The Difference Between Custom Builders And Volume Builders

When people begin the process of building a house, the first

decision they make is whether to choose a custom home builder or a volume home

builder. Custom and volume builders are two categories of builders, and there

is a big difference between the two.


So, what exactly does a custom home builder do?


Well, when you purchase a service from a custom home

builder, you are paying for a builder who builds homes to your specifications

and taste, as well as your lifestyle, throughout the entire building process.


What are the advantages of hiring custom home builders?


You can personalize the design of your house based on your

preferences when it comes to the layout, materials, and finishes. Custom

builders have the ability to include features that you want; this could range

from energy systems to the unique architectural details you have in mind.


Approach, in Action. You work directly with the builder and design professionals,

and this is a hands on process that fosters collaboration. Typically, custom

home builders use high quality materials and skilled craftsmen to produce high

quality results.


Things to Consider:


Since building custom homes takes both

design and construction time and since a high degree of detail and

customization is involved, this is often costlier and more time consuming than hiring a production builder.



What does a volume home builder do?


A production builder is a term used to describe builders who

engage in volume construction; that is, they build many homes at a time in

specific developments or communities. There are limited options for variation

in designed floor plans and customization is restricted to help streamline the

building process.


What are the benefits of choosing production builders?


Affordable Pricing Advantage: Because the builders are

constructing on a large scale, they are able to offer cost effective prices.


Quicker Schedules. Using procedures and repeated blueprints

result in reduced construction durations.


Selecting from pre-made templates can be easier since they

are convenient and simple.


Things to Consider:


You may have to sacrifice on the design or the material you

want. Homes in the neighborhoods have a common design and atmosphere as

compared to other homes in the area. The quality may also be poor since the

builders tend to cut costs. The craftsmanship and the materials used may also

be affected as a result.
