You buy new construction, but still have to buy homeowner's and flood insurance. Why can't the contractor just guarantee that the house was built well enough to withstand those things?

And before you say, "Because the contractor can't stop a natural disaster," please recall my point that the attorney can't stop fraud that happens post-closing (nor fraud that happens pre-closing, of which I gave examples).
