We had cracks in our lanai in our designer, and when we ripped up the carpet in the living and dining room, we found serious cracks in the slab that had to be addressed. You could tell the house had shifted by looking at the door from the laundry room into the garage, which used to be shut tighter than a drum, but eventually you could see through to the garage at one point. And I watched a tile in the entrance to the master bedroom slowly crack right to left.

I think they're decent houses, but expect some issues. In our CYV, when you flip the light switch to the lanai, the television goes off briefly! But I'm a happy camper.

I owned a steel warehouse and the city had to cut through our driveway when they put in storm sewers. They filled over with concrete that allowed 70,000 lb. trucks to drive on the same day, never had a problem, driveway is still there 10 years later.
