What are some good house builders?

I know for condos, some companies like Tridel, Great Gulf have good reputation

But what are some good companies for house construction?

Don’t know about Tridel

But Great Gulf Homes … aka GREAT GRIEF HOMES
Were considered a crap builder when I lived in Ottawa in the 1990s

Crap houses … maybe crap condos too

Smaller but still reputable builders used to be "better" and existed over a decade ago: for example we had good experience with Ballantry Homes...

Others were OK like branthaven but grew in size/too many projects and quality declined. Also noticed they subcontracted more as they grew and lost control of their " product"...

Bottom line these days: hard to find especially since everything is subcontracted . (hence why I stated if one could find smaller builder that is building its reputation).

Fieldgate, Tribute, John Boddy, Sundial are a few in Durham.

My personal favorite is John Boddy (even though I don't live in one).

That was like 30 years ago dude. Great gulf is one of the premier builders for houses and condos. Not perfect but good.

I get the impression that most if not all 'builders' are merely suc contracting out to the various trades and simply control the project.

The site supervisor is the one who either does quality or is crap….

The builder is just a name with $$$$$$$$
