The hoards of workers, more than 25, parked in a vacant lot, all at one time, and walked down the street with their long levels in their hands. When they went home that day the walls were up. The next day a different team arrived with a crane and put up the roof. It is like clockwork. It is a well oiled machine, right down to the day and time of closing.

Tough as it is to hear that you were charged one day after you signed, the process was already well under way. If they keep changing things, well it slows things down. We are completely satisfied with the process and they correct things just as quickly. It is what it is. We are not new to building a house. How they do it here is by far the most efficient with the least errors that we have ever experienced.
I agree... It was made clear when we signed the contract that any changes after that, even if it was an hour later, would cost us $250. When we went through the process of choosing what we wanted for our home. They made sure we were sure... went over it again and again. Brought out all the color samples, took us through each home with our choices, etc.

When you sign the contract.... It's a done deal!

As Gracie said, if people can change their minds it will slow down the process for everyone.

To be honest, I don't think I've seen a bad build in The Villages!
