I was able to install Qubes from source using Qubes Builder. But how do I install Qubes updates from source, for dom0 and the fedora and debian templates? I do not want to have to trust precompiled binaries from the Qubes repo.

Thank you

Just build the packages in qubes-builder, copy them in to dom0 or
template, and manually install them there.
All the packages are signed, of course.
Is there something wrong with the validation process that you can see?
If you dont trust the precompiled binaries, why do you trust the code,
and the build mechanism?
