  1. Contractor Built Homes are put together in the cheapest fastest way possible. When I was looking for another home in the Carolinas about 20 years ago I was shocked to see that they were stapling OSB panels onto 2x4 external walls. No one of these homes fall over when the wind blows. I constructed my own home over many years using lag bolts and other unusual methods of attaching Hardwoods together to make a rigid yet resilient structure that would withstand earthquakes tornadoes and even a nuclear bomb at a mile distance. In 2018 we actually had four tornadoes come across the area. We were the only ones that didn't sustain damage whereas all the neighbors houses had to be condemned and rebuilt. It's all a matter of how you construct. Cement block walls are strong up to a point but when they fail it's sudden. The only thing better would be a poured concrete structure that is loaded with rebar. Very expensive though.
