Custom built homes are not as good as a customized Sketchpad home plan on the right lot.

Dispelling the Myth of Custom Built Homes

We take pride in designing homes that people love to live in. To ensure just that, the home plan you select has been carefully designed to create an intelligent, inspiring and inviting living space.

While other sites may boast plan customization as a feature, we believe that when you begin with the right home plan the only custom modifications necessary should be aesthetic, like choice of cabinetry. Even more so, quite often the only thing customization adds to a home is unnecessary building cost.

Following are what we consider the three most important areas you should invest your financial resources in instead of customization:

  1. Selecting the right lot. How big should the lot be? In a subdivision or not? Understanding how choosing the right lot impacts your home is crucial.
  2. Buying the right floor plan. Know what you want in a home by understanding your needs and wants, including budgets and your lifestyle. Additionally, ensuring that the house fits and properly complements your lot is critical to achieving the overall sense of balance and proportion between your home and the property it sits on.
  3. Building the best team. In any new home construction, there are literally hundreds of decisions to be made before the home is completed. That’s why we highly recommend that you take the time to find a qualified builder and interior designer who will listen to your needs and can guide your decisions.
