With home prices surging and the lingering pandemic, builders are seeing an influx of customers wanting a custom home. Everyone from empty nesters to first-time homeowners wishes for more space and particular options. Now more than ever, home builders are willing to listen to your needs and wants. Custom home building allows you to have a home design that is tailor-made for your family and lifestyle.
While we still see developments that showcase what appear to be similar style homes, custom home building gives you plenty of choices add on, or you can start from scratch and design your own!
In this blog, Cobblestone Builders explains the best options for custom home building. When you’re finished reading, we know you’ll be convinced that building a custom home is the way to go.
Flexibility to Create your Dream Home
The most common reason people say they decided to build a custom home is the flexibility to create your dream home. The freedom of designing the perfect home for your needs is unique to custom home building. When you work with a custom home builder, there’s no obligation to compromise the elements important to you. With your builder’s guidance, you will choose all of the following:
Floor Plan
Custom home building gives you the opportunity to design a floor plan that’s suited to your specific desires. In spec or production homes, you are limited to pre-selected floor layouts that the builder currently offers. When you build a custom home, design teams consisting of architects and construction professionals will help you create the floor plan that’s precisely what you’ve been looking for. This means you’ll get that dream bathroom or eat-in kitchen you’ve always wanted.
Finishes
In custom home building, you can choose every finishing detail, from the flooring to the fixtures and the countertops to the cabinets. These finishing touches allow you to design a home that is completely one-of-a-kind and aligns perfectly with your personal style. Custom homes are built using higher-quality materials and superior construction processes than spec homes. When these building methods join forces, you can rest assured that your new home will stand the test of time.
Extras
An added benefit of custom home building is that you can select the extra features you’d like in your home. For example, you can choose to have a deck or patio, a pool, or a pond. You can choose to have them all if you want! When you’re customizing your home, consider your lifestyle. Do you entertain often? Maybe you need a built-in wet bar. Do you have an overflow of outdoor toys? Maybe you need a larger garage. Custom home builders can help advise you is the best features for your home while considering your time and budget restraints.
Green Building and Energy Efficiency
Many people build green, energy-efficient homes to save money. While choosing an eco-friendly home does provide cost savings, it also gives your family a healthy living environment. Custom home building gives you peace of mind in knowing that you’ve done your share to reduce your carbon footprint. The money you will save on your energy bills is just a bonus.
Personalization
One of the best parts of designing a custom home is the way you get to incorporate personalized particulars into the plan. This could mean just about anything from solar panels to specific storage solutions. Working with a professional custom home builder allows you to install quirky elements or tech out your home with the latest built-in gadgets and home systems.
Leave your Mark
If your legacy is something that’s important to you, what better way to leave behind your mark on the world? Custom home building gives you a chance to put a little bit of yourself into something that will be seen, lived-in, and enjoyed by countless generations to come.
People who build a spec home or even purchase an existing home are often plagued by home-buyers regret afterward. Custom home building eliminates the possibility of this happening to you because you choose every part of it. When you build custom, you never have to settle for something you really aren’t in love with.
You can take comfort in the fact that your home was built to your exact specifications by a builder you trust that is perfect for you.
