Deep dives
Understanding Custom Build
Custom build offers an approach where buyers engage in the design and development of their homes with professional support throughout the process. Unlike traditional self-builds where individuals manage many tasks themselves, custom builds provide a guided experience from selecting a plot to final construction. This support structure allows homeowners to express their preferences for layout and specifications while ensuring that the build remains within budget. Ultimately, this model caters to those who wish to be involved in the design while avoiding the complexities of construction management.
