You can watch the housing market for years and never find exactly what you want – at least without the headache of renovations. The best way to get a home that checks all of your boxes is to work with a custom home builder! At Weaver Custom Homes, we have been developing unique and creative custom home solutions for a wide variety of locations, budgets and tastes since the 1950s. You deserve a beautiful, functional home that works for the unique needs of your family – and we can create that for you!
So, where do you start with customizations for your home plan? The possibilities can feel endless – even overwhelming! Check out home limitations to consider as well as some of the most exciting custom home features available for your home.
Limitations on Home Customizations
When you start to customize house plans, take a moment to consider any limitations that might influence your design. While we like to think the sky’s the limit – the truth is that there might be a few barriers to tackle when customizing your house plans. The key to avoiding disappointment throughout your home design process is to work with the right builders.
At Weaver Custom Homes, we work with you during every step of the design process. From the floor plans to the design and budget planning, you will be aware of any potential limitations from day one!
Geographic Factors
The geographic makeup of your land could potentially limit how your home design is customized. Before finalizing your custom floor plan and beginning construction, your builders should have an understanding of your land’s surface – considering changes in elevation, landscape, man–made features and more. The best way to do this is by obtaining a typographic map of your property, which will allow builders to plan out your customized design in a way that works with your land.
For example, the typographic map might inform you of the type of foundation you need, how a slope might impact your driveway, if you need a retaining wall to protect against erosion, and more. While these geographic limitations might not seem like a big deal, they will be important to keep in mind when customizing your house.
When you work with Weaver Custom Homes to customize house plans, we make sure your finalized design works with the geography of your land before construction begins. Say goodbye to surprise changes, you will know the plan from the start.
Home Owners Associations
Home Owners Associations (HOAs) are organizations that govern a housing community, set rules for residents, and collect fees that cover the costs of services and amenities. If you choose to build in a community with an active HOA, you cannot opt out of joining. This means that your builder will need to apply for a city building permit as well as an HOA approval before construction on your custom home begins. Your HOA might have the right to deny certain aspects of your custom home plans, so it’s important that your builder understands rules and regulations ahead of time.
While HOAs sometimes get a bad reputation, there are plenty of benefits to building in a community with an HOA. Your dues may cover services such as landscaping, snow removal, access to a community pool, and more! At Weaver Custom Homes, we will be the ones to work with your HOA to make sure your customized house plans get approved – you can sit back and dream about summers spent at the pool!
Permit and Material Delays
Another limitation often faced when designing custom house plans are delays. From sourcing materials to receiving approvals on permits and getting inspections scheduled, sometimes delays throw a wrench in the timeline of your custom home.
Much like HOA approval discussed above, permits can take a while to secure. This is due to the bureaucracy involved in issuing them, which is often out of the control of your builder. However, this is again when working with the right builder will make all the difference. At Weaver Custom Homes, we are experts in navigating the permit process and will keep you updated with any shifts in the timeline for your customized house plans.
Additionally, everything that goes into your house needs to be ordered – cabinets, toilets, countertops, and more. It goes without saying that your builder can’t complete a project without the needed materials. Choosing materials that are out of stock or difficult to find could potentially limit the design of your custom home. This may be frustrating, but the right builder will ensure your orders are placed early enough to receive shipments on time.
