There's no "better" builder. There's only the builder that's right for your situation. Consider these factors:
Different builders suit different price points. Think about what matters most: price, inclusions, customisation or service.
Some builders specialise in certain areas or challenging sites. Consider who builds in your area and has experience with your block type.
Do you want to heavily modify a plan, or are you happy with standard designs? Different builders offer different levels of flexibility.
