A production builder, as tract builders prefer to be called, emphasizes speed and ease of construction. This allows him to sell houses for much less money than a custom home builder charges. The production builder will only build the plans he offers. Some will modify their basic house, but most do not. The builder chooses the construction materials and finishes, you choose the colors and patterns. The basic house may be quite plain, but the builder offers many upgrades you can purchase to embellish it.
The world of production builders has changed dramatically in the last fifty years. No more one-size fits all. Today’s production builders offer small, large and in-between sized houses with options that allow buyers to customize their houses to a remarkable degree. |
