About The Owner/Builder Network

Owner Builder Network is best described as a team of experts helping clients... Be their own builder.
Owner Builder Network was founded outside of Houston Texas in 1997. A good builder today is someone that has connections with contractors and suppliers. With Owner Builder Network clients are in control. They will know exactly what is going into their home. They will know who is and isn't getting paid on their investment and why. The money they save by getting more than one bid and shopping wisely goes into their pocket - not the builder's. One of the highlights is the network they put the customer in when they close. This network consists of hundreds of contractors and suppliers that will bid on the project at a volume builders discount.
Owner Builder Network also has several national accounts that can help clients save even more.
