Custom home design is a wonderful way to craft a residence that suits your personality and specific needs. Unfortunately, there are many myths about the process that can deter people from taking the final steps. While building a unique, luxury home is somewhat different than buying a production home, it’s less challenging than you might imagine.

Common Misapprehensions About Custom Homes

1. They’re Time Consuming

Custom builders have regular partners and links to strong networks of experts, which streamlines the building process. Once all of the design decisions are made, they can briskly tackle the project. In fact, the build time when working with an experienced building company can be comparable to that of a home constructed from a stock plan.

2. Creating a Design Is Too Complex

An experienced builder will know how to guide you through the custom home design process. This means you won't get overwhelmed with unnecessary details and information, but you'll still be able to give input and make small tweaks that'll personalize the design. It's common to assume that designing a custom home requires artistic skills or experience, but as long as you communicate your likes and dislikes clearly, proficient builders can tap into their expertise and convert rough outlines into beautifully constructed homes.

3. Builders Don’t Provide the Complete Package

People frequently search for building lots and hire architectural firms before ever contacting a builder. However, many home builders offer these services on request. In fact, they have an eye for which lot will work best with which design features and can guide the search to yield better results. Also, there's no need to spend large amounts of money on an architect. Luxury home builders can create custom home designs from scratch that'll blend seamlessly with your lot and architectural style.
