SEMI-CUSTOM HOME

“We eliminate a lot of tedious choices in order to make the customer’s’ decision-making easier. For example, on a semi-custom home, we might show a homebuyer six preselected door styles that are most popular with other homebuyers. This cuts down on a lot of the ‘noise’ that can come about during the custom home process. Whereas, on a custom build, we might go through a 300-page catalog with the homebuyer to select a door.” Jackson Castilho

WHAT IS A SEMI-CUSTOM HOME?

Like all things middle-of-the-road, semi-custom homes often offer homebuyers the ‘best of both worlds’, perfectly situating them between the ease of purchasing a move-in-ready home and the complexity of designing one from scratch.

Usually, semi-custom home construction happens like this: A homebuilder has a library of designs they’re familiar with and can economically source materials for. From this list, you select a floor plan that meets your expectations and fits your family’s needs. Then, you work with your home builder to customize the home’s selections, materials, and finishes.

If you have a clear vision for your new home but aren’t interested in spending the time and money needed to fully customize it, a semi-custom home might be perfect for you.
