Lazy Builders

[Snaz]

I'm in a townhouse and yes the rush job clearly shows. On the other side of the coin my father in-law just completed their new house. Reputable architect and builders make a huge difference, every step of the construction was though and quality was top notch. The build site was clean and you could see these guys were proud of their work. The house is fantastic.

Yes & no.. it doesn't need to be an Architect to do the design. But you do get what you pay for. I design for a living, and have many buildings to my credit. I have seen the bad & good. I hate to say it, the final product (unless it is a spec build) is down to how much the client is willing to pay to do it right. The right way is for from the most economical way to do it. & trust me, most clients want to do it on the cheaper side.
