Production Building
Building A Production Home: The Advantages of Working With Buyers Advantage Group Realty
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.
The advantages of a Production Home Builder can be substantial for a home buyer. By buying a Production Home, the buyer benefits from the buying power of a Production Home Builder. Because a Production Home Builder builds from their library of home plans they are able to control costs and demand lower subcontractor pricing because of the volume of work. Sub-contractors are able to work more efficiently because of the repetition of the work to be installed thus saving time and material costs allowing for volume pricing to the builder. Pricing/costs an individual would not be able to secure.
A Realtor can be helpful to a home buyer who is interested in building a home if the Realtor understands the home construction process and knows what differentiates one builder from the other. Knowledgeable Realtors should advise their clients about builders who are known for quality construction (what's behind the walls as well as what's visible in the finished home), good customer service, and attention to detail. A knowledgeable Realtor understands what’s necessary to make the building process a success for everyone involved.

To determine if a Production Home Builder is right for you, a buyer needs to know what requirements are necessary in their next home in order to evaluate if a Production Home Builder will be a benefit to you.
Most new home buyers go with a production home builder in the area, but you should still research the builders for capabilities, quality, and potential problems other buyers have faced with a particular builder.
Several characteristics to investigate when selecting a builder are:
- Reputation. Look over the builder's reputation from it's client list and talk to clients in the neighborhood to see how happy they have been with the builders performance.
- Consider location. Make sure they actually build in your area regularly as some localities have intricate laws that a builder not from the area may miss, and cost you money. Location can delay the build process if the builder is only at the house once or twice a week.
- Type of Home. Do they build what you're wanting? Go with a builder who has built the style and design you desire.
- Compatibility. Frankly, do you "click" with the builder's personality? It's going to be a long, arduous process so make sure you actually like the people involved.
- Warranties. Your builder should be willing and able, to offer standardized warranties on your home.
- Financial stability. If it's going to take a year or more to build your house, will the builder still be in business?
- Financial strength. Yes, they're stable, but can they weather the ups and downs of the local economy? Will they be around in a couple of years when you may have questions about the construction?

Realtors work at their own risk. You don't typically pay for any services up front and agents are paid when you close on the home. That means you have no out-of-pocket expenses. Therefore, it's in your agent's best interest to work quickly, diligently, and to use all available resources to help you meet your goals. An EBA Agent does not cost you any additional fees and are generally paid through the transaction as any other agent is paid.
