Custom Home vs Production Home: Which is Right for You?
If you’re planning to buy a new-build home, one of the first choices you'll make is whether to build a custom home or choose a production home in a new community. At Mikmada Homes, we understand that every family has different needs, so here's a breakdown to help you decide what’s right for you.

What Is a Custom Home?
A custom home is designed and built from scratch, usually on a piece of land you already own or have purchased separately. Every detail from the floor plan to the fixtures is chosen by you. This option offers full creative freedom, allowing you to build a home that reflects your exact tastes, needs, and lifestyle.
Pros:
Total control over layout and design
Unique finishes and features
Ideal for homeowners with specific visions

What Is a Production Home?
A production home is built as part of a planned community, like Royal Valley in Guelph, where the builder offers a selection of pre-designed floor plans and finishes. With Mikmada Homes, you still enjoy thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship without the stress of starting from scratch.
Pros:
Faster move-in times
More affordable pricing
Streamlined design process with expert guidance
Located in established, amenity-rich communities
Cons:
Limited customization
Which Option Is Right for You?
Here are a few things to consider:
Budget: Custom homes offer more flexibility, but that often comes with a higher price tag.
Timeline: Need to move in within a few months? A production home may be your best bet.
Involvement: Love interior design? You might enjoy the process of a custom home build. Prefer to keep things simple? Production homes make decision-making easy.
