.builders is an open generic top-level domain for construction companies and the people who build homes and buildings, managed by Binky Moon, LLC through Identity Digital Inc. It is one of the oldest new gTLDs: IANA’s delegation report to Atomic Madison, LLC is dated 20 December 2013 and the zone has been in the root since 28 December 2013. Binky Moon took it over on 23 March 2018.

In Indian English a “builder” is usually the real-estate developer who sells flats and plots, as well as the contractor who constructs them — so .builders names the firm, while .build names the work. A home buyer in Noida or Thane searching for “builders in my area” expects a developer’s project page; .builders matches that phrase exactly.
| Question | .builders | .build |
|---|---|---|
| Who it describes | The company: developer, contractor, home builder | The activity or product: a project, app or factory |
| Typical Indian buyer | Flat developers, civil contractors, interior-and-build firms | Construction-tech SaaS, BIM studios, prefab makers |
| Registry | Binky Moon, LLC | Plan Bee LLC |
| 3-year cost at WebJi® | ₹14,254 | ₹23,423 |
The main buyers are mid-sized developers, civil and turnkey contractors, and independent-house builders in growing cities who need one address for projects, enquiries and site photos. The ending lets a family firm keep its surname as the brand, since sharma.builders or patelconstruction.builders is usually still free.

The registry checks nothing — no licence, RERA number or GSTIN is needed to buy a .builders name — but a developer’s website is advertising under RERA. Section 11(2) of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 requires a promoter’s advertisements to show the project’s registration number and the state authority’s website.
A developer’s site needs fast-loading galleries, walkthrough videos and an enquiry form that reaches sales within minutes. Our guide to real-estate website development covers the pages buyers expect, and real-estate website hosting explains server sizing for image-heavy listings. Use business email for sales@yourbrand.builders, and see domain registration in India for a matching .in.
Binky Moon, LLC, operated through Identity Digital Inc. in Bellevue, Washington. It took over .builders from Atomic Madison, LLC in March 2018 and runs it under the same policies as .construction and .contractors.
Use .builders for the company that constructs and sells its own projects, and .properties for a broker or a listings site covering many developers. Both cost the same at WebJi®, so choose by what visitors should understand you are.
Yes. The domain has no RERA or licence check, and RERA registration applies to promoters of qualifying real-estate projects, not to every contractor. A civil or interior contractor can use .builders for its portfolio freely.
₹23,946 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹4,562 for the first year and four renewals at ₹4,846 each. A five-year .build would cost ₹39,947 over the same period.
IANA delegated .builders on 28 December 2013, making it one of the first new gTLDs in the root. The zone is DNSSEC-signed, so your own name can be signed once your DNS host supports it.
