目的
將建構邏輯從物件轉移到建構器。從複雜物件的佈局中抽取出生成程序，以便用同一個生成程序製造各種不同的物件佈局。
Move the construction logic from the object to a builder: Separate the construction of a complex object from its representation so that the same construction process can create different representations.
適用
- 欲將「建造複雜物件的演算法」與物件的零件及組裝方式保持獨立時。
- 想讓同一個物件生成程序能夠產生數種不同佈局形式的物件時。
- 若一個產品生產程序太過複雜，Concrete Factory可以把產品生成責任委託給Builder。
- 設計流程和製造流程可以隨產品而變化。
結構及成員
Collaborations:
Client 先建立 Director物件，並將組態設定成想要的 Builder 物件。
Director 會在需要建立 Product 的各個零件時通知 Builder。
Builder 處理 Director 送來的命令，將零件一一加進 Product 裡。
最後 Client 從 Builder 手中取得 Product。

好處
實作
組裝及建構介面
Builder類別的介面必須一般化到能滿足各種ConcreteBuilder所需的生成程序。
為什麼成品物件沒有抽象介面？
- 一般而言，ConcreteBuilder所建的成品物件內部佈局方式差異相當大，並不值得費力抽出共同的父類別。
- Client通常都會用適切的ConcreteBuilder去設定Director物態，它很清楚自己正在用哪一種Builder實體子類別，能夠正確處理成品物件。
可能有些人會覺得，同樣都是建立物件，那直接 Abstract Factory Pattern 來建立物件不就好了？這裡要注意的是，Builder 著重在隱藏複雜物件生成的步驟，且生成的物件（通常是複雜物件）彼此會有「部份」（Part of）的概念。而 Abstract Factory 則是著重在管理有關聯性的物件，但這些物件不會有「部份」（Part of）的概念。實務上這個模式還滿常被使用到的，如 JAVA SDK 裡的 StringBuilder，StringBuffer，以及 Android SDK 裡的 AlertDialog.Builder，有興趣的人可以參考看看。
Builder Pattern的特點就是將複雜物件的產生過程隱藏起來，使用者無法碰到，且允許物件用多個步驟建立（跟 Factory Method 只有一個步驟不同），因為它的特性，因此經常用來建立合成結構。但對於使用者而言，要是不知道有哪些 setXXX() 方法可以用，也無法建立出想要的物件，這是要注意的地方。
某些時候，會看到有些寫法會將 Builder 的各個 Setter() 回傳 Builder 物件本身（即：public XXBuilder setCompA(…)）。以便能以Fluent Interface的風格進行Builder的設定（如：Product p = builder.setCompA(…).setCompB(…).setC().build()）。
