Production Builders: NAHB Has a Web Resource Page for You

NAHB has new business managment resources for production builders who build more than 25 homes a year. The resources can be found on the NAHB Web site at www.nahb.org/pb.

Production builders who build more than 25 homes a year now have an NAHB Web page for NAHB Business Management Resources — www.nahb.org/pb.

The page contains nearly 150 resources, and new resources are being added regularly. This resource is for NAHB members only.

Resources include specific strategies to increase margins, tools to measure your home building company’s progress, resources for hiring and retention and ideas to improve your business processes

Among the recently added members-only resources are:

New resources — including: how to sell more homes with the construction-perm (CP) product; how to make more money by controlling the mortgage finance process; building efficiencies through better technology; reducing financing costs; and maintaining business control with a mortgage joint venture — will be added later this year.

These resources are being added through the support of American Home Bank, which is working with NAHB’s Single Family Production Builders Committee to sponsor some of the Web section’s content.

More Ideas Wanted

Production builders who build more than 25 homes a year are invited to provide ideas for new business management tools that they would like to see added to the production builder resource page.

E-mail Natalie Holmes at NAHB, or call her at 800-368-5242 x8461 with ideas.
