I don't think there is any correlation between meeting or exceeding the building code and the warranty claims. Warranty claims are mostly due to poor workmanship or low quality appliances or building materials. My biggest complaints about The Villages houses are the cheap windows and garage doors/openers, and that every house has carpet, even those priced over a million dollars. But, overall, I think the construction quality is pretty good.
