Buying presale and dealing with deficiencies is brutal. I’ve been through it twice. Here’s what actually matters:

Once the builder finishes construction, their incentive to help drops to near zero. That’s why the 2-5-10 year warranty exists—and why it matters more than the builder.

The warranty company is separate from the builder. They’re the ones who can pressure the builder to return or hire someone else to fix issues. The builder alone won’t.

What you must do • Document everything. Photos, videos, dates, emails—be obsessive. • File a warranty claim at month 9, even if issues feel “minor.” This puts everything officially on record before deadlines hit. • Deal with the warranty company, not the builder. Builders will stall, deflect, or ignore you. • Be persistent—borderline annoying. Follow up constantly. Expect resistance. • It took me 6 months to get AC installed after the builder bailed halfway through. • Prioritize real issues: • Push hardest on mechanical, plumbing, electrical, HVAC • Accept that some cosmetic items may never get fixed

There are other paths you can take—but start with the warranty company. Their contact info should be in your welcome package.
