As a builder also...

I looked at the pics here... hmmmm.

Not sure what's the deal with the post/beam system for overhang on front porch. The "wrap's" diff. in height is primarily cosmetic. The sloping of the concrete in relation to the front door looks bad, but hard to tell if the chicken or the egg came first there, meaning did expanisive and/or sinking soil conditions cause this? Was the pour done this way. Like I said hard to gather from pics, for me at least. The wrap there should be covering something along the lines of a CB44 or other config's strap. This is stated from pic I'm looking at.

As for the drainage, I don't know what the plans for this house said, but It looks like there is at least 2% swale and slope away from the structure itself.
Plans could have asked for more... doubt by much more than another 2%.
Grade around home is fairly indicative of hillside? or something. If there is alot of rain/moisture there, a concern would be erosion rather than poor drainage.

Anyway, the large developer's are gonna be slower to move on stuff like this, even if in person these problems are much clearer.


Just a different opinion from what I saw, I might change my mind seeing in person,
