A list of leading contractors for new home construction in Texas during the month of November 2021
Earlier this week, we reviewed HBW construction data reports to gain insight on new permit data for residential construction in the four major metro areas of Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. Today, we are utilizing the same reports to identify the leading contractors behind those figures that are driving new home construction activity throughout Texas.
When looking at the combined total of new permits statewide, there are three major players in the industry that are leading new residential construction in the Lone Star State. Along with D.R. Horton continuing to dominate Texas when it comes to new home construction, nearly 35 percent of all new permits on record for November originated from three mega-builders: D.R. Horton (1,575 permits), Lennar Homes (464 permits) and Pulte Homes (390 permits).
Taking a closer look at each metro area, we find that aside from the three industry leaders, there are a number of contractors that are holding strong in the market and contributing to increased residential construction across the state. Here are the five leading home builders in each of the four major metropolitan areas of Texas during the month of November 2021:
