What is the financial risk in not closing? When we bought, we had to put a quick $2K to hold the house followed by 20% within a short time with the rest at closing. But ours was/is a spec home. If there are similar funds required in building your own here, are these funds at risk by not closing when TV specifies? If they are, I guess you have to determine whether the loss is worth it compared to the immediate concern as well as the probability of a reduced resale value.

In looking at the pictures, it appears that the utilities were placed in the wrong spot OR the homesites were not placed right. Every other neighborhood I've seen has the boxes straddle lot lines, not be placed entirely on one lot. I agree with CaptJohn that Penguin needs to see the plans from TV and SECO and compare with the plan seen when picking the lot.
