That being said, do you guys really trust the workmanship in your homes that were built by The Villages?

I'm no construction engineer, but it seems to me that many homes here in The Villages were built quickly and I just wonder, what if the "big-one" strikes.

How will the homes hold-up?
The homes were built quickly because they are built by teams, carefully choreographed teams. There are different groups of workers for foundations and plumbing and electrical and roofing and dry wall and framing and they know when and where they will be the day you sign for your home to be built. The materials are also carefully ordered and placed when the teams need them. We watched this home being built and were amazed at how smooth the process is. Even to some of the work was done over if the chief builder in charge didn't like how it was done. The roofing crew must have had ten plus men who arrived early and stayed way past six on a day that was in the nineties.
