The two most important things you can do when buying a new construction home or building one is:
1. Hire a lawyer to look over the contract. This might cost a couple thousand, but it is cheaper than the alternative.
2. Hire your own independent inspector. This, again, will cost you money, but it will save you lots of time and stress.
I am a builder and I question the intelligence of anyone who does not do these two things. Even a cheap 120k home is a lot of money to risk on a faulty product.
I am glad that someone finally gave some good insight for prospective home buyers. Every builder out there is going to miss things occasionally and make mistakes, some more than others. So when buying a new home, or a used one always get a private inspector. Many times the inspector will find things that are not relevant, but they are one the home buyers side and know what to look for to protect the buyer.
