Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n<p>If the recession taught U.S. home builders anything it was how to tighten their belts and get by with fewer resources: fewer employees, less land, less capital, and fewer buyers. They survived by cutting back and figuring out how to be as efficient as possible without sacrificing customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>Although the housing slump has subsided, many U.S. builders are still operating in a recession-era mindset. They work smarter than before the downturn, carefully considering where every dollar goes. They know from experience that customer demand is fickle, so they\u2019ve honed their marketing and customer service skills. And, they\u2019re embracing technology and building science in new ways to help keep costs down.<\/p>\n<p>Now that buyers are back, these lean builders\u2014especially private firms in smaller markets\u2014are wildly successful, with many enjoying off-the-charts growth over the past few years. Their explosive gains are the big story of this year\u2019s Builder 100 and Next 100 lists.<\/p>\n<p>Employee productivity is the key to these builders\u2019 prosperity. While Builder 100 companies averaged just under four closings per employee, the hardest-working firms\u2019 employees came in way over those numbers\u2014averaging nine, 11, even 17 closings for each person employed. The vitality of this group of firms is driving the industry as it sets the pace for the American economy: Combined revenue of all top 200 builders in the country grew 30% year over year, from $86 billion in 2015 to $112 billion last year.<\/p>\n<p>Who are these uber-productive builders, and what is their secret? \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.builderonline.com\/builder-100\/the-builder-100s-most-productive-firms_o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Click here to read the full article<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11631\" style=\"width: 365px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.builderonline.com\/builder-100\/the-builder-100s-most-productive-firms_o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11631\" class=\" wp-image-11631\" src=\"https:\/\/classichomes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Most-Productive-Home-Builders-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"355\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classichomes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Most-Productive-Home-Builders-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/classichomes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Most-Productive-Home-Builders-30x17.png 30w, https:\/\/classichomes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Most-Productive-Home-Builders.png 566w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11631\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.builderonline.com\/builder-100\/the-builder-100s-most-productive-firms_o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Builder Magazine Most Productive Builders 2017<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to employee productivity, Builder Magazine ranks Classic Homes 3rd in the Nation among the top 100 builders with the most productive employees.
