The vast majority of home construction in the US is focused on minimum cost.
Some of it may look fancy, but underneath, even most of that is CHEAP.
There is CHEAP and there is efficient use of materials to meet the
design criteria. It is the latter around here mostly. But there are no
spec or tract houses. All custom homes. There are a few old school
contractors who pride themselves for over building. It only wastes
resources, adds cost and reduces the thermal efficiency of the house.
