Your builder may not be tensioning the spokes properly. The spokes will twist when the nipple is turned so all will appear to be fine after the build. The first time you ride the spokes will un-twist and the wheel will go out of true. Sheldon brown has a great description on turning the nipples past the proper tension then turning them back to untwist the spoke.
Enjoy
