Homes built by people, in my opinion, would be better constructed. My brother is a finish carpenter and does custom built staircases, bannisters and baseboards. Not to mention the bookcases and all kinds of things. The company he works for, even in the recession, still does not have to advertise and has 7 homes they are currently working on and more waiting. During the winter they work in shop to get all the custom jobs done to be ready for installation in the spring.
