Here's exactly how a David Reid Homes franchise works - the model, the support, the numbers and the path in.
The volume builders measure success in hundreds of homes and wafer-thin margins. We don't. A David Reid Homes franchisee builds a deliberately select number of custom and luxury homes - each one designed for its site, crafted for its owners, and finished to a standard you'd happily be judged by.
It's quality over quantity - and it's why our franchisees build businesses they actually enjoy owning.
And you build custom homes, not someone else's volume range.
A very competitive franchise fee, so more of the profit stays in your business, while you still get the benefit of a national network behind you. The fees and the working capital you'll need are set out in the Disclosure Document, which we provide after your first call.
