Custom Home Building Challenges: How We Overcome And Innovate

It’s not uncommon for problems to arise throughout the process when constructing a custom build. While we work hard to make the process as seamless as possible, sometimes challenges are inevitable.

If you’re looking to start your own custom build, don’t stress! Keep reading to learn 5 of the most common custom home building challenges we face and how our team works with you to overcome them.

1. Poor Communication

One of the most important parts of a custom home build is communication. From communication between the homeowner and the builder to communication between the builder and suppliers, communication is key to a successful project. 

With that said, poor communication is one of the biggest challenges to overcome. To avoid this, we work to establish clear communication channels and encourage open feedback from the start.

If you as the homeowner want something to be built or don’t like how a project is working out, let us know right away so we can make it right!

2. Design Changes And Associated Added Costs

Another huge problem we encounter is design changes. While design changes aren’t always a problem if they’re made right away, they can become a problem if they’re decided late in the process.

The changes often result in added costs when they’re made late in the game making this a difficult problem to address.

With any change in the home build process, communication is key! To avoid added costs, communicate frequently and as early as possible to ensure your home can be built just as you’ve always hoped.

3. Material Delays

Material delays are not uncommon in the construction process. While we work hard to make sure everything is on time, some things are out of our control.

To avoid material delays, we plan ahead and try to order materials well in advance. We also regularly communicate with our suppliers to help plan for potential delays and have insight ahead of time.

4. Making Decisions

When going through the custom build process for the first time, it can be difficult to make decisions. We understand that making the right decision can become stressful at times. However, we can’t start your custom build when decisions aren’t made.

We’re here to help you make the right decision for you! We strive to provide clear information and expert guidance so you don’t have to go through the process alone.

We want you to feel empowered and confident in your ultimate choices.

5. Going Over Budget

One of the hardest obstacles to overcome is going over budget. Before we get into the design and building processes, we take time to sit down and discuss your budget. Then, everything else going forward is based on that budget.

But sometimes design changes and personal preferences can make it difficult to remain within the budget.

To ensure you’re pleased with the overall result, we keep open communication throughout the process. Your budget is a priority when considering what is reasonable for your custom home.

We’ll work with you to make sure your custom home stays within your set budget and communicate when problems that could affect it arise.
