Retail Home Buying vs. Custom Design
If the process starts with a standard plan no matter how many options are available, it is not a custom home.
Retail home building begins with the packaging and marketing of a predetermined product on a predetermined lot with predetermined specifications and incentives.
Custom homebuilding is more discerning. The process begins with the question “What do you have in mind?” and expands from that point. The approaches to the process can vary substantially.
- Have you already purchased your lot?
- Have you already selected an architect to create a final set of architectural plans for your luxury home?
- Have you purchased a custom home plan online and need a qualified builder to help you modify the plan bring the design to life?
- Do you need an experienced homebuilder to provide a full range of services from lot selection, plan development, home construction, to landscape planning and installation?
