better-built
Superior in construction
Better-built describes something constructed with superior quality, durability, or craftsmanship compared to alternatives: The better-built homes survived the storm.
Often used in advertising to suggest premium construction: a better-built truck.
The hyphen typically appears when the phrase precedes a noun; without it, the words function separately: This model is better built than the last.
