[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All these people post about build quality etc etc. What are you guys comparing too?  If all builders are building almost at the same quality, what's the difference?  Some people with homes built in the early 2000s on here claiming the quality of their homes are better but who cares, this is the quality of homes being built these days.  It is what it is.  I never understood this. [/quote]

Most people are spectacularly unqualified to judge the quality of construction.

What posters here usually mean when they talk about quality is how expensive were the finish materials. Flooring can be fifty cents a square foot or it can be five hundred dollars. A sink faucet can be twenty bucks or it can be two thousand. You can spend $300 on a refrigerator or $30,000. The same is true of windows, doors, wall finishes, decks even landscaping. None of these things affect the quality of construction -- but boy do they affect the price. [/quote]

The reality is that people equate expensive with quality and that is not always the case and builders take full advantage of this naivete. We redid a bathroom last year and the difference is tile prices was wild. In the end we found tile that was $0.99 per tile. The tile place had over ordered and were just trying to get rid of the tile. Saved us a ton of money and didn't compromise on quality. [/quote]
