As far as this industry is concerned, the word “normal” seems to have been removed from the dictionary.
We stand in an age where unprecedented consumer appreciation toward our product meets economic, social, and political conditions that some believe temper potential buyers’ willingness to pull the trigger. Alongside those forces is technology, whose evolution is presenting more solutions than ever to just about any problem you can throw at it. Business owners must ride the positive while navigating around the negative with more speediness, agility, and nuance.
Fortunately, the industry is full of leaders who are up to the challenge. In the construction segment, nobody exemplifies this more than our PSN and Hayward Top 50 Builders.
As you turn the pages of our annual Top 50 Builders issue, you’ll find companies that more than pass muster in our five pillars against which entrants are measured: residential construction revenue; management and training; industry participation; internet presence; and community involvement. Learn the vital stats on each of our 50 firms, along with a retrospective of how a key subset of the Top 50 performed over the past five years, and a survey where these builders share their progress, attitudes, and strategies for dealing with the times. Finally, each company honors a Most Valuable Person within their team.
Turn the page to learn who took their places in this exemplary group and why.
