Probably shouldn’t have passed on the home inspection before buying. That was a deliberate choice they made.Â
Never skip them. They have saved myself and those I know from similar situations. Bought my last place in ’21, no issues and the market was stupid competitive.

I don’t think a house inspection would know the foundation couldn’t carry the weight of the home. People don’t hire engineering firms to do that type of assessment when buying a brand new house.
I’d be pretty bloody nervous if I was im one of the other homes in that subdivision because there’s definitely others who will or do have the same issues.
Their lawsuit is right though, how the frig did any of this pass to begin with?! The builder and designer cheaped out so hard that a year old home is buckling under it’s own weight! That’s insane… the poor guy was a trucker ffs, like this stress and finally having a home in their 50s is just so sad.
I hope they win, there’s not much to argue really!

Unfortunately, stories like these will become more common with the rush to build more homes faster. Builders will cut corners and this is the result.
