2-10 Home Buyers Warranty (2-10) is proud to sponsor the 2025 Zonda Builder 100 Leadership Summit. This is the premier homebuilding event of 2025, and 2-10 will be there to learn about and contribute to the conversations that are shaping the industry.
Overcoming Challenges
The overarching theme for this year’s summit is how builders can overcome the various challenges facing the industry in terms of design, technology, labor, and capital.
Many of these challenges will come from the larger macro-environment, but that doesn’t mean builders can’t take steps to approach them in ways that will help them succeed despite the headwinds they’ll face.
We’re confident that there are ways that 2-10 can help you overcome some of the major challenges in the industry.
Protecting Your Bottom Line
One of the bigger challenges facing builders is related to capital. At 2-10, we’ve always believed that protecting against long-tail risks is a smart strategy for helping you protect your bottom line.
We believe this because we know that most structural defects in new homes are caused by soil movement—something that’s entirely outside of your control but something that you must account for, based on your state’s statute of repose. And each of those structural defects could cost an average of $70,000 to address.
So, whether you’re a production builder who builds multiple houses on one big plot of land or a smaller builder, you likely need a strategy to protect your bottom line against things that are outside of your control.
As many 2-10 Builder Members can tell you, enrolling all of your homes in the 2-10 New Home Warranty Program could be a valuable strategy in addressing the long-tail risks of homebuilding. That’s because homes enrolled in the 2-10 New Home Warranty Program are covered against structural defects caused by certain kinds of soil movement.
Additionally, the 2-10 Warranty Booklet offers construction performance guidelines to help you set expectations for your homeowners about what they’re responsible for as homeowners and what you’re responsible for as a builder. This could help reduce disputes or time spent handling issues that may actually be the homeowner’s responsibility, giving you more time to focus on what you do best—building and selling high-quality homes.
You Build it, We'll back you up.

Quality Customer Care
When 2-10’s experts have spoken to builders, one of the biggest challenges they tell us that they have is continuing to provide quality customer care after the sale.
Since 1980, 2-10 has excelled at helping builders address post-closing customer care concerns in three major ways:
- An industry-leading New Home Warranty Booklet that clearly states performance guidelines and coverage for all homes enrolled in the 2-10 New Home Warranty Program
- Front Line Warranty Service, an enhanced customer care solution that makes 2-10 the first line of contact for warranty questions, which help builders reduce expensive homeowner callbacks
- 2-10 NewHome Care, the newest evolution of Front Line Warranty Service that helps streamline communications between builders, subcontractors, and homeowners.
Keeping homeowners happy and warranty teams from experiencing burnout could be easier with help from 2-10.
