new const business crew & # projects

[Matthew Banks]

Our company is looking to venture into new construction.

Do most small homebuilders (<25 homes per year) have any full-time crew or do they hire all independent contractors for each trade?

What is the minimum crew size we'd need to plan for and what the minimum # of builds we might need to plan to keep a crew active in a given year. Assume a 2000 sq ft house $500-600k range.

Really appreciate feedback from anyone here with building experience.

thanks!
