The most obvious reason to build a custom home?
Well, you get everything you want, the way you want it. We provide homeowners with access to multiple homebuilders, some who specialize in specific types of homes depending on your needs and budget. Instead of going from one builder to the next we can provide you valuable insight on what each provides as we have done all the research for you.
If you’re in the market for a new construction home but are struggling with whether to build custom or to personalize a production home (or ‘Semi-Custom’), we’ve assembled a list of reasons you might want to consider building a truly custom home.
1) A FLOOR PLAN THAT FITS YOUR LIFESTYLE
What’s life without friends and family. The ability to comfortably entertain your guests can have a huge impact on a homeowners’ quality of life, and building a custom home is the perfect opportunity to play up your hosting strengths. With endless possibilities to build a custom patio that accentuates a bar-b-que pit, fire pit or an in-ground pool with any shape or size. Turn a standard living room into a great room or build a kitchen large enough to comfortably cook for the entire extended family with designer appliances of your personal choice.
2) THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHOOSE YOUR BUILDER
Custom home building is all about choices, and that goes for who you decide to work with as well. When you entrust your future into the hands of a homebuilder, you have an opportunity to choose the best. A company that will only work with the best materials and craftsmen means you’re more likely to end up with a home that exceeds your standards and holds its value for years to come, in case you need to sell down the road. The first choice is critical and we can assist in matching your needs with the right builder for you.
3) LOWER MAINTENANCE COSTS
Buying an existing home can feel like a gamble, especially when it comes to unforeseen maintenance pitfalls that present themselves a few months or years after all the paperwork is signed. No one wants a money pit. Everything in a custom home is new. That means all the building materials, appliances, and home furnishings come with direct from manufacturer warranties. So not only do you not have to worry about regular maintenance, but if something breaks, you’ll likely be able to simply replace it at little to no cost.
4) YOU CAN BUILD IT WHERE YOU WANT IT
Before you’re even thinking about great room designs or roofing materials, you have the opportunity to choose where you want to build. Do you already have a plot of land in mind or that you own? If you’re planning a family, you have the ability to build your home in the right school districts, or close to family and friends. Not only that, but by partnering with the right home builder can truly make it a great decision for the future.
5) THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY
Along with open floor plans, integrated home technology is one of the fastest changing aspects of designing a modern home. Out of the gate, multi-room audio systems, smart appliances, energy efficiency and home automation are all on the table if you’re building a custom home.
6) PERSONAL SELF-EXPRESSION IN THE DETAILS
Think about every place you’ve lived. Did that place show you and your personal touch. When did you ever have a say in the details of your home? The chance to hand-select the doorknobs, light fixtures or kitchen appliances? Custom homes are a true expression of the owners. It’s your chance to create a cohesive living experience that’s all you in every aspect.
7) FLEX SPACE FOR FAMILY LIFE
Most younger families expect open, amply lit flex spaces that naturally bridge the gap between cooking, dining, and relaxation. A custom home’s layout gives you the opportunity to create a more inclusive family environment, while still maintaining privacy where it matters.
8) NEVER MOVE AGAIN
Why move, when your custom home can flex with your growing family? Moving house is always a drain on time, finances and it interrupts life as you know it. Especially for younger families, custom homes promote a future-focused mindset. If you spend the time to create and build your ideal home, then you will want to live there for a number of years to get the most out of your property. You may want to think about adding bedrooms or play areas for the future, and a yard for the kids to enjoy. Choosing the higher end furnishings and fittings will also mean that your beloved family home stands the test of time.
9) BUILD IT ON YOUR BUDGET
Some people may assume that custom homes cannot be a budget friendly choice, but this is far from the case. In fact, by opting for a custom home, you are actually using your money more wisely by choosing only the additions that you really want. Often off the plan homes include extras that wouldn’t be your first choice, and existing homes have certain rooms that owners would like to one day renovate. Work with us to choose a custom home builder you can trust and who will work with you. This will ensure you make the right decision from the beginning.
Let us guide you through the options of the many builders available to you for the home of your dreams. Of course when you SEE IT you will LIKE IT and you will OWN IT!
