Do you offer training for both me and my employees?

We offer a full range of training for each of the Job Descriptions of personnel in your building company. These programs are provided by our Learning and Development team via video programs, virtual webinars, group meetings, as well as, in person visits to your office.

Do I need to have prior experience in home building or home design?

The majority of our franchisees are owners of small to medium sized custom building companies or former executives of regional or national large builders. Some of these franchisees are not involved in the day to day operations of their companies and hire an experienced manager as a Building Company President. If you wish to invest in a franchise and have no homebuilding experience, we will help you select an experienced manager to run the day to day operation of the franchise.
