They may work quickly but they work carefully and every single thing is checked. I could see the builders notes and directions that were stuck to the back sliders when our house was being built. We have built many homes over the course of our lives and our children have built several This is the most efficient process here in The Villages that we have encountered and we have built a couple larger custom homes too.
If you have a question call warranty. They are the ones who have power over all the different teams and they will see that any problem is corrected.
P.S. I don't work for the developer.

Please do not be offended by my comments. I offer them as a person who inspected homes for years. You are offering a layman's opinion on the quality of Villages homes. Generally, Villages homes are of a quality that is comparible to most home contruction elsewhere. To a person with a trained eye and home construction experience, Villages homes are chock full of flaws. For example, far too much caulking is used to hide flaws, very few inside and outside walls are straight, windows are inferior in quality, block walls are constructed on concrete floors not nearly cured long enough, vinyl siding was applied incorrectly for several years, and on and on it goes. I offer the following that a person can use to tell when a individual or contractor lacks construction experience. When they someone uses the term "cement" floor or perhaps "cement" driveway, that person is not a true craftsman. The correct term is always "concrete" floor, "concrete" driveway or perhaps "concrete" patio. Cement is the binding product added to stone, sand and water that hardens and creates CONCRETE....Where I come from, many use the terms kitchen sink and kitchen zinc.
