Benefits of Building a Semi-Custom Home

Published by Classic Homes

Choosing a semi-custom home builder is a smart way to get a brand new home tailored to your needs without paying the price of a fully custom build.

What is a semi-custom home?

“Semi-custom” means that the builder offers a selection of pre-designed home plans that you can alter to suit your needs and wishes. These alterations go well beyond the usual small changes allowed by traditional builders. Here at Classic Homes, customizations can be as large as adding an entire suite for multigenerational living. Throughout the customizing process we’ll work with you to create the home you want.

Why choose semi-custom over a custom home?

Fully custom homes generally cost more and take longer to build than the same size semi-custom homes. You’ll also have many more decisions to make if you have to design a home from scratch. Going with a semi-custom builder can save you time and money while creating a tailored home personalized for your lifestyle.

At Classic Homes, we’ve found that semi-custom homes are the way to go for most people who want new homes. That’s why we offer a wide selection of pre-made home designs that you can alter in large and small ways. You also have the pleasure of selecting the finishes and fixtures that will make your dream home unique.

We have three series of designs:

Heritage Series is our 2-story home plan collection. These designs range from 3,240-8,930 square feet for the base plan. They can be expanded with additional living space, garage bays, porches and more. Heritage Series homes feature popular styles such as Modern Farmhouse, Colonial and Mediterranean.

Estate Series features our largest and most luxurious homes. At 6,530-15,885 square feet in the base plans, these too can be expanded to suit your needs. Options include prep kitchens, multigenerational or housekeeper suites, elevators, solariums, meditation rooms and more.
