builder
Erects new homes
A builder is someone who constructs things—houses, bridges, relationships, empires.
The term applies literally to construction workers and contractors: We hired a builder to renovate the kitchen.
It extends to anyone who creates or develops something over time: a builder of coalitions, a community builder.
In compounds, builder specifies what's being constructed: bodybuilder, shipbuilder, team-builder.
