A regular home generally has very limited options from which you get to choose. The options may include a few options of bricks to choose from, or a couple of designs of tiles to choose from. However, when working on a custom house, the sky is the limit! You get to design your own home from the bottom-up. Anything is possible, it can even become your chance to have the house of your dreams. This means not only do you get to choose the flooring, ceiling, woodwork, but the architecture itself would be according to what you want and what is in your preference.

Since it is a process that needs a lot of attention to detail, it can sometimes take up-to a year or two. Omitting the time spent on looking for a lot, the designing usually takes 2-3 months, permit from the city authorities takes up around 2-3 months and around a year for construction (of a 4-5k square foot home). It can obviously vary according to your project and the situation that comes up. Sometimes, even if your house is smaller in size, it can take up a lot of time due to the complexities of it like a special ceiling or the mechanical or electrical needs to it. Sometimes even finishes in your kitchen or bathroom can be very complicated and time-consuming. There are other scenarios that can prolong your project as well for example if you keep getting setbacks from the local authorities on permission regarding building the place. One of the problems people usually face is height restriction if people decide to build too heightened of a building. Other issues could be your lot is too close to a watercourse or you have heritage restrictions. And lastly, your project could simply be too large and complex for it to be completed in a comparatively shorter time period.
