3 Custom Home Building Myths Debunked

Custom homes are an amazing investment, as you get to live in your dream home that has been designed specifically for your needs, taste, and lifestyle. However, there are many myths about custom home building that may scare you away from the process. It’s important to know the full truth about custom homes, as you will find that many of the rumors are completely false! Read on to learn the truth about custom home building and why it may be the best decision for you.

You Need Design Experience And An Architect 

Since building a custom home means that you will choose the design and layout, many homeowners are intimidated by the process if they have no design experience. While it’s true that you have complete control over the design of your home, you won’t have to make all the decisions alone! When working with a professional custom home builder, you will work with design experts who will help every step of the way. You can be as involved with the designing process as you wish, and the professionals will help bring your vision into reality! 

Another common myth is that you need an architect to design your home before going to a builder. Many homeowners will spend a lot of unnecessary money on an architect when a design-build firm is more than capable to do so in-house. While there are many circumstances where an architect can bring more to the table, they are not always needed and you can save money without one.

There Will Be Hidden Costs

Many people also think that custom homes are expensive and will have hidden costs, but that is not the case. A reputable home builder will use straightforward pricing sheets that show customers exactly what they’re paying for, so there are never any hidden costs. By working with a custom home builder, homeowners have the opportunity to customize their budget and save money by choosing the layout, size, and design elements. Also, when purchasing an existing home, there is a chance that you will need to renovate at some point, but when building a new home, you know that you won’t need to remodel for many years.

Communication With The Builder Will Be Difficult

Lastly, you may have heard the myth that home builders are hard to get in contact with. However, the only instance that would make communication with your builder difficult is if you choose the wrong company. When choosing a reliable builder, you will find that open communication is essential to them, and you will never have difficulty checking in with the team. In fact, your home builder will likely want to check in with you as often as possible to get the approval of design plans, keep you up-to-date on the schedule, and offer status updates of your new home.
