It always builds in the same location. That can be changed but it's not clear what you want exactly.

Do you mean build in the "same folder" as project?

Can you explain a bit more?

Currently it is building into a temp location that changes and is hard to find sometimes.  I would like to force it to build in the same location in my documents.

The location doesn't change. You can switch on "vMicro>Compiler>Show Build folder". That gives a CTRL+Click link in the build output making the folder easy to access.

There is also a "vMicro>Compiler>Build in project folder" but that is more complicated than it sounds and should be avoided. You don't want the build anywhere near the real code for many reasons.

The normal build folder is the best solution. If you want the core to build to the same location then switch off "vMicro>Compiler>Shared Cores"

There are also a tools>options>visual micro>temp build folder settings that allow you to override the built in compiler temp folders.

In all cases try to use the standard system and certainly avoid the compiler working below the project folder. It will cause a lot of confusion and if configured incorrectly can affect live code.
