We just purchased a brand new house. Should the builders provide things such as a mail box?

Just wondering what exactly their obligations are and what they need to provide for us…We were just informed by the post office that the mail box next to the door is inadequate, and we need one by the curb. Is it the builders obligation to have this put in for us?

How much profit do home builders make off of sold homes?

Hi everybody-

I am looking into starting my own home building business but am trying to work with some numbers, specifically the average profit that self employed home builders can expect to make.

For example, if you sell a home for $400,000 how much was spent on the actual construction of the home and thus how much profit does the builder accrue?

Does anybody have any insight on this topic?
Thanks so much!

How much do custom home builders charge?

January 11th, 2008
HelpfulGuy208646 asked:


I have some acreage where I want to build a custom home, approx 7 to 10,000 sq ft. If I choose a decent, reputed builder for the job, how much do you think it would cost to build such a home since I already own the land?

Also, does it matter where the house is being built? The land is in an expensive area, so i’m concerned that these builders might charge more due to that fact.

Percs (permits etc) and financing have already been obtained.
