Building a custom home vs. purchasing an existing one? What are the pros and cons of each option?

In this episode of the Craft of Custom, we share the 7 benefits of building custom and top reasons to choose the perks of a custom build.

We get into how building a custom home provides you with:

1. A home designed for your lifestyle: Your home should fit your lifestyle, not the other way around. From layout to finishes, every detail is tailored to your needs, routines, and future plans/vision. ⁠
2. Unmatched quality: With a custom build, you choose high-quality materials and we deliver the skilled craftsmanship.⁠
3. Personalized aesthetic: Every space reflects your taste, from architectural style to interior details, creating a home that feels uniquely yours. ⁠
4. No wasted space: Say goodbye to awkward layouts and unused rooms. A custom home maximizes function, comfort, and efficiency in every square foot. ⁠
5. Better investment and long-term savings: A well-built custom home holds value, requires fewer costly renovations, and is designed for how you live daily, saving you money in the long run. ⁠
6. Built where you want: Whether it’s a scenic countryside lot, a private wooded area, or a vibrant neighborhood, you choose the perfect location to call home. ⁠
7. Stress-free move-in: No remodeling, no surprises, no compromises, just a home built right from the start, exactly how you envisioned. ⁠

About Host, Paul LaRoche, Owner & Founder of LR3 Development, LLC

Architecture and design are in Paul’s DNA.

When Paul was a young man, he had the opportunity to learn about the trades from firsthand experience and watch the process for himself. He learned about building, design, and construction. He developed an impeccable appreciation for style, decor, and quality. Inspired by his family, he attended Boston Architectural College, where his professional training began.

After working for other firms for years, Paul wanted more autonomy in the building process to better provide the quality and innovative solutions he believed in.

After 20+ years in the construction industry, he opened LR3 in 2020 and never looked back!

A true industry leader, Paul’s created luxury markets where others have said it couldn’t be done. His work has won multiple awards, including the “Home of the Year” for the State of New Hampshire.
