Nubuildz Custom Home Search Portal: Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a difference between a custom home and a spec home?
A custom home is a house designed and created specifically tailored to the customer. The buyer has a hand in every decision and nuance. The home is designed and built to fit their specific lifestyle everywhere. From the inside out, top to bottom.
On the other hand, a spec home is where the builder designs and builds using their company designs. The buyer has no input in the home’s design but can select some finishes depending on how far into the house’s building process it is when listed for sale.
How long does it take to build a custom home?
Each custom home is unique. No two homes take the same time to build. However, custom homes take longer than spec homes since they are intricate and complex. On average, a custom home can take from 12 to 18 months to finish. Most professional builders can provide customers with a build timeline laying out what to expect and how it will take.
Can a builder help me find a lot to build my custom home?
If the client doesn’t have a lot ready for building a custom home, a good builder can help you find one. Clients should look for lots in neighborhoods that fit their criteria and price range.
Can I take a tour of one of your completed projects?
When searching for a custom home builder, it’s a good idea to ask to see some of their completed projects. Many builders are more than happy to give a tour of one of their complete custom homes. They also have photos and videos of constructed homes. Also many home builder associations sponsor a “Parade of Homes” once or twice a year. This is a good time to see and walk through completed homes of local builders.
Can you provide me with your customer list for references?
Speaking to a satisfied customer is the best way to understand what to expect from a custom home builder. Many custom builders are happy to provide new clients with customer references to speak to directly about their custom home building experience.
