And the developers trying to meet Code are the crooks that take your money and give you the minimum.
How much more would it have cost to have done a decent landing with steps to grade? They still got paid the full amount and gave you the minimum.

Put the grill on the ground reeeeeal close to the house. You can stand on the deck and reach the grill. It also adds texture to that bland siding.

Hate to spoil the fun but, the buyer probably plans to have his own deck installed so they just did what was needed to get a CO.

I inspect lots of new homes and have some clients that say "don't worry about the flooring and paint, its all going to be redone before we move in".
