Buyers sometimes say they want the "very best" homebuilder in the business to build their new home. The problem with that statement is that there is no one best builder or even one best type of builder for all buyers or even all homes. The truth is that some builders are a better fit than others are with certain types of buyers and certain types of homes. That means a builder who is highly recommended by a friend or a relative of yours might not be the best builder for your home.

  • General contractors
    Some builders construct many type of homes, but most specialize in a particular type, size or style. While large-volume production builders may construct hundreds of homes in a year, small-volume production builders work on fewer projects.


  • Spec builders
    Spec builders design and build homes to be sold during construction or upon completion. General contractors typically build pre-planned homes while design/build contractors provide both design and construction services.


Most home buyers who want their own home individually built and designed select a builder who specializes in custom homes. These companies tend to be smaller in size and usually build far fewer homes than those that build production or tract homes. Most smaller building companies are operated by the owner, which means you'll be working with them personally or a key employee. Occasionally, a custom or semi-custom home building company can become quite large and you may not receive as much personal attention from the company owner.
