In the 40s-60s, one could get a kit home and build it yourself. They were of decent enough quality where existing structures in the Bay Area are selling for over $1m.
Contractors are supposedly licensed and bonded. They may employ others. There are some very good ones - they are all booked out years in advance. The shady/shitty/marginal ones are easier to find.

I was surprised to learn you can still buy kit houses from Menards, a major store similar to Home Depot and Lowes. They have a catalog you can look through to make your choice.
