Lots of corner cutting, sometimes literally. I'd stay away from anything with a complex roof. If it's trying to look like an entire village compressed into a single building, it's unlikely they got all the various creases and drainage paths correct.

I'd rather avoid bad builders, if possible, though that's not entirely feasible until we change something.

		Hiring your own good builder and having them build to your (and your architect's) specifications is the easiest way to avoid bad builders. Buying tract homes is hard to avoid the high-volume builders (by definition), but it's entirely possible to avoid bad builders.
