Right now, in my town there are two spec houses being built next to each other. One is by a semi retired contractor who does this to pass the time. It is all solid construction, and done right. The other is being built by a contracting company that builds a lot of cookie cutter homes. It is small, cheaply built, and won't last.

The well built home is larger but cheaper by about $20K.

If you are building a new home, be on the site EVERY DAY. Make sure to educate yourself on the basics of home building, and be aware that most of the home builders today will cut corners.

Are you British? The understatement is admirable.
