We bought a new house last year. Last month I had to give the builder (DR Horton) a report on things in the house that we want fixed. We hired an inspector to check on the house and help us fill this report. He found few things like voids under the driveway, A/C units issues ...
A month after I submitted the report to the DR Horton customer service someone called to look over it at our house and see what he thinks should be fixed or not,
They will fix some of the items on the list but not everything (like if the inspector didn't know anything about building).
What can we do so they fix all the items from the report ?
Issues with builder?
Call the contractors license board in your state. But before you do that tell DR you are going to do this and they will fix it I assure you. You have a very good case the contractors board when and if it gets that far usually require an independent contractor to comment on the substandard issue and you already have this from the inspector. It might be helpful for more ammo to get the other issues evaluated by a licensed contractor in that area for example the concrete. Just call them up and tell them you would like to have them give you an estimate for your problem. They should be honest enough to tell you when they see the problem if it does in deed need fixed. If so you have more to present in your case. But honestly mentioning the Contractors board usually does it.
