It's funny because builder grade around here would be luxury elsewhere, we are out of touch

By that logic, the entire country of the US is out of touch because some African tribes still live in dirt huts. I mean do we really need a man-made floor?

So what you're saying is that around here "builder grade" is a pretty nice.

This is what I've observed traveling around the country. This is a result of a multitude of factors, but mostly a result of consumer demand. Whenever you are around a economic center, where household incomes are high compared to the national average, you are going to find nicer automobiles on the street, nicer looking public parks, and nicer homes. The colonial style home that's popular in the area adapts itself well to a variety of cultures since its basic squarish layout makes very efficient use of space. Consumers in the area demand a full basement, 3 levels, open floor plans, nice bit kitchens, a large number of bathrooms, lots of windows, two car garages, and brick.

Oh, the horror! Partial hardwood, 6 inch tiles, and no Hardiplank even? How can anyone truly live like that?!

The OP claimed that NDI no longer builds cheap homes. The evidence is to the contrary. No one said anything about being or not being able to live in a home like that.

perhaps you need a lesson on cheap and builders grade...

Builders grade: 8 foot ceilings throughout,, laminate counters, vinyl flooring, acrylic showers and baths, single hung vinyl non lowE

that is a low-end builder grade - maybe found in another low-cost area. that isn't the standard "builder grade" around here.

So what you're saying is that around here "builder grade" is a pretty nice.

Yes, it's perfectly fine. I'm sure many people would be fine with it.

^ or maybe that was builder grade around here 15-20 years ago. dated materials.

Right, even the cheap Centex-built townhome I bought back in 1997 had 9' first floor ceilings and double-hung windows.

Well the lower level of plans and materials have been eliminated. Also most builders use the same subs so that doesn't really make a difference.

Huh. You don't think there is a difference in the quality of the subcontractors used on a job? You are so sweetly naive or stupid. Your choicr

A perfectly fine home. Also, a great example of a "builder grade" materials - flooring, cabinets, countertop, etc. Not really high-end. BUT - that's not an insult; there isn't anything wrong with it. It's just a mid-grade home.
