[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what are the differences between the “good” builders and the cheap ones?[/quote]

Some things to look for:

Are they using the zip system or Tyvek? 
Masonry fireplaces? 
What is the roofing material? 
We have stone on our house. It is real, not a composite. A mason spent a lot of time doing the stone. 
What are the windows made out of? Do not cheap out on windows 
No LVP. Real hard wood only. 
You need a lot of landscaping. This is very expensive. 
Cabinets need to be high quality. Do not allow your builder to buy the Home Depot cabs. 
No cheapie bath tubs. Make sure they tile any tub fronts so it looks a lot more high end 
The house should not overwhelm the property.  The builder should not be squeezing every last sq ft and jamming it on the lot. 
A good architect can be a very worthwhile way to spend $ 
Everything should be neat and clean. The subs should not be allowed to do sloppy work

This is a good list. I’m curious why you insist on wood window frames though? Personally, I have had a bad experience with them because they are more sensitive to moisture and require more maintenance. [/quote]
