Your crazy AF! Those drywall cracks are minimum. The molding splitting is caused from lots of temperature variation in the home which is caused by the owner. The builder should buy back all the homes that passed inspection from the city in the first place??? The city gave the builder a certificate of occupancy which proves the home meets all code and compliance. And you feel that years later or months later it’s the builders fault? A) the builder coulda had shitty sub contractors who cut corner with material and now it’s coming undone. B)That home looks like a cheap mass produced home called a trac home. They are built and the cheapest of levels. Only because the consumer demands a home in that price range. Your comments show your intelligence level. Probably a Democrat if I had to guess. Or part of the woke crowd.

Gives you that sinking feeling. I worked for a Development Company as a Customer Services Rep. For the most part the homes were built well, but some had things like a spring under the house, or a very steep hill out back where the drainage couldn't handle the runoff water during a storm. Things like that are manageable, but a crappy foundation is a different story which would take some engineering to solve, and expensive.

If you're the owner, read what someone wrote above: "Class action lawsuit, Beazer should have to buy back all those homes." My guess is that it's an issue with the soil and foundation. I witnessed it in another state before. A soils engineer was supposed to study the soil and write a report on it before any foundation was done, to the best of my knowledge.

When we looked at a Beazer model about 6 months ago we immediately noticed the cheaply made home. We ran from that builder. It’s almost better to find a older home that was built in the 50s or 60s here in town and remodel it. The home is more solid than anything else that you’re going to find in the new housing unless you have a few million for a quality new build. But you shouldn’t have to be a millionaire to get a quality built home. These builders should be held accountable for shit like this.

The foundations are settling. The cracks are a symptom. To solve the problem, rebuild. Every time it rains, it will only accelerate the process. It is a sad thing to buy a home and find out it is not safe. The foundation is not going to stop moving. They would have to lift the home off the foundation of block the foundation up. Then take an enormous amount of sand and/or soil out and stablize the soil and pump it back under the home. This act would cost half or more of what the house is worth. Beazer is not going to take the hit. It would mean admitting they built on soft sand or earth in the area. Which calculate in millions of dollars of restitution. They do not want to do that either.

Its called doing your due diligence: Get the architect's plans/blue prints, find out the materials used to build the house, speak to the contractor who built the house and inspect all the documents filed by the inspectors. Go over the entire house with your eyes. Talk with the Neighbors and ask them are they happy with their houses.. Last be not least, research the actually ground/land the house is built on. Find out if the ground is soft or not... Shit, if you're spending half a million dollars on a house, you better put in the work to find out everything about the house. No damn house should start falling about after a few months. It should take at least 10 to 15 years before repairs are needed on a new construction house.

The house is settling and the also did not find the lowest point of the house and then cut studs to match that height. Build exteriors first then put your laser up. It's an extra 2 to 3k for this but you don't run into the problem of having your trusses hit and not hit interior and exterior walls. Also piece rate( the job pays (x amount) finish fast and your hourly goes up...finish slow and your pay goes down.) Quality suffers everytime!

Sears kit homes were ordered through catalogs and ship by mail, sold these homes for around 35 years. A lot of the Sears homes are still standing. Beazer wants to make quick profits by hiring unskilled labor, using cheap materials, and covering up things that aren’t up to code or possibly NV codes are more laxed than other states. It’s sad that many young people don’t want to learn the trades and also builders don’t want to hire skilled tradesmen.

I used to own an after construction cleanup business and was horrified at the construction. These $300k+ homes had gaps around the doors and windows, among other things. I always felt horrible because I knew the buyer wouldn't spot it until it was too late. Here, they hire illegals dirt cheap, and use the cheapest materials. I was forced to clean doo doo from a tub and floors in homes where the plumbing worked. If they're doing that, you know they don't care about the work they're doing.

Majority of these contractors probably don't have legal papers to work in the US. If you think about it, USA is run by immigrant blue collared workers. Some can stay here without being caught and some are deported. Majority of these jobs, no american wants to do such staying in a hot sun building house. Its not only beazer who has potential to make crappy house but other builders as well. I currently have a beazer house with not issues but have some friends who had bad experience as well. Like i said, it really depends on the contractors and most important, the assigned construction manager. Our construction manager was always on top of his employees. Also, you have to be sure when buying any home from any builder to do your due diligence and hire a home inspector for all 3 phases. To cut this story short, houses in the USA are made cheap hence they are finish within a couples months and when a weather disaster comes, they will fly off by a single 40 MPH wind versus houses in foreign countries can take years to complete and can go to severe weather conditions and still standing like brand new.

But, aside from that, there are other sources to verify. NO ONE can convince me that Beazer doesn't know that these contractors are shady especially when they have so many complaints from customers. This is what happens when you look for and accept the lowest bidder ALL THE TIME!!! Like I said, Beazer knows EXACTLY who they are hiring to build these houses! If they wanted the Gold Standard 🥇 they would seek out those contractors because they DO exist and Beazer is very aware of this fact. There's no excuse for them not to do their due diligence, especially since they have so many lawsuits against them. But, as usual, they will take the easy way out and file bankruptcy and skip town. The usual corporate crooks. 😔 And you are right! It is wise for the homeowner-to-be to hire their own inspectors for their home building project from start to finish. You were smart.
