You’re ready to get started on your dream home. All of the decisions have been made and you’ve been checking out our tips for figuring out what kind of design you want, but you haven’t decided on one crucial choice: custom or semi-custom? That decision comes down to a few things that you should take into consideration. Never make any important home building decision like this on a whim. Make sure you take the time to sit down and weigh the pros and cons of both options so that you don’t end up stuck with something that you don’t like. We’ve got some information that should make the decision a little easier to make.
Semi-Custom Homes – what are they?
These homes already have basic floor plans laid out by your Maryland custom home builder. You’ll be able to choose from the pre-drawn designs for the home that best fits your needs and style. The great part about semi-custom homes is that you can still add personal touches.
Benefits of Semi-Custom
- Add personal touches without all of the hassle of designing from square one
- You still get to choose your own materials and appliances
- You don’t lose the hands-on approach, but you get a floor plan that has likely already been proven to work well
- The design is custom enough that you know your home is still unique to you
Custom homes
Purely custom homes mean that you start from scratch with an architect (and probably a designer) to build your dream home. You’ll be important in the process from the very beginning through the end since your Maryland home builders will need your input on all decisions.
Benefits of Custom
- You get a say in every decision that’s made from start to finish, but your contractors and builders handle the actual work
- The house that you choose is completely unique. No one has ever created it before
- Your new home will be perfectly tailored to your needs.
- You set the budget and work with the contractor to tweak and make sure everything fits
