[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Old home lover here.  I do think construction has improved, and one could in principle build a better built home now than in the past.  The problem is that a great number of builders now don't use the available technology but instead rely on the cheapest possible way to mass produce homes of inferior craftsmanship than yesteryear.

Which is why a house built in 1975 isn't going to last as long as the one built in 1880.  The walls in our rowhouse let in no sound and you can't punch a hole in the wall.

Not much resembling Notre Dame, Sagrada Familia, St Basils, etc.

The majority of new home builders use crap materials and put these things up in a few months time.

The capability to build more efficient homes is there--just not frequently utilized.[/quote]

what are these crap materials?

You do realize that minimum code exceeds old homes?

Why would how fast a home go up be an indication of quality?

A home takes 8 months to 12 months maybe 6 to 12 if you used modular,  does that mean it's bad? In fact the bad builds take longer because problems were discovered in permits, land or financing.  You want to put up the shell asap to protect the interior as you finish it.[/quote]
