A full-time Builder, displaying a furnished model home, should have an average sales revenue of $1 million to over $1.5 million per year.
Yes, a few times a year, we offer a Builder School, a comprehensive program that trains new Builders on all phases of efficient home building utilizing a panelized component system. Our Regional Sales Managers also provide ongoing training as needed.
The return on investment in panelized homes is realized in scalability and efficiency. The expense of building a panelized home is in line with that of stick building. However, most Builders find they can build more houses in the same amount of time - building 10-20 homes per year, rather than five.

Corinth Construction - Wauwatosa, WI
I very much appreciate the synergy created by the different Amwood business units. From Marketing assistance when I ask for it, to the expert Design & Engineering that goes into every job, to quality-assured component Production, to the Field Crews, to the Delivery Drivers, and on to the Sales and Service support, I really feel like I get great value from the total Amwood Homes package.
Due North Homes - Osceola, WI
I wanted to grow my current company but wasn't sure how to scale with limited time and labor. Amwood was/is a perfect fit. In my first year, I was able to quadruple my gross sales. Having a team of drafting experts, engineering, and the labor, both physically and administrative, allows me to focus on the client experience. Even with the size of Amwood, I speak with the same estimator, drafting team, and they add a tremendous amount of detail to my process which not only saves time, but provides clarity to the budget. I was building one home a year and can realistically build 5 while not taking on any additional staff. Amwood has an incredible culture. The entire staff knows me by name at all of their functions. If there has ever been a challenge, anyone and everyone has been on board to resolve it. From my district representative to the owner, they truly show me they want me to be a success in my OWN business. I feel they want my name to be mine and they are here to support my individual business needs.
Elder Craftsmen - Holstein, IA
While this is unique to each Builder, a few potential challenges that a Builder may experience include:
Builder Learning Curve: While they are advantageous and beneficial, our processes, software programs and systems may be completely new and overwhelming for an unfamiliar Builder. However, we have the proper team in place to help you, every step of the way, to adjust and overcome any of those concerns! Change can be hard for anyone, so let us guide you along the way to an extremely successful journey as an Amwood Builder.
Marketplace Perception: Panelization and off-site construction can be easily misunderstood in the marketplace. To overcome this misconception, we encourage our Builders to be educated in our system, as well as display how they personally believe in our system and products to their customers. Our best-performing Builders are true advocates of Amwood building systems.
To help answer any questions you may have, please schedule a discovery call with a Regional Manager. We'll walk you through the process of working with us, and schedule you a plant tour to see firsthand the quality of our precision work. Whether you're just getting started or looking for opportunities of scale, let us provide the blueprint for a successful future as an authorized Amwood Home Builder!
