Management Practices of Residential Construction Companies Producing 25 or Fewer Units Annually
The majority of home building companies in the United States produce fewer than 25 homes per year. To better understand the management practices of home builders who reportedly build 11 to 25 homes per year, a survey was mailed to 1,114 of these residential contractors who were randomly selected from the membership rolls of the National Association of Home Builders. This research report summarizes the responses received. Topics of interest addressed by the survey included construction management, accounting and planning, scheduling and estimating methods, software usage, and customer and employee relations. Most of the respondents reported excellent relationships with clients; however, relationships with employees, subcontractors, and suppliers did not seem to be as strong. It is interesting to note that some tasks, which are easily automated, such as scheduling and estimating, were usually completed by hand. The results of other findings are also discussed in detail.
