This is the purpose of the mandatory home warranty program however the inefficiencies in that could provide lots of content for another thread.

In a roundabout way a big part of the solution is probably a housing system that's less commodified and with long-run price stability.
A decade or two of reasonably stagnant prices takes away some of the speculative frothiness that creates periods where anything will sell regardless of quality which discourages many builders and buyers from caring about some of these quality details. Force the market to be about build quality rather than just supply shortages.
Put another way, it's not that a junky house with poor build quality is itself the biggest issue, it's that a junky house with poor build quality costs $950,000.

This. I wish I could double like a post.
A good way to achieve a stable housing market is for the federal government to not import 3.2 million people within 4 years.

Really don’t see builds like this very often. Forget if this has been asked before, but is the concrete design including the exterior panels a requirement out if this being a specialized care facility? Is it just higher fire rating requirements that drive this?

I like the concrete look. It’s a fresh change from the usual hardie board.

That was a quick built. It looks sound and fire resistant. Glad someone is trying a new building method. Let’s see how it turns out.

I watched this office building go up in a similar manner:
The prefab concrete walls really cut down on construction time. Much nicer looking than the stacked ATCO trailers they built in the West end of DT.

Very interesting construction. Kinda surprised it's concrete though...
I remember that building as well. I used to work next to it at the time they were building it. I've seen this type of construction for commercial, but never for residential.I watched this office building go up in a similar manner:
