Home Building Group Values

Since 1956 when we opened our first home center, Clayton’s commitment to attainable home ownership for more Americans has been at the heart of what we do. And since then, we’ve helped more than one million families achieve their dream.

Actions speak more loudly than words, and Clayton Home Building Group’s® work to explore new housing frontiers, protect our environment through sustainability efforts, and create a world-class team member experience embodying trust, collaboration and equality directly reflect our core values.

Open doors

Open doors

Clayton Home Building Group’s purpose is Opening doors to a better tomorrow. We’re here to help our customers realize success, own homes they love and create more opportunity. One of the ways we promote home ownership is by donating free housing to Family Promise, a program supporting families at risk of homelessness.

Be a home

Be a home

We build homes and strive to Be a home, where Home Building Group team members have a sense of belonging, work-life balance and a true career path.

Our goal is to create a world-class experience for every team member. When team members come first, everything else falls into place.

Drive Change

Drive Change

Setting the standard via advanced technology and sustainability efforts to Drive change  fuels our desire to transform the housing industry.

And who better to Drive change than the 15,000 team members in Home Building Group? Programs like Clayton Innovates solicit great ideas – big and small – from team members to collectively improve our organization.

Clayton Home Building Group is a committed steward of the environment and the communities we serve. We pursue responsible building practices, build with energy-efficient features and strive to keep the environment at the forefront of everything we do. One way we’re Driving change is by partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation® to plant 4.47 million trees by 2025*.

Do good

Do good

The world – including when you're at work - is a nicer place when people are kind and collaborative, and Home Building Group’s culture promotes equity and a welcoming environment for everyone.

Clayton strives to Do good by celebrating every team member for our differences, because we believe that opens the door to being our strongest, best selves – together.

Doing good starts at home.

Doing good starts at home.

We believe Doing good starts at home and in the workplace, and we embrace every opportunity to listen, connect and help others in Building Happyness®. Clayton provides team members paid volunteer time off to make an impact in their communities, and in 2023 we volunteered over 61,000 hours serving others.
