Debunking Custom Home Building Myths

While the idea of a custom home sounds incredible, many homeowners avoid building a custom Victoria BC home for all kinds of reasons. Many of these reasons are misconceptions that have little to no truth, so today we are here to debunk them! If you are serious about building a custom home, make sure you have your facts straight and read the top 5 most common custom home building myths below: 

Myth 1: Custom homes always go over budget.
The most common reason that people do not build custom homes is that they think the project may be outside of their budget. A trusted Victoria custom home builder will work with you to design your dream home within your budget, and won’t try to upsell you or charge you for things you do not need. Unexpected costs are a danger in any construction project, but a good custom home builder will plan ahead and be able to work those into your budget.

Myth 2: You need design experience.
Just because you are building a custom home does not mean that you need to design it yourself! When you choose to build a custom home, there are many experts in design, architecture, and construction who are there to help you along the way. And the best part? Your team can present you with options, and the final say is always yours.

Myth 3: Building a custom home is very complicated.
Building a custom home requires a lot of different elements to come together, but this does not mean the responsibility falls on you alone to do this. Your custom home building team will help you go through the process step by step, which makes the whole process manageable and even enjoyable!

Myth 4: Custom homes take a long time to build.
Did you know that the timeline for building a custom home is actually similar to the timeline for building any other home? Once the design and feature selection process is over, construction will go ahead and take just as long as any other home construction.

Myth 5: Custom home builders have poor communication skills.
