A Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Custom Home: Part 2

At Wayne Homes, we believe that building the custom home of your dreams should be easy, affordable, and fun. That’s why we’ve developed a simple building process and a team of helpful and friendly professionals to walk you through each step.

In Step 1 of our Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Custom Home, we reviewed just how easy it is to get started by working with your New Home Consultant to complete our complimentary custom home planning tool, the Personal Value List.

Once you and your New Home Consultant have identified all of the features that are important to your family in your new home, it’s time for Step 2: selecting a floor plan and building site.

Selecting a Floor Plan

With more than 40 custom home floor plans to choose from and a nearly unlimited number of customization options, selecting a floor plan can be overwhelming. Fortunately, we offer lots of online tools including interactive floor plans, virtual tours, and a kitchen design tool that you can access anywhere, anytime.

But perhaps the best way to select the right floor plan is to review your Personal Value List with your New Home Consultant. Watch how working with a New Home Consultant in selecting your custom home floor plan can make the process simple and stress free:

In addition to helping you select your floor plan, your New Home Consultant can help you envision how to customize your home based on the wants and needs on your Personal Value List. Wayne Homes New Home Consultants have helped buyers create literally thousands of customizations over the years, and their knowledge and expertise can be an invaluable resource for making the process of envisioning your dream home both personal and fun.

Selecting a Building Site

Whether you plan to build a home in a rural location or within an established neighborhood, our team can help you find the right location for your custom home. Many Wayne Homes customers do not have a building site selected when they first contact us, so our team helps customers just like you find, purchase, and finance a building site. Once you’ve selected your Wayne Home floor plan, we’ll even complete a Complimentary Homesite Evaluation before you purchase your building site. During the evaluation we can help you plan the placement of your home, envision natural light, review the footprint of your home, discuss outdoor space, and recommend customizations that can help you maximize your home and your location.
