As a developer, you’re likely wrestling with builders in the marketplace to reach or keep your lot values where they need to be. Most developers have considered becoming builders to solve this issue and maximize returns. Once established as a builder, the benefits are obvious but getting a homebuilding division up and running can be a monumental task. When considering this, developers are faced with the fact that they would need to integrate a lot of new moving parts into their organization and managing all of that can be daunting and expensive.
BNC offers a solution to this problem by providing the services that a large production homebuilder would typically staff internally. Rather than employing your own in-house draftsman, purchasing department, systems programmers and designers, BNC handles all of that outsourced to provide you a turn-key, build ready package.
Because BNC is providing these services for many different builders, you’re able to buy at bulk pricing and achieve efficiencies that most builders can not meet on their own. With BNC, you can dramatically reduce the time and costs associated with getting a home building operation up and running.
Our existing build-ready homes will allow you to get started at little to no upfront cost. For others that have specific requirements we can incorporate a builder’s existing product inventory or develop a new product inventory to suit any market, demographic and price point. Prices for these services vary based on scale and complexity.
