From a capability perspective (IE, not a legal one) age is not important. The only reason it would be, was if you were using it as a stereotypical way to sort out unqualified builders right off of the bat.

I think a more relevant question, in terms of skill, would be "Does this person SEEM too young?" If someone is applying for a position that requires proper writing skills then it seems fair to use their application as a writing example. If you get the impression that the person writing it is a child, then that may be someone you want to pass on.

So my advice, is assume the samples are going to be the finished product. That is, they will require serious editing. At that point, you might as well build the zone yourself.
