[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great houses, they do finishes and extra trim work that are usually found in houses at much higher price points.

Their websites have plans as well as all the projects they are doing in the area. You can see they do a lot in DC in many price ranges from lower to higher where as in Virginia they do mostly high.

I don't really see any special finishes or "extra trim work" in any of the models there. They look par for the course for the most part. The homes tend to be smaller, intended for small lots. There are some really odd design/build choices: built-in fridge that isn't flush with the cabinet, an exterior door with glass for the garage threshold, ultra-modern cabinets in an otherwise traditional home with coffered ceilings and decorative iron railing. In any case, all these lower priced custom builders have their issues, it's up to the buyer to figure out what works for them and what doesn't. [/quote]

Their pricing is very good and they definitely have extras over your standard semi-custom tract builders like anv, ndi, etc... not that any of them are bad. Maybe you are used to a very high price point where everything is done to the 9s but I am comparing it to your standard  McMansion tract homes a la ashburn,  etc...[/quote]

Sorry, no, I don't believe this is on par with ANV, which while having their own set of problems, does build homes at higher price points and quality than what's shown from Relux. Perhaps NDI, I agree. I also agree that it's better than a tract home from a mass builder, though you do give up things like a congruent design. The designs I see from Relux borders on "eclectic" or even "strange". Lots of things look tacked on. Tract homes are more conservative in appearance but at least tend to be devoid of questionable design elements. Of course none of this compares to high end builders that work on projects above $150-$200/sqft, but that's not my frame of reference. My point is that Relux appears to build a home using methods and materials that is in line with the price and market segment they are in.[/quote]

I consider ANV on par with NDI, Foxhall, Classic Homes etc... I hope you aren't the ANV guy that comes on here and bashes every other builder.

Questionable design elements is subjective and at least you have some design elements to question vs your typical neutral tract builder [/quote]
