Top Custom Home Building Trends

Considering the construction of a custom home? Custom home builders are now reporting the rise of an increasing array of trends within the construction of custom homes.

One of those trends is a move toward homes that are more energy efficient. Not only are many homeowners more concerned about the environment than ever, but by building energy efficient custom homes, it is also possible to benefit from lower utility costs.

Custom home building trends are also focusing on the ability to use every possible square inch of space. While spacious home offices were once a requirement for many homes, pocket offices are now a popular addition to many homes. Pocket offices are frequently located in areas of the home that receive the most traffic, such as the kitchen. Within these office areas, there is enough room for supply storage and a laptop without taking up critical space that could be used for other elements in the home. Fueling this trend is a move toward multi-generational living as well as a transition away from desktop computers.
