Volume Builder Pros:
Offers very competitive prices that are difficult to beat. They buy in bulk which means they get large discounts on their materials. They also get good trade rates as they can provided constant and ongoing work.

Volume Builder Cons:
A good percentage of a volume builders profit is made through variations. Anything that you decide that you want to change after you have signed the contract is going attract a application fee for a variation (approx $500) and a large premium on the actual variation. Make sure you have nutted out the inclusions list as much as possible and don?t leave any decisions till later.
For example: Even if the variation is just a minor one like putting in an extra light or power point it will cost you around $700-$800 with a volume builder whereas a local builder will put it in and might not even charge you for it.
If you want a bit of flexibility when building then your overall cost can blow out much more with a volume builder.
A volume builders advertised price will not include things like: site costs, class H slab, flooring, driveway etc. So make sure you ask what is included because come contract signing time you might get a bit of a nasty surprise.

Local Builder Pros:
Can also offer very competitive prices as they have much less overheads than the volume builders ? Advertising costs like tv commercials, running of several display houses, number of employees, office costs etc. all stack up for a volume builder as compared to your local builder.
You will get more for what you pay for with a local builder both in terms of quality and inclusions:
- Local builder has much less turnover of houses and will be onsite and actually building the house so you have a qualified builder constructing your house as opposed to a hired site supervisor. This will usually translate into a better quality house.
- Local builder will is more likely to have more inclusions in his base price as compared to a volume builder.
A local builder will be more open to negotiations in terms of price so if you want to go with a certain builder but think they are too expensive then simply find a cheaper price and show them. They are much more likely to give you a cheaper price if they see the competition is offering a better deal.
It always helps to get lots of quotes and compare. Its not always just about price but also about who gives you the most confidence. Do your research and try to get both anyway!!

Local Builder Cons:
What a local builder charges can vary vastly. It will be anywhere from $7,500 per square to $10,000 per square which is a big difference in the overall cost. To get an idea ask approximately how much they charge per square, why and what is included in that price.

The largest manufacturers of heavy construction equipment are located in the United States, Japan, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. Whereas the second largest and less competitive manufacturers of heavy construction equipment are found in Canada, China, Russia, Latin America, South Korea, Italy, Belgium and Sweden. Yet this position can shift easily with today’s ever changing market trends and with developing countries being able to attract heavy construction equipment manufacturers by offering low material and labor costs.

The global demand of heavy construction equipment is widespread and on a large-scale of production with almost thirty percent entering the foreign market every year. This market has been defined by the major flows among the already developed countries and by the large-scale importing by the developing countries with little domestic production.

Next to the United States, Japan has been the dominant net exporter of heavy construction equipment with Germany and the United Kingdom following close behind. The United States is also a major importer of heavy construction equipment, importing in ample amounts and running a moderate sized trade surplus. In a developing world and given the variety of construction equipment prevailing in major geographic regions and even in individual countries, it’s typical for heavy construction equipment to find some use by private contractors and public agencies as well. Purchasing used heavy construction equipment is also an option.

Production designs and manufacturing technology for heavy construction equipment are well established and are making advances on a regular basis. Tractors, loaders, mixers, cranes and other heavy construction equipment containing automatic transmissions, electric controls, engine monitoring systems and many can now be programmed to repeat the same cycles. Other advances to enhance operator comfort are air conditioned cabs, tilting steering wheels and noise reduction devices.

The global heavy construction equipment industry primarily consists of almost one thousand companies, with smaller businesses specializing in small equipment, e.g. parts and attachments. Some of the major manufacturers include: Caterpillar, Komatsu, Case, Volvo, Deere, New Holland and Hitachi. All heavy construction equipment manufacturers must plan strategically and decide whether their company will continue to expand and stay strong or whether their company should draw back, perhaps sell out and abandon the industry. These decisions have many companies choosing to form partnerships with other companies as an effort to flourish and continue on, as Caterpillar had fused with New Holland to form CNH, Inc. The emphasis is on cost-cutting, competitiveness and down sizing.

There is an increased emphasis on research and development, making the manufacturers of heavy construction equipment seek a competitive edge in many ways. With Caterpillar and Komatsu, for example, being two of the leading producers and spending the most on research and development by using computer design along with manufacturer systems. As technology develops, all major manufacturers of heavy construction equipment will find new and improved way to test and improve their products to stay one step ahead in the competition.
