It seems that when buyers talk about "new construction", they often are concerned about problems related to "construction quality". I often hear comments about they don't build like "in the good old days, etc. Clearly, we live in a different world with many new products and workers that have different values and work ethics. Actually, homes today are built to stricter energy standards than just a few years ago. I also see workers on new home sites working way past what many of us consider normal hours, even framing at 7 PM on a Sunday night in the summer months. What's really happening?
I don’t think there is any builder that wakes up in the morning and decides “today, I’ll cut corners and build a crappy, poor quality house”. That just doesn't…
