I've been to countless new homes having to fix the stupidest shit wherein these homes were built by big name companies, its mind boggling some of the shit that I've seen

No no, you should definately expect like quality workmanship and doors to be hung properly, windows etc all plumbing, electrical, etc should be at or above code no matter what you buy when buying new

When I refer to the finishing it's moreso stuff like your spray coat on ceilings/drywall, mud and sanding coats, paint, quality of baseboards and laminate flooring, etc

For almost all newer town homes from 200-350k you get "level 1" finishing so you get like 1 initial spray coat primer, 1 pass with mud and sanding, usually 2 coats of paint, cheaper material baseboards etc

Not to say there is anything wrong with any of that persay, but like issues that arise with these products are due to the initial quality usually not installation
