I have read complaints on that builder before but can't recall what
state it was in, so not sure if it was the same company.  Either way,
you should check out the home construction investigation series at the
Orlando Sentinel and WESH TV, your mom's builder may be listed:

 (and) http://www.wesh.com/2investigates/   I have never had to pay
the utilities in a new house while it was under construction.  All
three new homes i've had were in different states, none were in FL. 
Not sure what's "normal" where you are.  Good luck to your mom.
