What Is a Production Home Builder?

By , About.com Guide

Definition:

A Production Home Builder builds houses, townhouses, condos, and rental properties on land that is owned by the building firm. Using stock plans, the Production Home Builder will construct a large number of buildings each year. Often homes may be customized by selecting a variety of options, but the homes are not truly Custom Homes.

Production Home Builders do not generally undertake construction of unique, architect-designed custom homes. Also, Production Home Builders will not usually use construction plans other than the ones selected by the building firm.

Examples:

Suburban housing subdivisions are usually developed by Production Home Builders.
