Why Build a Custom Home?
Those looking for a new home are inundated with many factors to consider. Not only are you weighing out where to buy, and what style to home build; but ultimately who is going to be involved in designing and constructing the home. Here are some worthwhile considerations you should be taking into account on whether a Custom home is right for you.
Ability to Personalize
A customer Home build allows you to balance limitless options between functionality and aesthetic that fits your lifestyle. Whether its choosing to build on a lot that has ample space for a do-it-all shop/rv garage, incorporating your dream luxury pool, acreage of lush green grass for livestock or personalized garden that is your oasis, You have complete control on not only how you want your home uniquely laid out but also the surrounding areas that quite often make a home, truly a ‘Home'.’
quality control.
Equally as important is that you have the ability to confirm quality control. You are completely involved in the project from dirt to finish. Notably this includes the material selection process. NOT just the final selections on paint color, trim packages etc, but selecting the quality variety of materials used from foundation to the build out of the home. By working alongside builders and architects that educate you along the way, you are confident the highest standard of construction and attention to detail is being implemented on your home. The end result is a structure that will withstand weatherization and the tests of time.
Energy Efficiency
There is a stark contrast between a standard production home and custom home that is designed and constructed using the proper materials to not only make a home waterproof but air tight. With this taken into account and drawn over time, it not only saves the home owner in annual energy and maintenance cost but also makes the home much more comfortable to live in, year round.
Future Adaptability
A custom home gives you the opportunity to design a home that incorporates future modifications much more easily than a standard home. A few common dilemmas that can be accounted and designed for in advanced:
Addition to the family.
A more private bonus room framed out above a garage for friends/family visiting.
‘Casita’ or detached in-law suite adjacent to the primary home for aging parents.
Investment Value
Especially in todays market we would argue that you are getting a more valuable asset long term in a custom home as compared to buying an existing home. By just simply incorporating many of the timeless designs and features that are consistently in high demand, you are able to increase the resale value of the home. Furthermore with the right budget window, you will be able to build more ‘bang for your buck’ per square feet in many cases by strategically sourcing materials for your project.
Avoiding Compromise
You will be in a much better position to NOT have to weigh out a long list of pros and cons between multiple homes in different neighborhoods. With a custom home your able to find a lot in your desired area, then focus on what you are looking to accomplish with the design. Considerations for portions of the project that are out of the budget can be earmarked for future construction.
Lastly, Satisfaction.
You know that old saying there’s no place like home? That is assuredly the case when you played a role since conception of building it. It is indeed a process, but one that most people walk away from proudly. They played a role in creating a wonderfully sound structure, they now call Home.
