State by State Builders (352)

Listings here are for builders, developers and construction managers. Its not a fancy search engine, because you don't need one. It's by no means a complete list, but as far as I can tell, I have more builder listings here in one spot, than anywhere else on the net, and its pretty easy to find what you want. Builders operating in more than 3 states are listed in the multistate section. Builders operating in more than 10 states are listed in the National section. The * indicates builders who are also on the Builder 100 list. Also, please note that I just list them, I don't recommend them. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who buys a home from a builder because they found him on the net, and doesn't bother to check him out any further, gets what they deserve. I'm sure all the quality builders out there will agree.
