* Springfield Home Builders Association member. The above list of home builders is a guide to the most active home builders of 1997 based on the total dollar value of homes completed. It is not intended as a quality comparison. Some active home builders of past years whose totals do not appear in this chart may have concentrated more on commercial or remodeling work. The top single-family home builder last year, Ralph K. Manley, retired Dec. 31, 1997. Some homebuilders that deserve to be included may have been omitted due to lack of information or deadline restrictions. [[In-content Ad]]
