My friend is in the market for a new home and doesn't have
a clue what to look for with respect to the quality of the
building.  What he wants to avoid is problems that will
happen down the road because he didn't know any better now.

For example, one friend suggested to him to be very careful
with the quality of the floor.  Most builders cut corners by
using particle board which has a bad reputation for creaking
after a few years.  To avoid this he should have the floor
upgraded during construction.

If anyone has any tips to help us out, please E-mail me or post
a followup to this newsgroup.
