The DIY Network is casting for a new series titled “Ultimate Home Builders” and is seeking contractors, builders, and homeowners to be featured. Below are the details for those interested in applying.
About Ultimate Home Builders
DIY Network is developing a dramatic construction series that follows the process of building custom homes from the ground up. The show will highlight the collaboration between builder teams and homeowners, documenting the design choices, construction challenges, and the final reveal of a completed home.
Who They’re Looking For
– Builders and contractors: Professionals who bring passion and clear communication to the job. Ideal candidates can explain the building process step-by-step, offer expert advice, and demonstrate craftsmanship and problem-solving on-site.
– Homeowners: Families, young couples, empty nesters, or individuals who are comfortable sharing their personal stories and the emotional journey of creating a home. The producers want homeowners who will openly discuss the trials, decisions, and triumphs that occur during construction.
Show Format and Purpose
Each episode will focus on a single dream home built from start to finish by a dedicated team of experts. The series will take viewers through every phase: initial concept and planning, breaking ground, structural work, custom details, and final finishes. The program emphasizes the collaborative process—how homeowners and builders work together, make choices, overcome setbacks, and bring the original vision to life. Episodes culminate in a dramatic reveal showcasing the completed, personalized home.
Types of Homes and Locations
The producers are seeking a diverse range of homes across the United States, including various architectural styles and price points. They welcome projects from different regions to showcase a broad spectrum of building techniques and design preferences.
Timing
Construction should be scheduled to begin no later than September–October 2010 to qualify for the series timeline.
