I swear, I've seen you post the exact same statement in other threads. I don't know if you're suggesting people hire sketchy contractors or just throwing the information out there, I don't get it.
Sketchy builders offer construction at $120 a square foot by cutting corners, believe me, they aren't just operating with thinner profit margins.
Examples of that include doing things like hiring unskilled labour to do the work of trades people, I was called in to repair mold growing in a home that wasn't even finished construction due to improperly installed vapor barrier that allowed water to collect. They cut corners where you won't see it, a favourite trick of these guys is to under blow or completely skip sections of attic insulation that are out of the inspectors sight. They use cheap, low grade materials, sometimes even used materials, the building inspector who on the final inspection found mice droppings and dirt in the attic fiberglass of a new home wasn't to amused. They build to the most minimum code standards possible, if that, where good builders will build above code when necessary (mold in finished basements is a common code issue that results from poorly structured code requirements). I could give more examples, ones outside my trade as well. I don't know what point you're trying to make, but it's not a good one.
