You can build a home in 2024 that will have life longer than your home it is just a matter of being willing to pay for it and find the right architect, engineer, GC, and subs to do the work.
I’d imagine the percentage of people actually doing this is very low. It’s all about throwing stuff together as fast as possible with prefabricated materials and low iq labor who simply don’t give a shite about what they are doing.

If you go back and look that is exactly what I said in my original post. Most houses today are built to a price point, not a standard. That doesn't mean that houses built to incredibly high standards can't be constructed today. Still, it will only happen if one is willing to spend the money and brings together a team with the same vision and ability to accomplish it.

Its actually worse than that...most localities INSIST on poor materials and questionable methods based on codes developed by people and organizations with a vested interest in local authorities insisting on poor materials and questionable methods. Do some research into arc fault breakers, Siemens, The National Fire Protection Code and the "increase" in safety resulting from arc fault breakers. To sum up no independent organization has ever found that they do what they are supposed to do but they do drive up the cost of wiring a home substantially and, as a nice ancillary benefit, result in lots of call backs after warranties expire. They also allowed Siemens to get in on the windfall that they missed out on with GFCIs.....
