Expert Insights on Homebuilding Industry

Homebuilding encompasses developers and related entities that primarily construct new detached single-family housing in suburban locations. Production homebuilders acquire large tracts of unimproved land and utilize mass-production techniques to construct new homes and create large residential communities. The homes are typically offered as individual units for sale only. Major homebuilders include KB Home, Centex Corporation, D.R. Horton, The Ryland Group, Toll Brothers, Inc., Pulte and Shea Homes.

Gerson Lehrman Group Council Members are available to discuss Homebuilding Industry via phone consultations, live meetings, surveys, and other custom GLG products and services.
