Building a custom home is a substantial investment that lets you create your dream home from the ground up. Many families can benefit from building a custom home suited to their needs, tastes, and lifestyles. However, people may be discouraged from custom home building due to myths and misconceptions. At Robin Ford Builders, we have extensive experience designing and building custom homes. We can tell you which myths should be ignored so you know exactly what to expect during your home-building process. Let us debunk the following myths for you.
Myth 1: You Must Be a Design Guru
The idea of designing a home from scratch can be daunting to anyone, partly because many believe they are entirely responsible for the design of their new home. While you can be as involved in the process as you wish, you do not have to have design experience to build a custom home. You just need some ideas of what you want, and the design experts you hire can work with you to create a feasible and appealing plan.
Myth 2: Custom Home Building Takes Too Long
Building a custom home does take some time, but it doesn’t take an extremely long time. Like building any other house, the time it takes depends on different factors. The size of the home, the land it is built on, and the project’s complexity will influence timelines. Bad weather can also impact a home-building process.
When you choose an experienced team, such as our crew at Robin Ford Builders, you can trust that your home will be built efficiently. The best custom builders know how to keep the project moving without cutting corners or compromising your vision. After your new home is finished, the wait will have been well worth it.
Myth 3: There Are Hidden Expenses Involved
Many people believe they will be surprised by hidden expenses when they start custom home building. When you partner with a reputable custom home builder, they are straightforward in terms of pricing and will show you precisely what you are paying for. When you work with an experienced builder, you can also work with them to customize your project budget and even save money by selecting the best layouts, sizes, and design elements.
Myth 4: Communication with Home Builders Is a Nightmare
You may have been scared off of custom home building through hearing experiences of difficult communication with home builders. Again, this is where we stress the importance of choosing a reputable home builder for your project. At Robin Ford Builders, we take pride in our communication skills and take care to keep our clients involved and informed. Working with a trustworthy home builder is the key to a successful home-building experience.
