If you’re planning to build a home, you’ve probably heard the terms spec, semi-custom, and custom. The difference comes down to when you enter the process and how many decisions you get to make.

Redfin recently featured Doug Parr Homes in its article, “What Is a Semi-Custom Home? How It Differs From Custom and Spec Homes.” Rob McDonald, our division president, shared an important point for buyers: ask early which floor plan changes, structural options, and finishes are available. Those choices can vary by builder and by home.

At Doug Parr Homes, we know a home needs to fit the people who live in it. Starting with one of our floor plans gives you a place to begin, then our team can walk you through the available options for your homesite and plan. We’ll help you understand what’s included, what can be changed, and when decisions need to be made.

If you’re weighing your options, read Redfin’s guide to semi-custom homes. Then contact Doug Parr Homes to talk through what building a home that’s Built for Living could look like for you.
