What Should I Ask a Builder About Customizing My Home?

Let’s look at what “custom” really means — and how to bring your ideas to life.

Custom isn’t just a word we use in homebuilding — it’s the heart of what makes your home different from anyone else’s. I’m Andrew, and I’ll be working alongside you at Travars Built Homes to shape the spaces that matter most to your family. While I’ll guide you through this in person during your build, I wanted to share a few thoughts ahead of time. Here’s what I see when we talk about what “custom” can really mean in your home.

 “Custom” can mean different things to different people. What does custom mean to you, as you consider what you want your new home to have?

We work with you to design/build special spaces, when everything else you’re looking at doesn’t capture what you envision. 

Because the way you see the flow in your home and how you plan to live and grow there is something only you will know.

Maybe you need an extra en-suite for your family as time passes. Or maybe it’s just for your princess.

You might be looking that perfect kitchen with a secret pantry ( or secret second kitchen) Time out in a man cave. A home gym with room to stretch – areas of importance to you that aren’t always offered on floor plans.

We work with you to customize your plan and help you compare it to other plans.

Phil and I are true Builder Brothers. We work closely with you throughout the build process to help ensure your home is truly yours.

Whether you’re considering something classic, colonial, clever, contemporary or just about any architectural style, inside and out, I always enjoy the opportunity to be creative together, being a part of ideas, transforming them to paper and to reality.

No matter what “custom” means to you, Travars Built Homes will look at the possibilities. Because, to me, “custom” doesn’t just mean minor changes, like renaming a “dining room” to say “office” on a set of plans – it is so much more.

Looking forward to re-imagining your plan together.
