KB, Pulte, McMillin, Centex, SP, Lennar….best? worst? thoughts?

Builder Experience-

This is builder experience from homes we’ve been involved with in one way or another, amd only includes the tracts with over 100 homes.

In order for SoCal,

1. Pulte- in SoCal is definitely better that Pulte NoCal and Pulte Vegas, with national builders in SoCal Pulte is near the top.

2. Lennar- never had a problem, quick to assist, good quality

3. (tie)Shea- hit and miss depending on neighborhood, depends on who the supe was and the subs they hired. I guess that means their hiring practices are substandard

3. (tie)Mcmillin- middle of the road construction, materials not as nice as the two above. They don’t have the same buying power for materials as the nationals, and to compete price wise it shows in their construction

4. US Homes- prior to becoming part of Lennar, not so great. It shows in a lot of their older Temecula Redhawk homes.

5. K Hov- again, so so

6. DB Horton- whatever

7.t Richmond American- poor quality

7.t Centex (same as above)

8. KB- the bottom of the batch

Bearvine, what about Van Daele? How do they rate? They have some floorplans they use over and over that I particularly like.

marion, Vandaele is a regional builder, I’d put them in the middle of the pack

bear, the lennar assumed tracts in redhwak were built by col-rich who lennar bought pretty much near the beginning to middle of those tracts, most of the backside of redhawk (St.Andrews, Augusta, Pinehurst), I don’t remember US home? Eagle point was continental, the fairways was richmond, Baratt, warmington and a few others each had a tract in the early nineties section closer to the waterfall. There are a few I don’t like and never looked at but I’ve been here forever and there are always signs, which area was u s home/lennar other than the ones I mentioned because I never saw lennar around here until about 1997.
