Rowdy,
I feel the same about some builders. My sister-in-law is having a house built by a large national builder. The only options available are recessed lights,ceiling fans, receptacles, additional phone or cable tv. The way these are priced makes it hard to justify. $75 to $100 per addtl receptacle, $100 per phone or TV. No mention is made if these are CAT5 or whether they are all home runs. No option for structured wiring etc.
Her house will be almost obsolete before she moves in. Whose fault is this? The customer that doesn't know what is available, the builder with no time in the schedule for any deviation from the 3 day rough-in or the electrical contractor for not pushing for what is better in the long run? Any thoughts?
Jim
