I did some googling, but couldn’t find an answer with substance to it.
Like, it’s hard enough to find a decent contractor for your home, and many people have stories of things being done incorrectly or discovering that some part of their professionally built home was problematic. I’m struggling to understand how good quality homes get built by volunteers who aren’t even required to have construction experience.

My father volunteered and was a project manager for hfh. He taught at the local trade school, so he had access to students to do electrical, plumbing and drywall tasks during the week. On the weekends, the “public” volunteers came and did basic work like pre painting siding, moving materials and other “grunt” work.
Some workers just knew how to swing hammers, whereas he would measure and send the numbers to the cutting team. It helped that the houses he was working on were post and pier construction and single story. I think the houses were smaller two or three bedroom houses with standard plans, not huge 20 bedroom custom mansions.
