Criteria for choosing the Top 50 Builders Pool & Spa News is proud to unveil the 2013 Top 50 Builders. Making it onto the list involved a rigorous judging process utilizing five criteria. This helped ensure that a well-rounded group would represent the industry. Below is a look at each area ranked. Revenue Total residential construction revenue (including income generated from new construction and renovation) had the most impact on builders’ total scores. Staff A company is only as strong as its staff. This score took into consideration av erage employee tenure and the amount, and type, of training staff members receive each year. Certifications were highly rewarded.

Industry Involvement Companies that work together are more effective and help strengthen the industry over all. Firms that network and collaborate through associations, buyers groups and other organizations both inside and outside the industry were rewarded. Web Presence Forward-looking firms continue to use new digital platforms to enhance their brand. This score reflected the attractiveness, usability and educational value of company websites as well the extent of entrants’ social media engagement. Community Involvement Good citizenship is also good business. A small, but important, percentage of each builder’s total score was based on participation in community and causes. This is the second year that the Pool & Spa News Top 50 Builders have been selected using new, more well-rounded criteria, and the competition has become fierce. While many of last year’s group made the cut again, they welcomed 10 newcomers who had the right combina tion of construction revenue, staffing proficiency, industry involvement, web presence and community engage ment.
