In Part One, students explore a variety of topics related to production homebuilding business practices, including the residential industry, careers in homebuilding, the land and lot acquisition process, and the vision and design process for land planning. Students learn about the roles of the production homebuilder, construction-sales team, architectural group, and purchasing department. Additional chapters address IT solutions for homebuilders; the starts, home delivery, and home warranty processes; and the homebuilders association. Part Two provides students with a residential construction manual, which guides them through the 13 stages of homebuilding, from the starts process to the slab stage to the cornice and shingles stage to the final grade stage and ending with signoffs and the buyer walkthrough. Eight companion photo tours provide students with essential visual aids and an insider perspective of the process.
Featuring all the information needed to satisfy ACCE accreditation standards, The Production Homebuilder is an ideal resource for construction students as well as recent graduates in the field.
