      Not in my area. They are called contractors. Most do very little of the work anymore and then sub out the rest! And we wonder why things costs so much.Every time you sub-out work, you have to add a mark-up plus a profit! Houses can be built for 20-30% less than they are being sold now-a-days.

          Very few home builders actually build anything, every detail except the contract negotiation is subbed out and even that is subbed out sometimes ... You can make decent money as a sub without the 50 million headaches of actually running a business ..

            Haha....I am one of those subs! The market is still tough down here but getting better. The builder I work for has seen a drastic increase the last 2 years. The wealthy are investing in funds that heavily invest in the construction trade. He built 100 houses in 2014, 200 this year, and expects to build 500 next year. We all had to sharpen our pencil the last 2 years but now the demand for subs is going to get us some good price increases.

            btw.....if you didn't design and build a deck, would you be considered a deck builder?

                    I design and build everything in house , specializing in curved elements such as stairs, rails , beams , raised panel archways you name it. If you have money and you demand the best in your man. And yes every single day I personally build projects and components in the shop. Every single item on my sites is designed , planned and micro managed by me . Just like the example i gave of the guys not personally fabricating their own chassis is the same reason I don't build houses. There's no money in it and the risk vs reward isn't there.

I am sure Barry Wright, Tader Masters and Mark Richards have built chassis the same as Clements, Cornett, Hill, Scheilper, Draime and Mr. Rumbley have built engines. Put a pile of tubing in front of Barry Wright, Tader Master or Mark Richards and they can build you a chassis. Put same pile of tubing in front of Stuckey, Lanigan, Bloomquist or Moyer and it will still be a pile a year from now. Put a pile of engine parts in front of Mr. Rumbley and it will be an engine that can win the World 100.
                        I can't take it anymore. You freaking morons act like you know so much about the Rumley's you can't even spell their name right. It's RUMLEY you jack a$$. Now get it right or don't say anything!
