This article lists the considerations when creating your custom home floor plan.
The custom home-building process should be easy, successful, and enjoyable for every homeowner from day one. Robin Ford Building knows that choosing your custom home’s floor plan and features can feel overwhelming, so we are here to keep the experience free of minor issues that can become problematic. This article lists the considerations when creating your custom home floor plan.
Current vs. Future Home Space
One of the first things you should consider is whether your custom home will be a forever home or a five-year home. Your needs will evolve over the years, so effective planning and creating a flexible floor plan will ensure every area of your home is practical even as your family dynamic changes. For instance, you might not need an extra bedroom now, but Robin Ford can help create a functional office space that you may convert into a bedroom later. Adding big spaces into a floor plan from the beginning is more straightforward than adding one down the road.
Your Lot Size
Another factor to consider is to pick out your custom home lot before building your house floor plan. Once you have selected a lot, your custom home floor plan must be appropriate for the dimensions of your available space and complement the surrounding homes.

The Land Features on Your Lot
Once you’ve chosen a lot, you must examine your home’s topography and layout. Will your custom home be on a busy road or behind a forest? Is there a particular area of your lot where the sun hits? If so, it may be perfect for large-picture windows. Our team at Robin Ford Building will collaborate with you to assess your homesite and design a luxury home floor plan that ideally suits the property.
Your Essentials
Before choosing any design for your home, ensure you know what your must-haves are. Do you need a large room for entertainment? Must have an open layout? It’s your custom home, so make sure you are getting it! Knowing ahead of time what is significant and what isn’t will make the selection process much smoother.
Home Layouts That Stand Out
Consider all the homes you have been in that you liked. What captivated your attention about the homes you have seen? Was it the layout of the bedrooms? Or the open concept of the main floor? Spend some time visiting homes in Maryland and note what interests you. These aspects can help guide the design of your custom home.
