Once we moved into the house we noticed things like there only being one outlet for the entire basement. Don't trust his word, get it in writing and even then you'll have to nag him.
Description of Work: Purchased a home build buy Bob Cody. He promised to fix any problems within the first year. It took threatening to get a lawyer before he would fix some of the things. We let a few little things go and fixed other things ourselves because he was so difficult to deal with. After a couple of years in the house it is apparent he takes shortcuts to get things done cheaply and quickly.

It went poorly. The house was finished on time, however time has revealed the many shortcuts taken by Robert Cody to make the deadline. These include: using sub-code framing timbers in the walkout basement entryway; incorrectly hanging the siding on the walk-out exterior; not allowing ample time for the gravel to settle after a storm washed away most of it, which has to be replaced; incorrectly installing the basement floor framing thus allowing concrete to in contact with untreated lumber, etc. As a result we now have siding that's bowed, a sideway that started cracking before we even moved, a driveway that is cratered, uneven, and cracking, framing in the basement that's settling unevenly resulting in cracking walls. And there's more.
