What is a Custom Home?

A custom home is designed for you from scratch. Forget developer plans and cookie-cutter aesthetics, your home will be designed by you, for you. You’ll control the number of bedrooms, number of stories, your layout, your flooring, your doors, your windows, your appliances, your staircase, your exterior, everything. Custom homes are great because they give you so much choice beyond 2 or 3 developer layouts. You’re unique, and now your home will be too.

Benefits of Custom Homes Oak Bay

• You Pick the Location. Have you ever found the perfect home but the location kind of ruined it for you? Location is more important than people think, yet it’s sometimes overlooked. Location issues will become a thing of the past when you build custom since you choose your land yourself! It can be big enough for all of your outdoor fun or small and tucked away in a forest, it’s your call!  
• You Pick the Size. From the height of the ceilings to the size of the kitchen to the total square footage of your home, it’s all up to you. Whether you want a 3000 sq. ft. behemoth or a cozy 1000 sq. ft. cottage, the choice is yours.
• Your Home Fits Your Lifestyle. When you build a custom home in Oak Bay, you can tailor your home to match everything about you and your family. If you love to entertain and want a second living room or you love to read and want a library with a large window seat, you can have it. You can choose the purpose of every room to suit your lifestyle without compromise.
• You Choose the Materials. Every element of your exterior and interior is your choice. You choose the quality of materials, the colours, the textures, and the style. From your roof to your floors and everything in between, you select it all. If you want a jacuzzi tub and a large fireplace or fancy kitchen appliances and a cherrywood staircase, you can have them. Every aspect of your home is yours to decide, and you won’t have to make a single sacrifice.
• You Set the Budget. The best part of building a custom home is you decide how much you want to spend. It can be frustrating to find the perfect home and have to turn it down because the asking price is too high, so instead, build it yourself at a budget you set. You won’t have to pay a penny more than what you can afford, and you won’t have to settle for a home you don’t want just because it’s affordable.
