Are you Developer or Builder?

One can be both a developer and builder. Still, they are different tasks. “Development” means taking the raw land and preparing it for new construction (such as installing utilities — water, sewer, and electric). “Building” is erecting the structure.

Which are you? Developer or Builder?
