The Study & the Data

The NAHB Economics & Housing Policy Group collected compensation and benefits data for 39 common positions at single-family home-building companies. The data was analyzed by region, 2021-dollar volume, 2021 single-family home starts and number of employees on the payroll. Review the findings from two different perspectives: compensation and benefits for 39 positions, which includes a broad view of the full-time positions that exist at single-family building companies, a comparison of average total compensation and benefits across positions and compensation, and benefits by position, which includes a detailed view of the average compensation and benefits for each position. This data is collected every three years.
