The builder will not cover mold problems arising from the construction of his home. It states "seller hereby informs buyer that organisms commonly referred to as "mold" may be present in the newly constructed home at the time of buyers initial occupany, or, if not present at the time of buyers initial occupancy can may later develop within †he interior of that home. This home is neither constructed or warranted to be free of mold or other natually occuring biological impurities"

I imagine that is very common among smart builders. Mold can be a very expensive problem to resolve (sometimes cannot be resolved) and comes about for many different reasons.
A builder must protect his business just like anyone else. Would it be feasible for a doctor to guarantee you will never develop an STD?

That is common contractual language used by various builders these days, given the huge lawsuits which have occurred over mold infestations. Well constructed homes generally do not have mold issues, but if they do, they are also generally beyond the control of the builder. Molds are a naturally occurring spore, and they do not ask permission to invade a house. However, they also do not grow well in homes which are properly constructed and do not have excess moisture. The levels of moisture in a house are many times beyond the control of the builder, since he has no control over the living habits of the dwellers, and how much moisture they create.
