Sweating the Small Stuff: A Guide For Your Custom Home Building Project
When building your new luxury custom home, there are seemingly endless decisions to make about design, appliances, finishes, and more. And in all of those details, it can be easy to leave out a few small details that make a huge impact in your home. Remember to share these things with your home builder to ensure that you get exactly what you're looking for from your custom home building experience.
Dimmer Switches
When designing your custom home building project, don’t forget to include dimmer switches in the key living areas where they would be most appropriate. This includes the dining room, media room, and possibly even your master bedroom. Dimmer switches can be added in after your project is complete, but it’s simpler and faster to have them installed while the home is being built.

Screen Doors
There is nothing better than swinging open the doors and windows to allow a cool breeze to wash in and air out your house. But one thing you don’t want is wide open doors that invite pests in and children and pets out. Remember to plan for screen doors when designing your new home.

Bathroom Access From Outside
Having access directly to a bathroom from the outside is key to minimizing messes, especially for families with children. Providing these easy access will keep people of all ages from tracking dirt throughout your house. And for families with a pool, direct access to a bathroom will help to prevent people from slipping when we feet hit the tile floor. Of course, an even bigger luxury would be to have a dedicated pool bath located outside your home.

Exterior Plugs At Various Heights
Most homes come with exterior plugs but they aren’t always located at the exact right height. As you design your luxury custom home, consider adding electrical outlets at various heights in anticipation of the many ways you will use your outdoor space. For instance, outlets up high under the soffit are perfect for plugging in your holiday lights. Plus, you may consider counter height outlets in case you want to set up an outdoor bar for your next pool party.

Security System
You’ve decided to make this big investment in a beautiful custom home that will house your family and be the backdrop to a lifetime of memories. Why not take the next step to keep it safe and secure? If you’re already planning on installing a security system, make sure you speak with your builder and have it put in as part of the project. That way your home is all set up for safety the moment you move in.

These are just a few of the small details that often go overlooked when you’re taking on a project as big as building a custom home for your family. For more information about partnering with Empire Home Builders to build the custom home of your dreams, contact us today.
