In those cases your choices are limited by what’s available. What you see is pretty much what you get. With a brand new home you may have some flexibility when it comes to choosing a model, but once you choose your model there’s not a lot of additional choices to make.

There is a lot of emphasis on making things easy to access this day—whether it’s access to information, entertainment, news, or items you want to purchase. But what about providing for accessibility within your own home?

Building custom homes is a very personal business. That’s because a custom home isn’t some commodity. It’s much more than a property and plans and materials. It’s a place for you and your family to live comfortably and securely and build memories. And that’s why you don’t just deal with a company when it’s time to build your home—you interact with the people that make up that company.
