We built and would never ever ever do it again with the particular builder we chose, even if they were the last builder on earth!!!!!! It isn't the one you like, but it is one you mentioned. Saying that, we plan to build again, just with someone else.
Biggest tip I can give you is stay on them. If you think something isn't right, tell them. We ignored their rules of we weren't allowed on the property until they gave us the keys, and every time we arrived, something else was wrong, so keep checking - it'll save you a lot of stress in the long run. Document everything and make sure if someone tells you something - get their name. We would've been about $30K out of pocket if we hadn't documented names and the rubbish they told us. Good luck. There is nothing better than walking into your own home, where you have picked everything and knowing that nobody has lived there before.
Everyone else has already given great advice but definitely make sure you get a firm list of whats included and whats not included in any prices they give you. We ended up going a little over budget because I didn't like any of the tiles that were within our package deal, I also didn't want those plastic rubber things they use to join carpet and tiles (I'm a fussy little so and so ) so we had to pay extra for a some invisible metal joining thingo lol Anyway, my point is make sure you know clearly whats included and what that actually means.
