To be honest I'm not sure if it's a newer standard or what (direct to sheeting on roof). All the houses I've had done we installed baffles for airflow. But the last garage I did with a mother-in-law suite above it they sprayed directly to the sheeting. And It's the same guy I've used for the last 15 years.

Now this is MN I'm talking about. All closed cell foam and a different climate.
I was just referring to your comment that the builder is cheaping out and cutting corners. With respect to attic insulation, the builder is just following the normal and accepted method to insulate a house in accordance with the building code. It is not fair to say that the builder is cutting corners on the insulation.
