Additionally, the report comprehensively examines various custom-build models and definitions.

Regarding data, it presents an analysis of new research that includes the aspirations and expectations of prospective builders, information on the Right to Build registers, and the economic and energy advantages of constructing owner-commissioned homes compared to typical market-built housing. It also covers findings from NaCSBA’s Business Confidence Survey.
