Some of the newer ones, not so much.

Is there some sort of guiding philosophy towards homebuilding now? Like a number (even a vague one) about how long they are expected to last?
To me what matters most in a house is the stuff you don't see. Those homes sure might seem sturdy, but I'd hate to look at the plumbing or electrical.
