The Designer was also a builder and helped us through a lot of problems. They were building 350 to 400 house a month and going way too fast and alot of errors. Supply and demand is the problem and you just can't snap your fingers and increase your workforce by 30 % when Morse decides to ramp up.
P.s. My wife said Nurses make the worse Patients, (she is a Nurse) i think you get my Point.
Also i did get most of everything repaired that needed repair, but it took a great deal of convincing. The Blame game among contractors is endless.

We have built seven houses and watched our kids build two.
The last one in Cincinnati was 4500 sq ft.
We have had two brand new homes here. One was a spec home and the second one built for us. We watched the second one being built every day. One day we walked in to see the tile guy tearing out the cap tile in the kitchen backsplash. I said what is wrong? And he was not happy, he said the builder told him to redo it. Both of our builders said they had been with the developer for many years. I am very happy with our home here. It doesn't have some of the wow factors of our last home in Cincy but it is well built and insulated and finished. Certainly worth the money and a very good investment.
