No, they do not.

We live south of 44 and walked thru many of the homes being constructed in Marsh Bend and DeLuna. Also a few in Chitty Chatty and St Catherines.

Vinyl sided homes are 2x4 wood stick construction on 16" centers. Stucco homes are cinder block outer walks with interior walls 2x4 wood stick construction.

Both will have a small number of steel 2x4 or 2x6 studs. Roof trusses are wood and fabricated off site at a factory and trucked in.

Craft construction? Not really. A reasonable job done to meet building code. Yes, sometimes there are mistakes made and not corrected. Neighbor's 1-year inspection revealed cracked trusses in the attic.

Inspections highly recommended both within the first 30 days after closing, as well as before the 1 year anniversary.

In summary, construction is good enough to build a solid home. No real craftsmanship is visible.
