What Is Custom Home Building?

What Is Custom Home Building?

A custom home builder caters to creativity and luxury. If standard dimensions and ordinary finishes won’t do, a custom build could be the answer to achieving your dream home.

What are the options?

Sekas Homes can accommodate many situations, including:

  • Building on your own lot
  • Building a single-family home on a lot Sekas Homes owns
  • Building a one-of-a-kind custom home using a template floor plan as a starting point—you can choose to build upon that floor plan as-is or fully customize it
  • Using high-end materials to construct a luxury home that suits your tastes

Unlike production builders, Sekas Homes completes a smaller volume of homes every year, allowing us to spend more time and attention on your individual project. We definitely focus more on quality than quantity to ensure each of our customers is 100 percent satisfied.

What types of features are found in custom-built homes?

  • Three-car garage
  • Exterior stone and brick accents
  • Architectural columns
  • Masonry walkways
  • High-quality roofing materials
  • Two-story foyers

How do you know custom home building is right for you?

If you’re not sure custom home building is the best option, ask yourself a few questions. If you answer ‘yes,’ then you know the best way to achieve your dream home is through custom home building:

  • Are you a good decision-maker? Without a cookie-cutter mold to adhere to, you are in charge of deciding every aspect of your custom home.
  • Do you have time to enjoy a custom home? After spending the extra time and effort to build it, you want to be around enough to enjoy your new home.
  • Can you hand over control? While your opinion comes first, you need to be flexible if your requests don’t comply with material availability or building codes.
  • Do you enjoy being part of an ongoing project that is subject to change? Building a home is an exciting project to be involved with. Just remember that things can change along the way.
