Builder in Mclean

[Anonymous]

Be careful, regardless. I was interested in a $2M house in McLean that was supposedly the highest quality, built by a builder who usually only does $4M and up, blah blah blah. It was the worst-built POS I've ever seen.

Some of their single family homes in McLean are gorgeous and I'm guessing they pay more attention to detail in a $2 million single-family house than in a townhouse in Tysons.

We have a Buchanan-Price house and have been pleased. Not problem-free but no major problems, and the team was responsive.

I agree, the model we saw LOOKED gorgeous ( a new development about two years ago of 12ish homes). I have no idea the quality of the construction. I just know the TH quality was junk. When I looked at it to rent, it looked good, too. Living in it taught me a lot about what to look for when selecting a builder.

What to look when you select a builder now?

This helps no one if you don't mention the builder.

We are building with NDI and they are great to work with. They do some high end homes and I found their upgrade pricing both competitive and transparent.

We are not happy with the quality we got from Tradition Homes. A number of issues with their oversight of subcontractors. Not a good value for the price.

There was a thread on Quaker Homes. They seem to build in McLean too.

Why wouldn't Quaker build in Vienna?

It really depends on price point. Sagatov is great but probably won't do under $4M
