New Construction
Las Vegas Home Builders
Every builder active in the Las Vegas metro with a page on this site: who they are, what they charge, where they build, and how to check their quality before you sign.
Las Vegas has 21 home builders with profile pages here, sorted into six tiers: volume builders (Lennar, D.R. Horton, KB Home, Century Communities, Beazer) from about $300K in North Las Vegas, move-up builders (Pulte, Richmond American, Taylor Morrison, Tri Pointe, Pardee, Woodside, Shea) from the mid-$400Ks, Toll Brothers in luxury production from $550K to $2M+, three custom firms (Blue Heron, Christopher Homes, Forté) from $1.5M, LIVV’s semi-custom homes at Neo from $3.14M before lot premiums (September 2026), and four local attainable builders (StoryBook, Harmony, Touchstone, LGI) from the low $200Ks. There is no verified published quality ranking for Las Vegas, so we judge quality by Nevada State Contractors Board license standing, written warranty terms, the NRS Chapter 40 defect process and our own closings with each builder.
- D.R. Horton (84,863 homes in 2025) and Lennar (82,583) are the two largest U.S. builders and both build across the valley; Toll Brothers (10,813 in 2024) leads the luxury tier.
- Price bands run from Harmony Homes in the low $200Ks and LGI at $290K to $450K up to Blue Heron and Christopher Homes customs at $2M to $10M+.
- Check any builder in 30 seconds at the Nevada State Contractors Board license search; an active license in good standing is the floor, not a ranking.
- Warranties are contractual, commonly 1 year workmanship, 2 years systems, 10 years structural; NRS 40.600 to 40.695 sets the notice-and-repair path for defects.
- The builder's sales office represents the builder; register your own NREG agent on the first visit and the builder usually pays that commission.
Expert Overview
Buying New Construction in Las Vegas
Las Vegas is one of the most active new construction markets in the United States, with national builders developing homes across Summerlin, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and the southwest valley. New construction currently accounts for approximately 25-30% of home sales in the metro area, offering buyers modern floor plans, energy-efficient systems, structural warranties, and the ability to select finishes and options.
Working with a buyer's agent when purchasing new construction is essential. Builders' on-site sales representatives work for the builder, not the buyer. Nevada Real Estate Group agents provide independent guidance on pricing, structural options versus cosmetic upgrades, resale value considerations, lot selection strategy, and contract negotiation — including builder incentives like rate buydowns and closing cost credits that fluctuate with market conditions.
Each builder below has a dedicated page showing which Las Vegas communities include their homes, along with a profile of the builder's approach, price ranges, and frequently asked questions. Nevada Real Estate Group works with every builder in the Las Vegas market and can schedule model home tours, provide builder comparison analysis, and negotiate on behalf of buyers at no cost — builders pay the buyer's agent commission.

Methodology
How we judge builder quality in Las Vegas
Buyers ask us for the best quality builders in Las Vegas more than any other new-construction question, and the honest answer starts with what we do not have: a current, independently published quality score for this market that we can verify and cite. J.D. Power publishes an annual new-construction builder satisfaction study with market-level results, but we could not retrieve the current Las Vegas result to quote here, so it is not part of this page. Rather than invent a ranking, we check five things, and you can check four of them yourself before you ever visit a model home.
- License standing. Every builder in Nevada must hold an active license from the Nevada State Contractors Board. Its public license search shows status, classification, bond, monetary limit and disciplinary history. The board's stated purpose is to protect the public through licensing, and it advises checking that a contractor is licensed and in good standing before working with them. Homeowners who contract with a licensed builder may also seek recovery through the Nevada Residential Recovery Fund after exhausting other remedies. An active, clean license is the floor. A disciplinary record is the first thing we ask a builder about.
- Warranty terms in writing. A new-home warranty is a contract term, not a statutory right, and the terms differ by builder. The structure we see most is one year on workmanship and materials, two years on mechanical systems and ten years on structural components, with some builders adding paid extended programs. We read the actual warranty booklet for exclusions, the claim process and the transferability to a second owner, and we compare how each builder handled the eleventh-month walk-through in our own files.
