I built with Jayman a couple years ago. I know at least one person on the board built with them recently so maybe you can get an updated opinion.

They were pretty good in terms of value I think.

We had lots of issues with the house - which was bad - but they stood behind everything fairly well - which was good.

For example right at the start they buggered our possesion date and we were 'homeless' for 2 weeks. They paid for the hotel and all our expenses, plus threw in about a $1000 upgrade on our fridge for the hassle.

These days anyone with a toolbelt can be a tradesman so I dunno if you can avoid all the issues. You have to stay on top of them and they better be willing to see your smiling face on the jobsite and in the office on a regular basis.
