2021Custom home building is a process and, in many cases, can be one of the most misconceived areas of planning for your perfect home. A good number of home buyers start their process searching for a home builder, but in the end, they buy an already built “spec” home or sometimes work with a builder to customize a home that is in the process of being constructed.
The Right Steps for Custom Home Building
The confusion starts when a home buyer has the basic steps of the process in the wrong order. Inexperienced buyers who decide to build a custom home believe they should find and purchase a piece of property on their own, find and hire an architect to design their custom build, provide those plans to a selection of builders who all bid on the project differently, and then the buyer chooses the builder with the lowest bid. The truth is that the best process is generally the opposite. The ideal process for the homebuyer is to choose an experienced and well-respected local builder first, utilizing the builder’s experience in the local market to find the appropriate lot, and then start the steps of designing and building the house. This process is usually faster, smoother, and more economical for all parties involved.
