When they were setting the place, the workers just let things break
and really did not seem to care. Sure, there are probably other
companies that are more careful, but even if that's the case, I was
not at all impressed by these homes, and they cost a fortune compared
to traditional construction. I know I will never buy one of them. In
reality, they are nothing more than glorified large versions of
trailer homes.

Hmmm.... It sounds like your beef is with the installers....

OTOH, last time I checked, on a square foot basis, these homes cost
about 1/4 of a stick built home. You add HVAC, foundation, etc., and
the final cost is still about 60% of a stick built home. I'm not sure
where you get your figures.
