According to the National Association of Home Builders<\/strong>, some of the <\/span>new trends in custom homes<\/span><\/a>\u00a0include green building, multigenerational living, universal design, and amenities like yoga studios, fitness rooms, and even a bowling alley.<\/span>

Perhaps you would like to have two dishwashers in a gourmet kitchen, or an upstairs and downstairs laundry. Knowing how you want to use your home can go a long way in creating a custom design that works for you and your family.<\/span>

When researching a custom builder, ask these questions: Does this homebuilder share your vision, and are they open to your ideas? Do they have experience in building the type or style of home you desire? Are they truly a custom homebuilder? How well do you feel you can communicate with them?<\/span>

\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Items to Consider” _builder_version=”3.5″]<\/p>\n

Items to Consider:<\/h2>\n

Be Clear About What You Want and Expect<\/b><\/h4>\n

Go into the process knowing what you want in your custom home. Share that list with your builder and architect and make sure you are all on the same page before any construction begins. Be open to suggestions from these professionals – after all, they have years of experience building custom homes – and expect that you will have slight design changes as you hammer out the final design.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be sure you <\/span>can<\/span><\/i> communicate with your design\/build team, and make sure you <\/span>do<\/span><\/i> communicate throughout the building process. A good custom homebuilder wants to make sure you are happy with their work. After all, this will be your home for some time to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expenses<\/b><\/h4>\n

Building a custom home may cost more than purchasing an \u201cout-of-the-box\u201d home or a resale, but considering that you will get exactly what you want in your home, that extra expense may be worth it. Time and money considerations<\/a> and extra expenses may be needed to create a custom blueprint, for covering specific construction design details or selections, or for additional land development or landscaping costs, for example.\u00a0<\/span>
