While the allure of a newly built home can be exciting, as you plan for your new abode, it is important to have a good understanding regarding the type of builder you will be working with – as this can ultimately determine the options that you may, or may not, have on the finished project. Both custom and project home builders can have advantages and drawbacks. So, depending on just exactly what it is that you’re looking for, a particular type of home builder will typically get you to the end result you’ve envisioned.
For example, a project builder will usually have display homes that can be viewed in certain areas and / or neighborhoods. Here, you will be able to obtain a first-hand view of what the finished product will look like. A project builder will also usually have a list of various flooring options, appliances, and color schemes that a buyer can choose from. Oftentimes, this type of builder will provide you with standardized “packages,” as well as the ability to upgrade (for an additional cost).
Conversely, with a custom home builder, you won’t likely be able to tour “open houses” or homes that the builder has on display. This is because custom builders don’t generally have set home designs or plans, but rather build based on what each individual home buyer chooses.
So, while this means that you won’t be able to take a tour of the finished product before you buy, you will be able to have much more of a say in the floor plan, room dimensions, and / or any other specific custom features that you desire. This, in turn, can truly put your personal stamp on the home, as there won’t be another that is designed in the exact same manner.
