Hello all, I cannot tell you how happy I am to have found this board.
Though I do not know if it is appropriate or proper etiquette for me to request information from this form, any answers would be appreciated. I am not affiliated with this field and know very little about homes, which is why I am here.
By the way, I do understand that some people may shy away from delving into a conversation with details and specifics that are understood with years of work with someone who has never observed the topic for the benefit of both parties. But I do believe that I can absorb common sense hints, investigate good resources, and digest broad advice with broad answers.
Here is my issue.
I am purchasing my first home built by Pulte in Kansas. Only the foundation walls and basement floor are in, and there is a crack that runs almost twenty feet across the basement floor running from the front of the house to the back that graduates about four feet diagonal. The crack looks something like this.

Anyone that can tell me anything about Pulte, Kansas soil, the crack, hints of what else to look for, anything would be appreciated greatly. When I say greatly I mean I would sleep better if I had any knowledge ? good or bad ? about this situation. Even if you don't answer, thank you for reading my post.
