‘Construction is not perfect:’ Expert tips on what to do when you're building a house

In the south of Texas, a new housing development in a major boomtown stood frozen in time for a little over two years.

“I think you can have quality whether you’re a small builder or a large builder,” she added. “It’s having the right system in place, a quality supervisor on site and making sure that they’re there every day.” “You have all 500 people working there, but they’re not working at the same time,” said Palmer. “So you end up with someone that will pull insulation down to do electrical work, but they don’t have a chance to inform the insulation contractor to go back and make repairs. An issue of communication between trades become major problems.”When purchasing a new home, you want to make sure your investment is in good shape.

“It’s a relationship that goes beyond just purchasing,” said Burger. “It’s proactive problem-solving.” “We almost always find notable issues in the range above $600. It’s almost always worth their salt,” said Palmer.Last year, the situation grew a bit worse for the residents off North Bluff Drive. Apodaca said he has noticed construction activity within the last six months, with some of the homes that were left unfinished for years now being completed. Still, some debris remains.

“A majority of these people have stayed under contract since 2020, and will close on these homes in the next couple of months," she said. "Stapleton Group and MODUS have already closed on a couple of units so far in this community. They are hoping to complete that community by the end of summer.”Yahoo Finance reached out to StoryBuilt for comment and received no response.
