When you click on Lennar’s link-3rd largest builder, Centex pops up. You might have to change this to corresponds to Lennar Homes, not Centex.
Just because a house builder (yes, I said HOUSE, not HOME) is large doesn't mean it builds good houses or is a responsible member of the community. We could easily look at this top ten list as the top ten most wanted culprits in the epidemic of sprawl plaguing the country. Beazer is currently being investigated by the SEC–see this link: http://realestate.msn.com/Buying/Article_busweek…. A lot of the large builders have reputations, whether deserved or not, for putting up shoddy construction. Get in the basement and check out the joists. Ask whether they use nails or screws to hang drywall. Get educated. Choosing a house based on the size of the builder is ridiculous. In this case, size doesn't matter.
Homes builders use bait and switch when you buy your house.
You have very little proof that the all the homes parts are what you paid for. They are always changing manufacturers and never show you the options list.
What you see on one house, you may not see on another.
Simple things like framing in the toilets closet (the part of the bathroom that encloses the toilet with a door in a small room).
I was told that my house model was different. The Drees builders made the door swing into the toilet room. It was like going into a public bathroom stall with little clearance to shut the door and not rub up against the toilet.
Drees' customer service motto is to deny, explain away, and give excuses. They never once in my home buying experience stepped up to the plate and took responsibility. It was a hassle for every little or otherwise to get rectified.
Could anyone let me know where these top 10 companies of USA participate in the Exhibition. I would appreciate for the answer.

How many houses do you build in a year, average.
Re: Layla's comment: " didn’t realize there were such big home builders in the country."
It's all about perspective. 51,383 is a lot of houses. But each year the US has over 1.5 MILLION new housing starts. In 2005 (when these numbers come from), it was over 2 million. Horton's 50,000 out of 2,000,000 is a 2.5% market share.
By comparison, General Motors has a 20% market share in cars. The top ten home builders don't quite make it to 300,000 houses between them (top ten market share: 15%). The top ten car manufacturers make about 95% of the cars and trucks on the road.
Some industries are very concentrated: cigarettes are made by about 3 companies. There are 4 big corporate accounting firms. Only a handful of oil companies, telephone carriers, etc. Coca Cola and Pepsi dominate the soft beverage market (including orange juice and bottled water). Just two companies, MillerCoors (28%) and Budweiser (49%), make most of the beer in the US.
Home building is a classic example of a fragmented industry, lots of mom and pop companies, and even private owners building their houses themselves. Sure, some people roll their own cigarettes, or drink microbrew. Some even build cars from custom kits. Most don't. But most Americans have put their trust in small (often family-owned) businesses when it comes to building houses.
