A coworker in his 50s built his "retirement home" last year - a 2500 sq ft ranch on a slab. It was a miserable experience. Constant delays, major cost overruns, and nearly a year of revisions after they moved in (warranty claims) - including having to redo 1/3 of the laminate flooring because of damage during appliance delivery. He likes the house now but it was a stressful couple years for him.
It's crazy to think my parents built their 2000 sq ft home in 1992 and the contractor got it done <6 months, on budget, and there was not a single issue that required them going back to the builder afterwards. Times have changed around here.