- The NRS Chapter 40 process. Nevada's constructional-defect law, NRS 40.600 to 40.695, defines a constructional defect (NRS 40.615), requires written notice to the contractor before an owner can sue (NRS 40.645), and gives the contractor the right to inspect and elect to repair (NRS 40.6472), with NRS 11.202 setting the limitation period for defect actions. Because every defect claim runs through that notice-and-repair path, the builders that resolve items during the warranty period without needing it are the ones whose quality we trust. Document every item in writing from the pre-drywall walk onward.
- Independent inspection. A new home is not inspected for you. We recommend a licensed third-party inspection at pre-drywall and again before closing, with the findings submitted to the builder in writing; how a builder responds to that list tells you more than any brochure.
- Our own closings. Across the 9,600+ closings Nevada Real Estate Group has represented, we hold files with every builder on this page. Delivery dates kept or missed, design-center pricing against the base, incentive behavior at quarter-end and warranty responsiveness after keys are the patterns we bring to a builder recommendation. When a client asks which builder has the best quality, we answer for the specific community and phase, because the same builder performs differently across master plans.
What this method does not do is produce a number. If you see a "top 10 quality builders in Las Vegas" list with scores, ask where the scores came from. If the answer is not a named survey with a method and a date, it is a marketing list.

CustomFrequently asked questions about Las Vegas home builders
Who are the biggest home builders in Las Vegas?
By national volume the largest builders active here are D.R. Horton (84,863 homes in 2025, the largest U.S. builder since 2002), Lennar (82,583 in 2025) and PulteGroup (31,219 in 2024), with KB Home, Century Communities, Richmond American, Taylor Morrison, Tri Pointe and Woodside filling out the production tier. Toll Brothers is the luxury-production leader. In Las Vegas specifically, Lennar and KB Home carry the widest footprints in our community data.
Who are the best quality home builders in Las Vegas?
There is no single published quality score we can verify for Las Vegas, so we do not rank builders by a number. What we check instead: an active Nevada State Contractors Board license in good standing with no disciplinary history, the written warranty terms (one year workmanship, two years systems and ten years structural is the common structure), how the builder handles the eleventh-month warranty list, whether the community is a first phase or a proven plan, and what our own closings with that builder looked like. Toll Brothers, Taylor Morrison, Tri Pointe and Shea are the builders our clients most often name for finish quality; the custom firms, Blue Heron, Christopher Homes and Forté, are a different product entirely.
How do I check a Las Vegas builder's license?
Search the builder's name at the Nevada State Contractors Board license lookup (app.nvcontractorsboard.com). A residential builder needs an active B-2 Residential and Small Commercial or B General Building license. The record shows the license status, bond, monetary limit and any disciplinary actions. Homeowners who contract with a licensed builder may also seek recovery through the Nevada Residential Recovery Fund after exhausting other remedies.
What warranty comes with a new home in Las Vegas?
Warranty terms vary by builder and are set in the purchase contract, not by law. The common structure is one year on workmanship and materials, two years on mechanical systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) and ten years on structural components, with manufacturer warranties on appliances and some systems. Separately, Nevada's constructional-defect statute, NRS 40.600 to 40.695, gives owners a pre-litigation notice and repair process and NRS 11.202 sets the limitation period.
What is NRS Chapter 40 and why does it matter to a new-home buyer?
NRS 40.600 through 40.695 is Nevada's constructional-defect law. It defines a constructional defect (NRS 40.615), requires an owner to give the contractor written notice of the defect before suing (NRS 40.645), gives the contractor a right to inspect and elect to repair (NRS 40.6472), and works with NRS 11.202's limitation period for defect actions. Practically, it means a warranty dispute follows a set notice-and-repair path, and it is why we tell buyers to document every item in writing from day one.
Do I need my own agent to buy from a Las Vegas builder?
The on-site sales staff represent the builder. A Nevada Real Estate Group buyer-agent represents you on price, incentives, lot premiums, structural options and contract terms, and in most communities the builder pays the buyer-agent commission. Register your agent on the first model-home visit; most builders will not add representation later.
What are Las Vegas new-construction prices in 2026?
The one-line profiles above give each builder's Las Vegas band from their own pages: attainable product from the low $200Ks (Harmony Homes) and $290K to $450K (LGI Homes), volume builders from about $300K in North Las Vegas to $800K in Summerlin, move-up builders from the mid-$400Ks to about $1M, Toll Brothers from $550K to $2M+, and the custom firms from $1.5M to $10M+. Incentives, design-center spend and lot premiums move the final number.
