Incredibly detailed plans with EVERY selection made in advance.. spec sheet was over 100 pages.. Superb supply chain .. since every selection was made in advance, there were no material delays.. Workers were there virtually every day (sometimes night) 7 days a week. Finish work .. carpentry, quartz, fixture installation, tile all done by specialists to spec. All workers know that warranty work comes directly back to them on their dime. These are not Ryan or DR Horton homes they're building here .. could easily compete with Pulte, at least at the Designer level.

I was at the home daily during construction and had the same experience. Construction is highly optimized and process oriented like an automotive factory.
The skilled trades I spoke with all had 20+ years experience and very proud of their work.
Construction supervisors meet periodically, tour each other's homes and discuss continuous improvement/best practices.
County inspectors were top notch, respected by the workers and anything they noted fixed within the next working day.
This was the third home we've constructed and was the best built.
