THE BENEFITS OF CUSTOM-BUILT HOMES
Looking for your forever home is a significant life decision. One of the first choices you’ll face is whether to opt for a pre-existing home or embark on the journey of custom building. Purchasing an existing home offers more convenience, but the benefits of custom building your home or addition can often outweigh buying an older home and remodeling.
Tailored to Your Lifestyle
When buying a home off the market, the floor plan is typically what you see is what you get. Sometimes soliciting the desire to make major changes that would require knocking down walls and investing significant time and money to get things exactly how you want them. A custom-built home means you are guaranteed the opportunity to create a floor plan that fits your lifestyle. From the number of bedrooms to the layout of your kitchen, every detail can be customized to suit your specific needs.
Energy Efficiency & Sustainability
Your custom home or addition will naturally be more dependable. Not only will you be able to avoid costly renovations and repairs, but you’ll also have the opportunity to incorporate the latest energy-efficient technologies and sustainable materials into your home design. New technological advancements make new products more energy efficient, and can positively impact your monthly living costs.
Quality Craftsmanship
Custom building your home or addition gives you total control. No decision is out of your hands. You have control over the quality of materials and craftsmanship. You’re allowed to work closely with architects and builders, like KBUILD! Working with KBUILD would ensure that your home is constructed to the highest standards. Our level of attention to detail results in homes that not only meet but exceed the expectations of our customers.
More Cost-Effective in the Long Run
The initial cost of custom building may seem higher than buying a pre-existing home, but you should consider the long-term financial benefits. Since custom-built homes are typically more energy-efficient, they require less maintenance over time. In addition to this, you won’t have to deal with the unpredictable costs of upkeep and repairs that come with buying an existing home.
Choice of Land
Embarking on a custom-build journey also means that you get more control over your home’s location. You have more freedom to build in a specific area or on an individual lot that you have in mind. Most newer constructed homes are part of a subdivision where the builders are motivated to keep the lot sizes small so they can build more homes. Whether you want to be a part of a community like that, want the seclusion of a more private lot, or have lots of acreage, you have the power to decide what will be the best for your home.
Choosing to follow through with a custom-built home or addition is a transformative experience. It allows you to craft a space that aligns with your lifestyle, values, and future. Depending on what you’re looking for, a custom build is a great option. If you’re ready to embark on this unique journey of home ownership, consider the advantages of partnering with KBUILD. Over the years, KBUILD has had the pleasure of being trusted with numerous custom-built projects for our customers. We are passionate about our work, as it’s where dreams come to life.

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s build it! There is no time like today to start planning for your dream home. It takes about as long to build a plan as it does to build a home. Here are the next steps you should take to get started:
You will want to start by asking yourself how many square feet you would like your new home to be, then how many bedrooms and bathrooms, and what type of finish on the outside (brick, stone, siding, etc.). Pull some inspirational pictures together of homes that resemble the style of home you would like to build.
Select a builder (KBUILD wink wink). Check out our previous blog post covering questions to ask a potential custom home builder.
Begin the architectural process with your builder. This will save you in the end. Your builder can make you aware of other options or suggestions you might not be thinking of.
Let the KBUILD DESIGN staff guide you through selections to ensure an in-depth and accurate proposal for your new home build.
