What Type of Home Builder for Construction of Your Home?

When you want a home built, you have to look for a home builder. A home builder will be able to build a home that you may spend the rest of your life in. This may be the home where you raise your children, have wonderful memories and live out your days. One of the things that you need to think about with your home builder is what kind of home builder you want. There are two types of home builders to choose from; custom home builder and production home builder. These two home builders build homes but they do it in a very different manner. So, when you need a construction on a home, which should you choose? To answer quickly, it is primarily based on your needs and the amount of money you can spend. However, let's delve a little further into the differences between a production home builder and a custom home builder.

A custom home builder will build on the land that you own and very few custom builders own the land they build on but they are the minority. One of the biggest advantages for a custom home builder is that they build custom and unique houses that are built to a specific plan that you help create. Typically, a custom home builder will build single-family homes rather than larger buildings like condos and apartments. On average, custom home builders will build 25 or fewer homes in all and the homes they do build tend to be high-end homes that cost more.

A production home builder will build land on property that they own. This land is bought by the home builder, the home is built and then you buy the home and the plot of land from the home builder. The production home builder will not build custom and unique homes and will instead build based on plans that you have limited choices over. You can choose types of counters, carpeting and extras like that but overall you buy what the builder makes without consultation. A production home builder will also build many different types of homes including rental properties, townhouses, condos and single-family houses. Unlike a custom home builder, the production home builder will make many more than 25 homes a year. Production home builders also build homes for all price levels, from entry-level to luxury.
