Meet The Builder: Missy Manuel

Manuel Builders has been building homes for over 65 years, earning a reputation for both quality craftsmanship and a strong, people-first culture. Rooted in the values of community, excellence, and integrity, the company takes pride in delivering a positive homebuilding experience through a collaborative team of in-house professionals, including our designers, estimators, build team, and service specialists.As owner of Manuel Companies, Missy Manuel recognized a gap in the construction industry—too much focus on numbers, and not enough on people. With her background in counseling, she brought a fresh perspective by implementing the concept of organizational health within the company. This shift helped foster a thriving workplace culture and contributed to the company’s continued growth and success.

Manuel Builders offers two flexible building options—either on your own property or within one of our communities—so homeowners can choose what works best for them. As part of Manuel Companies, alongside Manuel Commercial and Manuel Custom Cabinets, Manuel Builders strives to be both a great place to work and a trusted partner in the homebuilding process. The team is passionate about using their talents to serve others and make a lasting impact in the communities they build.
