You guys don't think the Q5 description fits better than Q4? Minimum building code and inexpensive, stock materials?

Can you guys show me an example of new construction Q5?

I think The Bob's 2nd paragraph says it all. To add to it, the dwelling has a laundry room where a Q5 would have it in the garage, if at all.

Q4 is still stock, builder grade materials.

I have never looked at the Q & C ratings being absolute. There is a range within each rating. Mid to lower upper range of Q4 for the above

For sure. But if the first house is not minimum code construction then I don't know what is. Trying to figure it out.

Once again, this is only going by photos however, it appears a significant upgrade to the initial dwelling you posted.

Q3 Rating:

Dwellings with this quality rating are residences of higher quality built from individual or readily available designer plans in above-standard residential tract developments or on an individual property owner’s site. The design includes significant exterior ornamentation and interiors that are well finished. The workmanship exceeds acceptable standards and many materials and finishes throughout the dwelling have been upgraded from “stock” standards.

There's a lot of grey area with these ratings...imo this qualifies for a Q3. You could add crown molding or different flooring/ cabinet material, a different floorplan, layout, etc. and it'd still be a Q3. This appears to be the start of Q3.

I think the reason you don't see any Q5 new construction is that the builder knows he will get a better return with updates that really don't add a lot more to the cost.

All of those features present in the house you first posted have a synergistic affect....the added value is more than the added costs.
