It has always been The American Dream to own your own home but the details of that dream have begun to differ over time. It used to be that people were simply interested in home ownership for the sake of owning a home. As additional generations have come to view owning their own home as a reality, they have upped the ante and redefined this American Dream. New homeowners today want to own a home that is designed to meet the specific needs of their lifestyle and aesthetic preferences. This is a main factor underlying the trend to work with custom home builders in Florida and around the nation.
We frequently see custom home builders in Florida and other places where there are large retirement communities for several reasons. The first is that the people who are interested in having a custom home built for them are typically people who have lived for enough years to have developed a strong sense of what they want in a home. The second is that it is only later in life that most people feel ready to settle down into the home that they want to live out the rest of their years in. And finally, it is this group of people that are most ready to move on from the basic American Dream of owning a home to the more advanced dream of living in a home designed uniquely for them.
Custom home builders in Florida are of specific interest to the retirement population for these reasons. However, they may also be of interest to those middle-aged and younger residents with parents who live in Florida. These are people who may be inclined to settle down in Florida in order to stay in the area where their parents are residing. In order to make their homes more personal, these people look into having custom home builders in Florida create a home design that will enhance their quality of life in this area. To these people, the American dream is about “having it all”; they want to live near their parents but also to have a lifestyle all their own.
The American Dream has always been something that was achievable to anyone who was willing to work hard enough to get it. That remains true of the new American Dream. However, there is more flexibility in the modern version of home ownership. In the past, the goal was simply to earn enough money to be able to afford a home mortgage. Today, the goal is more likely to be finding a way to create a holistic lifestyle that allows your home to be an extension of who you are. People who work with custom home builders in Florida may be interested in designing a home office or a studio in the home which will allow them to achieve dreams that are based on more than just earning money.
One of the best things about working with custom home builders in Florida (and in other places for that matter) is that the process allows the homeowner some creative input into the home. This reflects the basic change in the American Dream over time which is that people today want to own a home which they can be thrilled to live in because it completely expresses who they are. Additionally, working with a custom home builder allows the home owner to leave room for change in the future. This creates the potential for the individual’s own dreams to change over time. That openness to change is precisely what today’s American Dream is all about.

Help answer the question about custom homes
Has anyone had problems with custom windows in their homes?A teacher of mine mentioned her solar home had a recurring problem with one of her custom shaped windows (i can't remember if it was popping out of it's frame or if it kept cracking). She had to have it replaced at least twice, which can get pretty expensive.
Has anyone else had similar problems with custom shaped windows in their new homes?

Are you a certified contractor?? as well as Carpenter?? Are you talking physically building? or Selling ?
Check with your local building commissioner! As to what Qualifing factors you need to build homes as they very from State to State!!
Call the dealer who sells them and ask for names of people he has sold them to. You may not find a Buckeye owner. That's a model. You would get opinion on quality, maintenance, warranties, etc. from any Palm Harbor owner.

Good luck with your search for information.
Depends on where you live. In Califiornia it would be $200-250 a square foot.

You definitely want to make sure that the contractor is licensed and bonded. This will save you in case he decides to dip before the jobs done. Experience is always a plus. I would try to contact some of his customers and see how satisfied they were.
Cost and time are always important. If getting paid by the hour, I know a lot of guys that will try to drag a project out so that they continue to have work.
I would also do some investigating on the subcontractors that the builder uses (for example the people that do the concrete, electrical, plumbing…)
The rest of the things I would be concerned about really come during the building stages. Just watching them to make sure that they dont cut corners and use really cheap materials. It helps to know a little about construction industry otherwise you really would know what to look for if they were giving you the short stick.
Make sure that you fully read the contract and understand it before signing it.
A friend of mine bought one of their homes in TX. He was happy with them and didn't have any quality or construction issues.
i doubt it is the real deal
There are a number of people who build in equestrian communities. For the most part, custom home builders are small companies that only do a few homes each year. A few larger builders have done tracts oriented toward horse people, but those are few and far between, and are the same people who build golf communities, lake communities, etc. As a recent graduate, your best course is to try to get into a homebuilding company to learn the business, then branch out into specialized construction.
Really can't make the question that simple
Sorry
Very complex
You could try local art galleries, schools with art departments, or even ceramic studios.
Don Davis built custom homes in the 1950s? That's 58 years ago.
Just how long do you think this guy planned to work?
Assuming he was in his 30's in the 1950's (because he was established, man), he'd be pushing 90 now.
Better check the local cemeteries.
we don'y get cnnn here
We can do about 1,200 annually
For the most part, it is considerably lower than a conventionally built home. There is a reason their price is attractive, and it ain't magic. Check everything out before making a decision.
This site http://homebuying.about.com/cs/modulareducation/a/modularhomes.htm explains the difference between modular homes, mobile (manufactured) homes and site built homes.
Modular homes are a little less expensive because suppliers deliver all of the materials to one site (factory). There are no costly building delays due to weather. And they are built to the same standards as site built homes. I think they look more like a site built home than a manufactured home.
