Not only new builds. I was living in a 4-plex townhouse in Regal Terrace that, I would guess, would be an 80’s build. My heating bill was higher than I liked, so I decided to check how much insulation was in the attic. Poked my head up in the attic, there was insulation, but it was still in the bundles and not installed. I crawled up and laid out the insulation for my unit and the one next to me. I always wondered if the neighbour was home and heard me stomping around in the attic above their unit.
On a side note, I thought it was a serious security issue that I could gain access to their unit simply by going into the attic and lifting the attic hatch. They would have had easy access to my unit as well, but I was young and poor with very little worth stealing.
