We have had experience with two "builders" here and both have been PERFECT. You realize that they function as project supervisors and they all work directly for The Villages.
We have now bought a brand new home that was already built and contracted to build one and watched it everyday being built. We are not new to the building process, we have built 6 homes in our lifetime....so far...
. When you say the name of your builder to associated folks, like designers at Southern Lifestyles, they all say...He is great.
With all the builders lacking work in the U.S. and all of the builders working here in TV, you know ones who aren't up to snuff aren't going to stay around very long. Our second and first builder said that they had been with the company for many years.
But we were looking at our house being built every day, sometimes we would go over twice a day. I am so in awe of the perfect planning and excellent supervision and the skills of each "team" of subcontractors. We counted one day a total of 27 people working on different projects in and out of our house at one time...We "caught" two flaws and before we could report them, they were corrected. We didn't catch another tile flaw and saw a note from builder to tile sub to remove it and make it like the model like the buyers requested. It wasn't wrong, just different than the model we had asked to duplicate.
We didn't notice the tile end run being different but he did.
I think we have the best of the best. Not to worry....and...if something isn't to your liking I am sure they will fix it. Just remember that you can't be changing things in the middle. Well you can change some things, but it will cost you a $250 charge...each time and for each item. So think it through first and decide what you want. Luckily we didn't change our mind on anything after we made our decisions.
Good luck and happiness here with us in lower Paradise!
