A semi-custom home is a type of home that is built to the specifications of the buyer, but using pre-designed plans and materials. This allows the buyer to have more control over the layout and features of their home than with a production-built home, but at a lower cost than a fully custom-built home. Semi-custom homes are often built by production builders, and the buyer can choose from a variety of options such as flooring, cabinetry, and appliances.
