One of the things is that the Stucco homes in Stonecrest are stuccoed OVER wood frames.
They both may be built quickly but the homes built in
The Villages are built expertly. They have teams that ONLY do
House placement.
Footers and concrete.
Picking and carrying components
Rough framing
Fine framing.
Electrical.
Plumbing.
Window placements
Etc.
Etc.
There was even a team of mostly women who sealed every surface at the end, inside and outside. Along all baseboards etc.
The teams were scheduled in such a manner as to continue working each day, doing the job that they know well.
Both of the head builders of both of our homes had been with the Morses since Gary arrived from Michigan. They don't tolerate anything from their subs they don't like.
We have built a total of six homes in our lives or bought new to total ten homes. We did have ONE used home.
We have had more elaborate homes but none that were built better. They have building planned out to a science.
That didn't keep them from tearing out the tile in the kitchen on the order of the builder. (We really didn't see a flaw, but he wasn't satisfied with it.)
They know what they are doing. Buy in bulk, and have it carefully planned.
