[quote=Anonymous]Building contractor here. American residential construction is cheap, very low quality. You are only one large plumbing leak or stormwater leak away from a complete disaster. The drywall, insulation, and wood just rots away. Ive built both residential and commercial projects both here in the states and abroad. Our “commercial” construction is excellent - superior to rest of the world but residential is crap. Abroad, both residential and commercial practices are similar (iron, masonry, and concrete) so if one purchases a new home it will be around for a few generations, not a few decades. You will not be replacing the roof, windows, plumbing in your lifetime. I wish our residential codes and building practices were more commercial. [/quote]
