When it comes to building your dream home, everything has to be just right. Bringing your unique vision to life requires exceptional attention to detail and extensive expertise, along with an understanding that this is your forever space, so it needs to be perfect.
Unfortunately, many volume builders struggle to bridge the gap between the basics and your vision. As they only construct pre-designed homes, they are limited in their scope. That’s where custom building comes in. This tailored and personalised service means that you receive a home that’s uniquely yours, with all the features, fixtures and finishes you envisioned.
Custom Building Process
The custom building process also gives you a chance to build and develop a relationship with your builder, as you work hand-in-hand to get the job done. The building journey is just that – a journey – but with a little effort, can run smoothly and seamlessly. In order to give your project the best chance of success, it’s essential you choose a builder that knows what they are doing. A custom project means the potential for variations and in some cases, issues. Having a team that can use their expertise to work through these and achieve your desired result will make a huge difference to the end product.
Custom Timelines
It’s also worth remembering that a custom home means custom timelines. Schedules are always designed to be as accurate as possible, but in some cases, things can get in the way. One way to limit any delays is through strong communication. A great builder should keep the lines of communication open with regular updates, either via phone, email, an online portal or in person. However, it’s also important that you as the client are also communicative, delivering decisions on selections and details in a timely manner. By doing so, you can ensure timelines, budgets and quality expectations are met to expectation.
Finally, while timeliness is key, there is a temptation to rush the final stages of a project. We always advise to take your time at this point – the devil is in the detail, and as much as both parties want to see a finished home as soon as possible, rushing through the final stages can often result in mistakes, or hastily made decisions.
A custom home means a unique journey, with its own set of challenges and triumphs. However, with the right builder, exceptional communication and a shared desire for quality, it’s a journey that can just as enjoyable as the home you end up living in.
