Looking for a VA-Approved Builder List?

If you're searching for a VA-approved builder list, you're likely looking for a builder who can build your home using a VA construction loan. Our lists include 137 builders and modular home retailers registered in the lender's VA construction loan program we broker across North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee.

The VA eliminated its builder ID requirement for VA-guaranteed new construction loans on March 31, 2025, under Circular 26-25-1.

For our program, the lender reviews each builder's licensing, insurance, and financial qualifications before accepting them. These are lender-registered builders; registration does not represent a VA endorsement of their work.

The lists include both site-built home builders and modular home retailers. Both types of homes may qualify for VA construction financing, subject to property and lender requirements.

How a builder gets registered

What matters for a VA One-Time Close is whether your builder is registered with the lender's construction program. The lender reviews each builder's licensing, insurance, and financial criteria before accepting them, and registration is good for 12 months. Read how builder acceptance works and what it does not tell you.

What registration means, and what it doesn't

Before a builder can build under a VA One-Time Close, the lender reviews the builder's package and accepts them into its construction program. That review covers business fundamentals: licensing, insurance, and financial criteria. Every builder on this list has completed that process, which means your project doesn't wait on builder paperwork to start.

Here is what registration is not: it is not a rating, an endorsement, or a recommendation of any builder's work. Neither the lender nor NoSo Funding has inspected these builders' construction quality, and inclusion on the list is not an assessment of it. The builder you choose is one of the biggest decisions of your project, and that decision is yours. Check references, visit homes they've built, verify their license and insurance are current, and get everything in writing.

Service areas on the list come from builder websites and public listings. Always confirm directly with a builder that they'll build where your land is.

Don't see your builder on the list?

That's normal, and it's not a dead end. Builders register with the lender per project, and I walk new builders through it on every loan; it typically takes a week or two alongside the rest of the process. If you already have a builder you trust, contact me and we'll find out what the lender needs to register them for your build.

The VA does not approve builders and does not keep an approved builder list. VA Circular 26-25-1 ended the builder ID requirement for standard VA construction loans on March 31, 2025. Builders are registered with the lender funding the loan after a review of license, insurance and financial criteria. Registration is not a rating, endorsement or recommendation of any builder's work, and you are responsible for your own due diligence before hiring a builder.
