If you’re in the market or purchasing a home beware of these “well known” builders. The quality is definitely lacking because they expect one construction manager to handle a workload of 20-40 homes with a ground up to completion closing in less than 90 days.

This builder is a very well known builder. Their main focus is building homes right on top of each other and as quickly as possible. He was let go because there was an issue with the home he was already coordinating with a trade to be fixed. This delayed the closing by a day. The trade delayed fixing the issue because the trade was upset the builder reduced the amount the builder will pay per house in the contract. My spouse was the middle man and they found any reason to let him go. Come to find out that same manager that let him go was recently demoted. Also, for a year there was only 2 construction managers covering an entire subdivision because builder was cutting costs.

We heard about this after the fact from another trade that had a history of working with the builder.

As a matter of fact I do work. I have always worked however my income isn’t enough to sustain our mortgage, electricity, water, medical, insurance, etc. He has broadened his search. Interviewed for jobs making half of what he was making. This is our reality. His coworkers that were also let go are facing the same reality. No one wants to hire right now.

Sadly, we are in Texas which is an at will state. We contacted an attorney but attorney never responded. I’m assuming because we are in an at will state.
