Title
Building a new Home? Avoid home builder construction rip-offs
Description
This guide is the culmination of knowledge of several attorneys, architects, and home builders. Until recently, the main author, Lawrence Thomas, worked for one of the largest builders in the country. Lawrence shares knowledge he gained the hard way: Dealing with hundreds of angry homeowners while managing the warranty department for one of the country's largest home builders.
The original idea for this guide came from one of the authors who left the home building industry in 1999 because of the terrible changes he began to see. He was disheartened that the rapid growth in new home sales came at the expense of quality construction and customer satisfaction.
In the last ten years, relatively small home building companies have grown into giants and the giants have merged into mega-corporations. Today, roughly 70% of new homes in this country are built by only 7% of the builders (November 2001, Journal of Light Construction). These "production" builders have enjoyed immense prosperity in this boom-time but have had to deal with a shrinking labor pool of qualified contractors.
