What is a Custom Home?
A custom home is designed to the specifications of the person that commissioned it. The plans can be constructed by any high end architect or from your local draftsman. Custom plans are different than stock floor plans that can be sold to anyone. At Bartlett Homes & Services, we have a stock pile of plans that we change to fit the needs of our customers. We can also create new plans from scratch and work through every detail with the prospective home owner. A home will truly be custom when our design team studies the property and works hand-in-hand with the client to provide a one-of-a-kind home tailor made to fit them. Production homes are build by stock plans with bulk material and little to no change in design. These are usually what you see in new developments where every house looks relatively the same but has a different paint scheme. Customers will more than likely be very limited in selection because the builder buys in bulk and only has certain options available. In most cases a Custom Home Builder will build on land provided by the client. There is no material a custom builder cant use and no selection limitations. If you already have a particular set of plans for a home you wish to be build then you will need the services of a Custom Home Builder.
