  We purchased a home in The Ridge (N Edmond). The price of our "plan" went up by over $15,000 a month after looking. We were told we would need to sign a contract to lock in a price - we stated we wanted to wait, and then the price went up. Most concerning, the price went up, but the included features went away. We demanded items be included (and won on that front) due to the ridiculous increase in price (it was blamed on "material" price increase... what a joke). The process started (and finished) roughly, with a number of issues and items that were incorrect. I don't have enough space to set forth each and every issue... they are that numerous. These items were pointed out on numerous occasions, but went ignored until about the 5th time they were pointed out and corrections were demanded. Once we were provided with a new contact, and new foreman (the other was fired half way through) the items did get corrected (thanks, Amy and Ryan), but it took way too much baby sitting with the original people. There is no work ethic in the homes, only quick crews paid the least amount of money possible to "get it done." We checked out the home at one point only to see four letter words written on drywall where mirrors were to be placed... high class crews there. At one point we were accused by the electrician that we were changing layouts of electrical... we never met with any electrician for electrical, and never moved any cookie cutter layout of electrical. Goes to show the types of crews this builder uses... cheaper the better. I can not and would not recommend this builder, as they look to cut corners and nickel and dime people along the way. Home did not appraise, and a number of issues are being found after closing, including a brand new microwave that does not work (had to have GE come out and repair), mortar that breaks apart when touched on the mantle, water that takes 5 minutes to get hot, and so on. Those are items just noticed 2 days into the home. We will see how the warranty goes, as well as the other issues that will show up. I can understand why the landowners around the neighborhood are angry with the builder, and will personally recommend they continue to hold out from working with him. Neighborhood is great... unfortunately the builder you must use is not. Q5 homes is owned by same.. so avoid Q5 and 4 Corners. With that said, I will add that Ryan, the new foreman, has made every attempt to fix everything, as did Amy. My impression is upper management and ownership is the problem - cheap, cheap and more cheap. In summary, the home just does not feel to have the quality it should for the price paid. Not even close. UPDATE: Frozen pipes in a brand new home... pipes that are NOT located on an exterior wall. Come to find out, after talking to a number of neighbors, this is a problem in a number of homes built by 4 Corners, both new homes and homes built in the past few years. Also discovered the "pre-wired" security system is not accurate at all. Had 2 security companies tell me the "pre-wiring" was the worst they had seen and could not use the wiring as done. Instead of being able to use the in-door sensors (in the doors that actually had them "pre-installed" - 2 doors did not) I was required to add additional sensors on the door in order to have a proper security system. Additionally, I discovered the upgraded mantle that we paid for is full of dents, scratches and cuts all over the top. The reason why? Because the brick fireplace was not installed properly (after arguing for months, 4 Corners finally agreed) and the mason had to remove bricks. He obviously left the mantle up as he ripped out brick and let it fall all over the top of the mantle. Rather than fix the mantle, it appears to have had a sharpie or something else applied in an attempt to cover up the damage. I'll continue to update as we go... we are 16 days in the home at this point.
