CRYSTAL BALL:  We asked all Builder 100 survey respondents to rank the importance of these 10 factors in improving the competitive positions of the Builder 100 over the next 10 years, and it seems the Next 100 is focused on building and selling to new residents.  Not surprisingly, smaller builders also are more focused on gaining efficiencies in purchasing.  The Builder 100 ranks purchasing efficiencies sixth, as many have already worked to take advantage of their size with suppliers.
