Not all new builds are created equal. If you're touring a home or preparing to close, here are signs that point to high-quality construction:
Solid Craftsmanship: Even seams, level floors, and flush cabinets are good indicators.
Material Quality: Hardwood vs. laminate, soft-close drawers, and durable countertops make a difference.
Efficient Systems: Look for ENERGY STAR-rated HVAC, appliances, and water systems.
Builder Reputation: Research reviews, ask neighbors, and look at past projects.
Inspection Reports: Don’t skip a professional inspection—even on new builds.
A beautiful finish means little if what's behind the walls isn't built to last. Pay attention to the details—they often tell the real story.
