What is the difference between Builder or Real Estate Developers?

[anu006]

Developers develop and builders build. That is, a developer takes raw land, obtains the necessary permits, creates building lots, and puts in the sewers, the water and electric lines, the streets and curbs. Then the builder comes in and erects the house.

A builder also can be a developer. In fact, many are. But building and developing are two distinct and different tasks. And nowadays, most of the larger housing companies buy "finished" lots, or "pads," from someone else.

Sewer are put in my Municipal department,
Electric lines by Electric department,
similarly for water, streets/roads.
they come under the jurisdiction of the government and is by no means build by the developer.
