Custom home building is trending well in the construction market, and rightly so. Custom homes not only allow you to practice your utmost discretion in designing the home of your dreams exactly the way you pictured it but also enables you to customize the construction process according to your budgeting goals and personal preferences. You can create a unique home that perfectly aligns with your lifestyle as well as the specific needs and requirements of your family.
The Latest Trends
Studies indicate that there has been a steady growth in the number of custom home builds in North America over the last few years. Also, it has been established that the custom home market share is likely to experience phases of lulls and resurgence in the next couple of years. The majority of the growth is expected to occur in single-family home construction.
Green Homes Trends
The one major trend in custom home building that is becoming extremely popular is that of ‘green’ homes. More and more homeowners are becoming environment conscious and willing to incorporate sustainable raw materials such as reclaimed wood in constructing the various elements of their custom homes.
Energy Efficient Homes Trends
In addition to that, homeowners and builders are now more focused on enhancing the overall energy efficiency of the custom homes by employing the use of better insulation, energy efficient windows, radiant barrier roof decking, geothermal cooling and heating, tankless water heaters, efficient HVAC systems, star energy appliances and LED lighting to reduce carbon footprint and lower their monthly energy costs.
Open Concept Trends
Another highlight of the contemporary custom home building is open plan layouts that allow a seamless flow of energy from the outdoors to the indoors and promote uninterrupted movement from one area of the house to another.
