I’m sure there’s someone out there who would build that way but it would have to be specifically designed and engineered that way from the beginning. That stuff isn’t up to the contractor. And very few (if any) home buyers would want to pay for that design much less the construction which if we are being honest would likely price the home out of the resale market as well.
Finally, an airtight home is a really (really) bad idea. Buildings have to breathe

The contractor does what they're told. I've built two houses that were "energy star certified" in the last 15 years. None of that prevented one of the subs from installing a fireplace vent which sloped downwards at about 15 degrees before hitting the vent, which the super didn't see, but I did.
David Weekly Highland, Partners in Building, etc., are all fine, it depends on the super that is supervising the work. You are the ultimate supervisor. You get the inspection done before you sign off.
