Heidi’s take
Custom and semi-custom builds run on longer timelines and more decisions. Ask each builder for a written schedule and what happens to your price if the build runs long.

Checked November 10, 2026. I leave builder prices out on purpose, because they change often and rarely match what a finished home costs. Ask me and I’ll pull the real numbers for the specific home.
