Quality (in relation to home construction) is a reference to how expensive the interior finishes are, and to a lesser degree, some of the construction methods (insulation, building materials, and the such).

Higher quality construction costs more because they use more expensive materials and the home is finished more lavish. So the more expensive homes are usually higher quality by default.

Whether the house is built ok or not isn't an issue of quality but an issue of construction defects. No house - no matter how low the quality level is - should have the toilet fall through the floor or other defects in construction. A shoddy builder can have defects in a low-quality house (i.e., Polygon) just as easily as a high-quality house (i.e., one with a bowling alley.)

Default I got a Belmark home - OK so far.

I just bought a Belmark home in Bothell. It's still under construction but will be complete in a few weeks. I chose them because they have good value for money - the price is reasonable and it doesn't feel like they cut corners too much to get that price.

So far it looks like they are doing a really good job with the construction. My dad builds houses and is pretty impressed with the work they are doing and the materials they use.
They have also been pretty flexible with allowing us to make changes to the plans and trim levels. (The trim level they selected for the neighborhood seems appropriate for the target market - all houses come with granite kitchens by default, but you get linoleum for upstairs bathroom floors. You can negotiate or pay for upgrades. Otherwise the various trims and fixtures look pretty decent. )

Also, the neighborhood has a nice consistent look.


Belmark appears to be a smaller scale builder, but maybe that means they try that much harder...
