Just spend a month or so walking through homes under construction. I would choose a block stucco, just simply because we live in a hurricane prone peninsula of Florida and it gets HOT. ASK to talk to one of their builders. I don't know if that will be feasible because they are really working hard and on schedule and they don't have to SELL anything.

They build to code. Get a copy of Code for Sumter County. They do NOT build custom homes but will accommodate SOME choices. The Premier homes have some different selections, base moldings were higher as a dumb example...I can't think of others right now, because that one stood out to us at the time. Our moldings were all silicone sealed. As I have said before, I thought they did a danged good job and we are not strangers to having homes built for us.
They do a few models over and over.

My memory is not serving me. What do the readers say is the most commonly chosen designer? The one with the kitchen in the front and pillars inside. That was our first home. Wonderful plan. Then the biggest designer is very popular...cannot think of it's name.

Somebody tell this guy what YOU chose. We have a Seabrook now. LOVE IT.

Somewhere, I can't find them we had pictures of the lumber and metal braces as it was built....all you have to do is walk through one of the block and stucco under construction.

OH RATS. I meant this to belong to the post I did above it. I haven't had coffee yet. I wish the OP would just ask WARRANTY and look for himself/herself.
