The house lacked weep holes in the brick front facing. The insulation in the crawl space was improperly installed requiring me to have to have another contractor reinstall the mold vapor shield. In several areas of the house, the plumbing was slanted backwards leading to drainage problems. When I brought the drainage problems to their attention a year ago, I was told that because I had the problem fixed on a weekend (due to its emergency nature), I had not gone through the proper channels. When I contacted them after the inspection report, they informed my realtor that they would do nothing to fix these problems. While the house has a nice design, a builder should stand behind their work and remedy clear construction defects. The company hands out thick promotional materials on their commitment to building quality but they don't honor their commitment when their work fails to live up to that quality. The lack of weep holes in particular is a clear problem dating back to the construction of the home. If you are considering buying an MI home, I would strongly recommend that you get a thorough home inspection prior to closing. My realtor at the time told me that I could trust MI-nothing could be further from the truth.

Dave met with us and listened carefully to our wish list and dreams. He creatively designed plans for our mission/arts and crafts style that exceeded our hopes. We also met with Eldon, Josh and Craig. We especially appreciated their environmentally green approach to the entire process. The wood used for this project came from century old trees - oak, white oak and ash - that had fallen during storms in our area. The fireplace stone was limestone from nearby Stone City. The team of professionals were a delight to work with - true artisans and perfectionists! They work closely together with the client throughout the entire process, making adjustments as desired. We feel as though we now have fine works of quality art in our home that were individually designed and crafted for our personalities. The results are stunningly beautiful with a lovely story behind each project. It was a pleasure to work with such dedicated, creative and collaborative builders.

I am a single person living in a three bedroom house so my plumbing needs are not unusual. I sarted having problems with repeated backups in the plumbing line from the two toilets in my house. On one weekend, both toilets plugged up, backing up both my shower, two bathtubs, and two toilets. I had a plumber come out immediately as it would have been an unsafe health hazard to not address the situation immediately. The plumber informed me that the plumbing pipe had been laid incorrectly and was in fact slopping back into the house rather than away from the house. It took several hours to pump out the pipes. M/I refused to pay for the repair stating that the situation was not an emergency. At that point, I installed a higher powered toilet in an attempt to overcome the pipe problem. Unfortunately, the same problem reappeared a mere nine months later. This time, the plumber rippped the entire length of piping from the front of the house to the master bedroom in the rear of the house to ensure the proper slope of the piping. At this time, I was told that the original piping had not complied with the building code because there was an inadequate number of support struts supporting the original piping. When I contacted M/I to fix the issue, they replied that the problem did not qualify as a structural one. I have never worked with a builder who has been so unresponsive and so disinterested in keeping homeowners satisfied.

It also isn't claiming that the work was done incorrect by Bussanmas Heating and Cooling.
That being said...
I purchased a new home that had the heating/cooling done by Bussanmas. The builder gave the incorrect square footage to Bussanmas which in turn caused Bussanmas to install a smaller unit that then home needed. When I contacted Bussanmas they verified with the builder that the incorrect information was given and that they would be happy to visit with me about correcting the situation. I contacted the builder to let them know of what was going on and that since the mistake was the builders fault they that should incur the cost.
A week passed and I contacted Bussanmas to check when they would be out. The person I spoke with was extremely angry with me for contacting the builder. They then accused me of 'fabricating' information to the builder. Here were my exact words to my builder: "I also spoke with the heating and cooling people. They verified with "builder name" that the wrong AC unit was put in the house. They are contacting me this week to have this replaced. I will be notifying them that the bill should be sent to "builder". Just wanted to give you a heads up in case they contact you. You should be able to verify this with Bussanmas and "builder name".
Not sure what information could have been fabricated other than I said that they would be replacing the unit. Bussanmas told me over the phone that the unit was too small and it needed a bigger unit. They also said the cost would be around $200 - $300. To me, that meant that the unit needed to be replaced.
The Bussanmas person was very rude to me on the phone and was yelling at me. When I finally asked them to calm down and let me ask a questions they claimed that my unit was the correct size for the house. I was at a loss for words. I've never dealt with a person that was obviously trying to get out of something by pushing the blame on to me. I ended the phone conversation by saying that I didn't want to deal with Bussanmas and that I would give my business to another company."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ia/indianola/bussanmas-heating-and-cooling-reviews-6281117.htm"},"position":10}]}

Once building started it went pretty quickly. It took more than four months from signing the contract to completing the project. We were initially told that it would likely take about 4-6 weeks.

FAQs for treehouse building projects in Polk City, IA
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project.

You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average.

If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
