NAHB Builder Directory Scraper
Scrape NAHB builder directory listings by company name, state, or ZIP code, up to a million per run. Each builder comes with its name, location, contact details, and membership info. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
The NAHB Builder Directory is the official member directory of the National Association of Home Builders, listing home builders and remodelers across the United States. This Actor reads the public directory directly, so you can collect builder profiles without dealing with the NAHB website's search interface. Filter by company name, state, or ZIP code, and get a clean dataset of builders ready for outreach or market analysis.

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that your query, state, or ZIP code is spelled correctly and matches the directory format. Try broadening your search by removing one filter or using a shorter keyword.
The run stops before reaching my maxItems.
The Actor stops when there are no more matching builders in the directory. If you expected more results, verify your filters or increase maxItems.
Some builder fields are empty in the output.
Not all builders in the directory have complete profiles. Empty fields mean the information was not listed on the NAHB site for that builder.
I get an error about invalid state code.
Use the standard two-letter US state abbreviation, such as 'CA' for California or 'TX' for Texas. The Actor does not accept full state names.
