Finish carpenters don't lay tile. Roofers don't plumb.. Your closing day and hour is given you when you sign. Materials for the next day's work are dropped off the night before. The main builder walks through each home each day, sometimes several times, and in our case made a sub rip out tile and do it over for one example. Our stone pillars on the porch were ordered redone by the builder in charge.. You haven't built here, but many of us have and they know I speak the truth.

In the homes we have built before there was a lot of days no one did anything on our house.
Henry Ford would have been proud of what you describe as an assembly line building technique. I doubt an extra nail is used. Very efficient!

Are Premier homes built under the same standards and under the same time constraints as other homes?
