True Customization – It’s the Difference That Can Make Your Dream Home

At Hallmark Homes Group, we offer true customization to fit your specific lifestyle. But what does that mean? Let’s take a look at customization and options, and how they are different. Customize Your New Home Builders often begin your home design with a preset floor plan. They offer many additional features such as fireplaces, extended living spaces and patio or deck additions that can be added to the home design. In the industry, these features are called options or upgrades. As you shop for the right home, many builders refer to these options as “customization”, but in reality although a long list may be available, your choices are limited to specific items that can be added to your home. Often, when inquiring further you will find that your individual requests, which require true customization, cannot be accommodated. True customization means a plan is modified with your specific wants and needs in mind.  What sets Hallmark apart is that we will truly customize your floor plan. We are willing to move a wall, add a room, install custom cabinetry and do much more to realize your dreams in your new home. For example, cooking may be your passion. A larger kitchen may be ideal so you can create gourmet meals for family and friends. You need a builder who will design a custom configuration that will provide ample room to accommodate the near-professional amenities you need so it truly becomes the hub of your entertaining. Or another possibility may be your customized home office. Often, converting an upstairs bedroom isn’t an ideal option due to equipment or other necessities of running your business. Adding a downstairs room and even adding a separate entrance for privacy can give you the space and flexibility you need to manage work and family. Again, a builder like Hallmark Homes Group will work with you to make the space a perfect fit. If you are looking to customize the design of your new home, here are two things to do that will help to ensure that you will be totally satisfied.

  1.  Spend time pre-thinking about your layout.

When a home is just a shell, it can be difficult to picture your life inside. Imagine the ways the home can make your life easier and more efficient or make your family more comfortable. Will it fit your oversized furniture or provide enough storage for your needs? The more you explore your lifestyle needs in advance, the better chance you will find a builder – and a home design – to customize it to the right fit.

  1.  Communicate and articulate. 

Most importantly, make sure that you communicate your individual needs clearly with your sales counselor, designer and builder. Making assumptions could lead to something that is restricting or isn’t suited to you, your family or your lifestyle. Articulating your vision and reasons why your changes are important is the key to guaranteeing that your dream comes to life.
