You have decided to build the custom home of your dreams and are ready to brainstorm with a custom home builder. Communicating your preferences clearly and concisely can help your builder understand your desires and goals to deliver results that you will love. What are some of the best ways to produce a successful and pain-free design process? This is done by collecting inspiration and evaluating what you like and dislike. As a result, this will make your design preparation easier with your builder. This blog post shares tips for helping you design your ideal home with your custom home builder.
Create a Pros and Cons List
We are probably familiar with the pros and cons list. When it comes to the design of your home, it’s natural to list all the things you want, but writing down your “don’t wants” is just as important. For instance, you may love the idea of a pool in your yard, but you may not enjoy installing a water feature. Listing out these preferences before the design preparation process begins with your custom home builder. As a result, this will increase your satisfaction from the beginning to the end.

Become a Visual with Your Custom Home Builder
Any designer or custom home building company would agree that their work is visual. Remember, the best way to communicate your ideas is through photos. Cut out the pictures if you are receiving inspiration from homes you have seen in magazines! If the photos are from online sources, bring those, too. Each piece of visual inspiration will assist your custom home builder in comprehending what you see for your dream house and simplifying the process.
Be Specific with Your Builder
Add a note below each photo you have in your idea book that describes in words what it is about that space that made you include it. This includes what you love about the photo, how you think it ties into the rest of your custom home, and where else you may wish to include this design. Let your custom home builder know every detail because it will help them in the long run to create your vision.
