When you build your new home with a true custom home builder in Spring Branch TX, you can take advantage of benefits not available from existing homes or cookie-cutter builders. Here are 7 benefits of using a custom builder to create your new home:

1. The biggest benefit of building a custom home is obvious: you can get exactly what you want. You aren’t limited by a builder’s stock plans or pre-selected options. You can have your home designed from scratch or select a plan and have it altered to suit your exact needs and wants.
2. Flexibility can be designed into your home so it adapts to your changing needs. Instead of outgrowing your home, you can add more bedrooms in a pre-planned way, create an in-law suite or include aging-in-place features such as wide hallways and first-floor owner’s suites.
3. You can choose truly personalized details, from room sizes and exterior cladding right down to cabinet knobs and switchplate covers. A custom builder will work with you to create a home that fulfills your exact vision of the ideal house.
4. A brand new custom home can have the latest technology wired in from the start. No more retrofitting or cutting walls open to install smart home and security features or whole-house audio.
5. New homes are much more energy-efficient than older existing homes. Your utility bills will be lower than in a comparably sized older home.
6. New homes are also easier to maintain than older homes. You’ll be able to spend more time enjoying your home instead of working on it.
7. A custom builder will help you make the best use of your lot. Your home will be designed and placed to suit your lot’s topography and make the most of good views and other features.
