Question on 'as well as' as a comparative adverb

Hi teachers,
In sentence 'a', as well as is a comparative adverb, but I don't see it very well. Shouldn't the sentence be, 'Flash's workers don't build houses as well as Carter’s'.
Flash’s houses aren’t built as well as Carter’s.

Thanks in advance.

The only difference I see between the sentences is the active vs. passive voice.

Sorry I just added that information. So, even though it is in passive, still a 'comparative adverb'. Right?

Yes, this sentence is in the passive voice. Here "as well as" functions as a comparative adverb (comparison of equality). Its meaning here is that Flash's houses are built less well than Carter's.
