Both systems can be gamed by cagey employees. I've seen some really s****y work that was obviously done by those being paid "by the piece".

Dave, since any sloppy work has to be redone free of charge, since they already got paid for the job, I'm betting it was one of those hourly guys. Wink, I'm not referring to any particular company; more in general to new homebuilders, who only seem to want to "get'r done and get'r sold". I've seen (and I'm betting every hair on your head and mine, that you have too) lots of short cuts/lazy work that save a few minutes or a few cents. As my wise brother would say (tongue in cheek) "quality cuts into profits". Unfortunately, it's a motto for some builders.

Dave, unfortunately I know exactly what you are talking about. We have seen some of the most incredibly crappy construction on some very expensive homes. In one particular case, I could look right through the basement wall, above the brick, into the customer's backyard. In this case the mice were chewing on the front room rug while the owner was wintering in Arizona.
At least it taught me a lesson. When we built the home we are living in now, we asked the same builder that built our last home to build this one. I have never been known for intelligent decisions, but that was a good one!
