Tips for Building on a Budget

Custom Doesn't Always Mean Expensive with Our Team

When people hear the word "custom," they often imagine a hefty price tag. However, at Concept Custom Homes, we take pride in making custom homes more affordable without compromising on quality. Here are some tips to help you create a home that fits your budget.

Just the Right Size

The cost of a custom home is significantly influenced by its size. We offer custom floorplans ranging from compact ranch-style homes at around 1,100 square feet to expansive multi-story homes over 3,000 square feet. Regardless of the footprint, all our floorplans are designed to maximize space efficiently. Features like tall ceilings, abundant natural light, and open layouts can make even modestly sized homes feel spacious.

Simplicity Saves

Our custom homes come in a variety of elevations, some more elaborate than others. Opting for a simpler, classic design can save you money, allowing you to invest in interior features or high-end fixtures. Even our less expensive elevations are built with high-quality materials, ensuring a luxurious look and feel.

Smart Choices: Upgrades vs. Included Features

While high-end upgrades like granite countertops and hardwood flooring are attractive, we offer plenty of cost-effective alternatives that look and feel just as beautiful. For instance, luxury vinyl flooring can mimic hardwood at a lower cost, and durable laminate countertops can be an affordable alternative to granite or quartz.

Prioritizing What's Important

We start by identifying your "must-have" features and prioritizing them within your budget. If there are specific upgrades you desire, we can incorporate those while using included features for other aspects of your home. Our commitment to high-quality materials, fixtures, and windows means long-term savings on maintenance and energy costs.

Choosing the Right Lot

Selecting the right lot can also lead to significant savings. Consider factors like the need to clear brush, install septic systems, or create long driveways, as these can add to the overall cost. We offer free home site evaluations to help you understand potential expenses and make informed decisions.

At Concept Custom Homes, we work closely with you to create a home that you love without breaking the bank. Contact us today to explore your options!
