Back in 2003 through 2006, my friend and I visited model homes almost every weekend. She was looking for a second home (investment) and I was looking to upgrade. One thing we both learned was that several builders (Taylor Woodrow/Morrison, Standard Pacific, John Laing/Laing Luxury) consistently built better quality homes for around the same prices as other builders. In fact, in one model home built by another builder, we saw splintered wood and nails poking through in many places when we looked underneath the granite countertop. My friend and I both questioned if the island was built correctly and if it would hold up the heavy granite.
I never did find my dream upgrade home so I was extremely excited to hear about this new Laguna Altura community. However, I was deeply disappointed when I found out that none of the four neighborhoods would be built by builders (Taylor Morrison and Standard Pacific) I admired. I was further disappointed when I read about the location issues with this community. I am now looking forward to the other community that is coming up in this general area but I was wondering if, like Laguna Altura, all the homes will be built by IP. Also for those that have seen these model homes by IP, has anyone seen any workmanship/quality issues?
