Difference Between Tract Home Builders and Custom Home Builders

When looking to build a new home build, you have a few options: you can choose to work with a tract home builder or custom home builder. The two are very different and it’s important to understand what each provides so that you choose the right partner when beginning your new home build project.

Tract Home Builder
Also known as production home builders, these companies buy large areas of land, create subdivisions and then sell individual land plots to homeowners. Minor customizations can be made to the homes, but generally, they all have the same features, layout and amenities. Since these are volume builders, sometimes the quality of construction and finishes can be compromised.

Custom Home Builder
As the name implies, these companies build one-of-a-kind homes for clients. The focus is on creating a fully customized home that fits the client’s needs and as a result, custom home builders focus on delivering quality over quantity. The right custom home builder will be full service and can help you find the perfect land to build on, secure financing, design the home and oversee every part of the construction.

If you’re going to invest in building a home, don’t settle for a cookie-cutter home with a tract builder, make sure you’re able to design a space that fits your specific wants and needs. Work with a reputable custom home builder to realize the home of your dreams.
