Building Your Forever Home

There is almost nothing more satisfying than a blank slate – a chance to create a space that’s all about you. In the housing market there are two options for new homes: Spec homes and custom homes. Finding the right home can be a challenge, but understanding the differences between the two will have you well on your way to a life of comfort and ease.

Speculation homes are houses that a built on lots without a specific buyer in mind. The intention behind these types of homes are that an interested party will come forward to purchase the house upon completion. It’s fast, it’s convenient, however, these homes tend to be more generic as they appeal to a wide range of people.

Custom homes are perfect for buyers who want to build their dream house, complete with a floorplan that fits their needs and all the amenities they desire. Custom homes are typically built on land already owned by the buyer and are often times considered an investment in their future due to their unique appearance and higher quality control.

No two families are alike, so why should your home look like everyone else’s? 

That’s where True North comes in.

Your home should be your True North, your fixed point in a spinning world. It should speak to you and your lifestyle. With custom-built homes you get a superior quality and one-of-a-kind home built with you in mind. We bring your ideas to life by working with you every step of the way from preconstruction through completion. 

From the layout and accessibility of your home to the aesthetics of choosing the colors, and high-quality materials and fixtures that you love, we can help you facilitate your lifestyle and values. If you want to entertain friends, spend time with family or you’re prioritizing relaxation and comfort, your home will be 100 percent unique to your every need. 

We understand that family is your number one priority. We don’t want to make you a house, we want to build you your forever home.

Happy home building!
