New Construction Builder: "Ashton Woods Homes @
Verrado in Buckeye" This
home
was a ground-built home. That means, it was not built as a SPEC, but
right from the ground up with all options selected by the Buyer. (THERE
ARE SEVERAL AUDIO/VIDEO CLIPS TO VIEW BELOW)
This home is a 2,400 sqft, two story,
three car garage, single family home. The garage is a tandem bay three
car garage.
The builder's site superintendent was on
site during the pouring of the cement foundation. The site
superintendent gave specific instructions to the work crew as to the
tolerances, depth and height of the cement three car tandem garage and to
the site foreman. Even after giving these instructions, the workers
incorrectly poured a two car garage slab instead of the correct tandem three
car garage. The only way to correct the error was to bring in heavy
equipment to 'wet-saw' and jack hammer out the improperly poured slab.
Once again... this is a graphic example
of some of the items that can go wrong when a new home is under construction
and even after the construction process has been completed.
Phase Inspections are ESSENTIAL if you
wish to protect your investment. |
