When you click on Lennar’s link-3rd largest builder, Centex pops up. You might have to change this to corresponds to Lennar Homes, not Centex.

Just because a house builder (yes, I said HOUSE, not HOME) is large doesn’t mean it builds good houses or is a responsible member of the community. We could easily look at this top ten list as the top ten most wanted culprits in the epidemic of sprawl plaguing the country. Beazer is currently being investigated by the SEC–see this link: http://realestate.msn.com/Buying/Article_busweek.aspx?cp-documentid=5273001>1=10341 A lot of the large builders have reputations, whether deserved or not, for putting up shoddy construction. Get in the basement and check out the joists. Ask whether they use nails or screws to hang drywall. Get educated. Choosing a house based on the size of the builder is ridiculous. In this case, size doesn’t matter.

Homes builders use bait and switch when you buy your house.
You have very little proof that the all the homes parts are what you paid for. They are always changing manufacturers and never show you the options list.
What you see on one house, you may not see on another.
Simple things like framing in the toilets closet (the part of the bathroom that encloses the toilet with a door in a small room).
I was told that my house model was different. The Drees builders made the door swing into the toilet room. It was like going into a public bathroom stall with little clearance to shut the door and not rub up against the toilet.
Drees’ customer service motto is to deny, explain away, and give excuses. They never once in my home buying experience stepped up to the plate and took responsibility. It was a hassle for every little or otherwise to get rectified.
