The idea of building a custom home that’s uniquely yours is an exciting venture. Custom home building allows you to imprint your personality and lifestyle into every corner of your residence. With Better Built Homes, our expertise and experience are your valuable resources on this journey. This guide offers an in-depth look into the custom home design and building process, ensuring you understand every step involved.

Our Custom Home Design Process:

Building a custom home begins with the design process. Your vision takes shape at this stage, and our role as your luxury custom home builders is to guide you through it, ensuring your dream home remains at the heart of our blueprint.

We are happy to present our new Bespoke division of Better Built Homes. Bespoke by Better Built is our custom home-building service, and we couldn’t be more excited about taking your dream home from fantasy to reality. 

Whether you’ve got your plans sorted and trying to find a builder or want the full custom builder experience, Bespoke by Better Built is here to help.

Using our same loyal trades, suppliers and Better Built Homes values, you will get an honest and transparent experience like no other.

Identify Your Wants and Needs: 

Start by distinguishing your must-haves from your wish-list items. Think about the number of rooms, the layout, the special features, and even the general aesthetic you desire. Whether you’re looking for single storey homes or double storey homes, we can guide you.

Select the Right Architect: 

Better Built Homes offer a streamlined approach to custom home building. We cater specifically to our Bespoke clients by providing the option to collaborate with skilled architects who deeply understand and appreciate your unique vision. If you choose not to hire your own architect, we provide the services of an experienced in-house senior draftsperson to cater exclusively to your needs. This allows us to maintain a high degree of involvement throughout the home-building process, promoting seamless coordination and added convenience for our clients. With Better Built Homes, you can trust us to transform your vision into a reality with impeccable precision and unmatched quality.

Develop Preliminary Design: 

This broad-stroke design captures the overall concept of your dream home. Adjustments can be made during this stage to ensure we align with your vision.

Finalise the Design: 

Here, we’ll refine the preliminary design, detailing specific materials, finishes, and specifications. This final design will guide the custom home building process.

Our Custom Home Building Process:

Building a custom home is a significant project, but at Better Built Homes, we streamline the process to make it as smooth as possible. Here’s how we ensure your custom home is built to perfection:

1. Site Preparation and Foundation: The first step involves preparing the land and laying the foundation. Our team takes meticulous care to ensure a solid base for your home.
2. Framing: This stage involves constructing the skeleton of your home. It’s exciting to see the design start to take physical shape.
3. Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC Installations: These systems are installed at this stage, often called the “rough-in” phase.
4. Interior Finishes: Here, your choices for finishes, colours, textures, and fixtures are brought to life. This is where the real character of your home begins to shine.
5. Final Touches: The last step involves finishing the exterior, landscaping, and final inspections.

Understanding the Cost of Building a Custom Home:

One common question we encounter is, “What is the cost to build a custom home?” The answer varies widely as it depends on several factors: design complexity, location, chosen materials, and even the current market conditions. At Better Built Homes, we believe in transparency. We’ll walk you through a comprehensive cost estimation, ensuring you understand where every dollar is spent.
