Wondering if there is a custom designed home for you or a non-standard one? If you can’t go back and forth to decide which option is best for your design, features, budget, and time needs, here are a few things to consider to make your decision a little easier.

A CUSTOM JOURNEY

For most people, building their dream home is a unique experience where they are not satisfied with anything less perfect. That’s where custom design and construction is best option. There are no restrictions if you choose individual routes. You have the ability to customize every element of your home to perfectly fit your family, lifestyle and design preferences.

You have full control over how the optimal floor plan is designed, how the materials used are chosen, how green technologies are incorporated, or how design features are added. If you have a specific idea of ​​what you want to achieve or want to create a unique home, custom architecture might be your best bet.

However, luxurious custom homes are usually not cheap. If you take a custom design approach to building your dream home, you won’t be satisfied with the mid-range fixtures, fittings, finishes and features. If you’ve set your mind to a premium high-end build that’s uncompromising, I’d say you’ll end up with a higher price tag.

It is also important to consider whether there is a time constraint. A custom builder should be able to give you an estimated construction time, but this will take longer and less likely to slow you down than the planned home.

Building a Out-of-Plan Home

The main benefit of choosing a out-of-plan home is that you can “try before you buy”. Most project builders offer demo houses where you can see for yourself what the finished home will look like. You’ll get a good idea of ​​the size and proportions of your home, as well as the types of finishes you can trust, so you can get a better idea of ​​how well your home will fit your needs.

Out of Plan Homes are relatively simple and easy to build because they use materials from trusted suppliers and use a set of “tried and tested” building processes. This usually means that it’s easier to estimate the total build time and leaves less room for cost. The price tag tends to be lower than for custom builds, as builders can also negotiate bulk discounts on the materials used for the project home.

The downside to choosing a custom design is that you have less space to customize and limited finishes and options to choose from. Once you’ve found a home design that fits your needs almost perfectly, making small changes to the original design shouldn’t be too difficult or expensive. However, if you have very specific requirements or want to make significant changes to some elements of your original design, it may be easier to create your own design and start from scratch.
