What Is a Custom-Built Home?

A custom-built home refers to a house that an architect designs to your needs and specifications. It differs from a pre-designed house built for a generic consumer with little or no involvement from the eventual owner: you.

Developers often design and build entire neighborhoods in an assembly line manner, which appeals to a broad range of homeowners who don’t want to get involved in the minutiae often involved in designing and personalizing their own home. But many other prospective homeowners want a home built for their requirements and lifestyle. For them, custom-built homes are a necessity..
