Newport II custom home, Naples Reserve
When building a home, one of the first questions should be, do I want a home to fit my needs? or my dream home built to my specifications? If you’ve answered the latter, then here’s why you should build a custom home:
Expect to pay more for a custom home, this will depend on many aspects of how you customize the home, with the most obvious being the size of the home, the intricacy of its design, the building products and materials you select. The great thing about most custom builders, is they’re certified to build in specific gated communities and non-gated communities, so they’ve scoped out the best lots possible and can build on any lot you choose!
Many beautiful custom homes can range in cost from just under a million dollars to well into a couple million dollars plus. This will all depend on the style of home, size, materials used and the needs of the homeowner.

Once you select a custom builder, work with an architect (you can simply this by working with a custom home builder who is a design build firm, meaning the architect is also the builder) to identify a style of design that’s your dream home. When building a custom home, your choices are mainly limited by your budget.
The main factor to consider when working with a custom builder, is to establish a realistic budget and to stick to it! Don’t let those fancy cabinets, countertops or glitzy designer choices, entice you into going over budget. Remember to do your homework ahead of time, most home buyers realize that additional customization will increase the home’s price, however don’t let unexpected costs can take you by surprise. Build in a cushion into the budget you’re comfortable with, this way any additional expenditures emerge you’re financially prepared for them.

Get to know the builder/owner, you’ll be spending a lot of time with them. As the buyer, have clear and concise communication, goals and expectations. Because the process of building a custom home can be overwhelming due to the complex choices that have to be made in the design phase, you’ll typically spend a lot more time designing (exterior and interior) your new dream home! Having a knowledgeable, reputable and detailed custom home builder, that’s proactive, and keeps you abreast of all progress, will result in a smooth custom home building process.
The amount of time it takes to build a custom home, is dependent on many factors. It can take conservatively a year to well over a year or two. This is something to discuss with the builder in the design phase.
