3 Considerations When Building a Custom Home
Land: When building a custom home in Cincinnati, be sure that the zoning laws and covenants of the community will allow for your building plans. Here are some examples:
-
Are you allowed to park a boat or RV on your property?
-
Are there minimums on the square footage of a home?
-
Are there exterior facades and finishing requirements?
-
Are pets, fences, and accessory buildings allowed?
Budget: Many people wind up paying 15% more on their custom built home due to a poorly designed budget plan. At J Schmidt Homes it is our priority to work closely with our clients to develop a budget that is thorough and that achieves maximum results. It starts with understanding your vision and expectations, then balancing those expectations with home size and material costs.

Home Plans: With custom home builders there are two main components, the size of the home and the materials used. Decisions such as hardwood flooring vs. carpet, cabinetry, counter-tops, and the mechanics of the home will need to be made. Our pricing and consultation is customized to meet your budget based on the options you prioritize and the cost of those materials and products.
Production Homes vs. Custom Home Builders: We'll create for you the right balance between home size, materials, and budget. We are going to custom build your home with the quality and integrity you expect. When size takes precedence over quality, as with production builders, a home owner is at risk of having to repair and/or replace faulty materials 5, 10, or 15 years down the road. We are going to build for you a custom home that is built to last and that will retain and grow its value for the many years to come.
