporate builders aren't concerned about that. They do shoddy work because they know they can get away with it. It's just good enough that an overworked inspector will pass it, but by the time the buyer moves in and the honeymoon period has ended, the corporation which built it has been dissolved and its profits reabsorbed into the parent company. Good luck going after them at that point.
- tshaddox 5y agoRight, that's what I'm saying about the race to the bottom. I'm sure you could find a corporate builder (perhaps even the same corporate builder!) to build whatever project you're talking about for 3 times the price and it will be significantly better quality. It's easy to lament the way the market has trended, but are you willing to pay 3 times more? Probably not.
