I bought my house as the 2nd owner; house was a year old and built by Excel.

With all of the corners they cut, I would not want to build from them. And a lot of the cut corners have been found after living in the house for a while and/or doing renovations.

Classic example- bare minimum cose requires insulation in the basement to the frost line. So my basement walls came with R8 insulation going 1/2 way down the wall.
