I think they do a very good job building. It is done quickly but expertly and there are teams that work together all of the time. I doubt if they have much turnover. Two houses are building right now very close to us, one across the street and one behind us.

I counted 16 men laying cement block. The block was delivered day before and set down in exact locations all around the house. It seems that one guy builds his own section all the way up.

The roofers were the same, their own specific team of frame roofers and then a different team of shinglers. They have a team that measures and sets posts after the lot is surveyed and then a different team that digs footers, and then a bunch that pours concrete. There are the crane operators that are different from the back hoe people and a group of interior framers that are different from the roof framers. There is a woman carpenter I saw on the interior frame group in one house. I was kinda pleased to see that. ANd all the time the main boss who is called the builder is checking things several times a day. At the end of the day in our house he would leave instructions.. He had them tear out finish tile in the kitchen and do it again.

When the underground piping was laid, it was delivered the night before.
There is never a gap in the process or a day off. Some teams are there on some weekends. They stop at five thirty but many will continue for some time after. The construction site is tidied and wood stacked at the end of the day and the home swept inside and debris collected from lunches each day. Some paper and lunch stuff does blow into our yard but that is to be expected. I don't see any bottles just tossed on the site from their water or soda.

We too have built many new homes in our lifetime and this is the most amazing build we have witnessed. Every person has his part and he appears on cue, at the right time and does his thing until the next person and his bunch take over.

We are more than satisfied.

On both houses there was little to fix and they did it the NEXT DAY from notification being received and processed.
We think the components are fine. Did have problem with new refrigerator and I think there was construction debris left in water line that was not flushed before water hook up . Have had some settling cracks in concrete. I think that is to be expected.
