About Custom Builder
Custom Builder is the go-to editorial resource for builders and their architect and design partners who are navigating the complexities of one-of-a-kind luxury homes. Our coverage blends design innovation, business intelligence, and construction stewardship, reflecting the full ecosystem builders manage every day.
We’re positioned at the center of the builder-architect-client triangle, prioritizing builders as project leaders while incorporating architect and designer perspectives to foster collaboration and elevate the entire custom home ecosystem.
As a sister publication to Pro Builder and part of the Buildings & Construction Group at Endeavor Business Media, our coverage includes standout projects, builder-designer dynamics, material and product innovations, and the people bringing complex homes to life.
Our Mission:
To support you in building smarter, designing better, and leading with purpose.
