Always check out 3 current projects just finished with your chosen builder, get a good inspector who does pre contract inspections also. Speak to trades who work with them and suppliers, you will get a much better understanding of what your builder really gives you, this way, check forums well before you start, trouble is too many think display house is so important, when it's behind all other items I've mentioned, you will end up far better off if you so the above, building with too little homework leads to, lucky you or pain, good luck.
