[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Building with a production builder such as NVHomes, Toll, etc is very different vs. hiring your architect and a firm to complete the project.  IMO, it is only worth it if you do full custom as you are in the driver's seat in terms of material selection, design, and of course the quality of the people constructing the place.   As others have stated, it will cost more but if you have the budget , patience, and plan to stay at the place for some time,  well worth the effort.  [/quote]

+1.  What OP describes is like building in a development with a stock builder.  That’s not really custom. [/quote]

Well, frankly, if I could build with Toll or NV, I would! Unfortunately they don’t build on individual lots, and there are no new home developments near my preferred location. I am looking for a similar experience with a semi-custom builder. I am willing to invest a bit more time on floorplan and finishes than I did with Toll, but again, I don’t want to be on the site every day micromanaging the workers.[/quote]

If you are going to go through the trouble of purchasing your own lot, don't bother going with the low grade production builders, which includes NV Homes, etc. Get a reputable custom builder - they are out there.  [b]If you like NV Homes, etc, then it is far easier, less stressful, and cost effective  to go into one of their communities, pick a lot, and have them prop up the  box you want - with you selections of course.

I would love to do that, but there are no communities near where I want to live. Only teardowns.[/quote]
