Rank the Builders by Quality

[Terrel L. Shields]

VOTE FOR THE BEST ONE BUT IN COMMENTS RANK THEM FROM WORST TO BEST -- GOT OTHER CHOICES? YOU CAN DO THAT IN THE COMMENTS.

Toll Brothers is not in the same class as the others unless they changed it was better quality and much more expensive. KB is the best large tract builder.

 

[Terrel L. Shields]

I would say Lennar might be the worst with Horton running a close second.

Out here both of those have bad similar reputations.

They are all about the same except for Toll Brothers.

It might depend upon the regional construction manager or perhaps the competition. Here Horton has started selling and they are cheap lousy homes. We have a small builder that builds something similar at similar price but will be brick veneer exterior and tile floors with carpet in the bedrooms. And a somewhat larger firm Rausch-Coleman who build a lot better houses - better in terms of the workmanship more than materials. Rausch is the son of a Cert. Gen appraiser who used to sit on our state board, and they are excellent developers at the low entry level. The trusses will be properly nailed. The plumbing will work. The AC and electrical will work. Cannot say the same for Horton. And we have a couple of Horton subdivisions where the hardboard siding looks like a washboard road on its side. Not impressed.

Agree out here Lewis Homes was the big one a private company who finally sold out years ago to KB. The construction supervisors can make all the difference in the world regarding quality.

No Lennar or KB around here. Pulte is by far the largest production builder around here. Horton is trying to make inroads and there subdivisions sell about as fast as other builders. But of course they are somewhat more "affordable". We have a number of regional and local production builders. Ryan, MI, Rockford, Fischer and a few smaller ones. Numerous local custom home builders. A few that develop high end subdivisions here and there
