My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    The floor had cracks in several spots and they were filled with a special bonding agent. Cracks cannot really be prevented, especially not in California, where the ground moves constantly. Personally I don't mind the cracks since they add to the character of the floor.
