The number of Americans building homes from scratch is on the rise. The reasons vary, of course, but most custom homebuyers agree that the excitement and sense of adventure associated with the home-building process are motivating factors. Here, opportunities for individual expression, creativity and experimental design abound! Some people want to build homes inspired by the most recent architectural design and home-building technologies, while others simply want certain floor plans, living spaces and various other amenities of living in a home that is newly constructed from top to bottom. The experience, in its entirety, is often a genuine source of joy for people.
