A builder is someone that typically came up in the trades as a carpenter that has a full understanding of the entire building process from the lay of the land the permitting, the foundation, drainage, all of the carpentry, roofing ect.
A builder is well acquainted with all of the other trades and can guide them through their work so that the client can get what they are looking for.
The builder is an avocate for the client making sure everything is going smoothly and in the right order.
He makes sure all materials are ordered on time and stored properly and not in other trades way.
The builder should be the first one hired and the last one to put on the finishing touch.
A builder is not a GC and typically works on a cost plus or time and materials bases, and is always the best value for a homeowner.
