Also when i was building my home at a design meeting i was told don't worry about a pre wired alarm system we rarely have any break-in's here. Well 11 break-in's in 3 months are certainly not rarely, with-in a mile of my home.
I insisted that i wanted pre wired windows and doors and gave them my design and it was a nightmare for it to get done properly to the point that the designer had to shutdown the job and i almost had to fly down to correct everything. After everything was completed the designer apologized and 148 item check list was given for repairs. Unfortunately they where building at to fast of a rate, about 350 a month and a lot of detail was missed.
For the most part everything was repaired with painful effort to get it done, everyone seem to play the blame game among contractors, nothing i am not used to being a retired builder.
I was told that pre wired alarms will no longer be done due to there are to many problems that come with that, and only wireless alarms will be installed after the house is close, which i am not a fan of wireless system due to interference, which i also have a electrical mechanical engineering background and i won't elaborate on that.
Point being read what you sign and don't believe everything your told, do your own research folks, have a good day.

The roads belong to the county.
Read what you sign, and then follow the rules.
We had NO problem at all with either the new home that was already built or the one they built for us. It is their rules. There are certain things they would do, and would not do. We have built several homes and this was the best, and the easiest here in The Villages..
