Fixed price or cost-plus? Fixed: the builder carries overruns, so bids carry a buffer. Cost-plus: open books, you carry overruns. With a cap, you get both. Match it to how finished your plans are. #customhome #homebuilding www.modernacrestudio.com
Two documents: a sealed contract with one price and a padlock, and an open ledger of costs plus a builder's fee. Bar of expected cost plus a buffer, with the fixed contract price line at the end of the buffer. Ledger of invoices for lumber, framing, windows, plumbing and electrical, plus a fee of 10 to 25 percent. Bars: fixed price $575,000, cost-plus as estimated $575,000, cost-plus with rising costs $632,500.

Ceiling height is a ratio, not a size. A 12-ft-wide bedroom feels right at 9 ft; a 26-ft-wide living room flattens at 9 and earns 11 or 12. Set each ceiling from the narrow side. #CustomHome www.modernacrestudio.com/articles/roo...
A tall double-height living room with a large black-framed window wall facing trees, a fireplace and a low cream sofa. A low wood-slat hallway with warm lighting opening into a bright, taller living space.

Inset or overlay cabinet doors? Inset sits flush in the frame with a 2 mm gap, needs a first-year hinge tune-up and runs about 15-30% more. Full overlay is the forgiving choice. Pick before the cabinet drawings. #customhome www.modernacrestudio.com
Line drawing of two base cabinets: inset doors inside the frame and overlay doors covering the box. Three cabinet elevations: inset, partial overlay with frame showing, and full overlay. Detail of a thin even gap around an inset door, and two drawers out of line by a quarter inch. Inset door with an even gap in dry winter air, and the same door swelling to rub in humid summer.

Where the stair goes decides the plan. A straight stair takes about 44 sq ft on each floor. Near the middle it feeds rooms directly; at the end it needs a long hall. Plan it from upstairs first. #customhome #floorplan www.modernacrestudio.com
Two stacked floor plans with a straight stair linking them, showing the stair strip on both levels. Stair section with 16 risers, 10 inch treads, 6 ft 8 in headroom line and 36 inch landings at each end. Plan of a stair strip 3 ft 6 in wide and 12 ft 6 in long, about 44 square feet on each floor. Two upstairs plans: stair at the end with a long hall, and a central stair with rooms off a short landing.

Roof pitch decides the attic. On a 32 ft wide house, 6/12 leaves a 4 ft strip with 7 ft headroom; 12/12 leaves an 18 ft room, with about 41% more roof. Decide before framing. #customhome #roofdesign www.modernacrestudio.com
Two gable sections on the same 32 ft house: a low 6/12 roof and a steep 12/12 roof with a room-sized space inside. Section of a 12/12 attic with a shaded habitable zone 18 ft wide at the 7 ft clear-height line. Overlaid 6/12, 8/12 and 12/12 roof sections showing the width with 7 ft headroom: 4, 11 and 18 ft. Bars comparing roof area for a 1,600 sq ft footprint: about 1,690 to 2,260 sq ft from 4/12 to 12/12.

Where should the pool go? Out of the house's winter shadow, out from under big trees, in view of the kitchen, fenced on four sides. A cover can cut heating costs 50-70%. #customhome #pooldesign www.modernacrestudio.com
Site plan line drawing: house with its shadow to the north, pool in sun to the south, sun and north arrow. Two site plans: pool south of the house in sun, and pool north of the house inside a 30 ft shadow. Plan of a pool with wind arrows, a skimmer at the downwind end and a tree kept back. Bar chart: pool heating cost index 100 with no cover, 30 to 50 with a cover used when idle.

Where should the laundry go? 70% of 2024 new homes put it on the first floor, 28% upstairs. Upstairs needs a drain pan, braided hoses and a closet between it and the bedrooms. An outside wall keeps the dryer duct short. #customhome www.modernacrestudio.com
Section through a two-storey house showing two candidate laundry spots: upstairs by the bedrooms and downstairs by the garage. Bar chart: laundry on the first floor in 70% of 2024 new homes, second floor 28%, basement 2%. Grid of 100 dots showing where buyers want the laundry: 60% first floor, 17% basement, 15% garage, 7% upstairs. Washer on a drain pan above a floor, with braided hoses, a shutoff valve and 650 gallons an hour from one failed hose.

Half-timbering is the Tudor detail most likely to look dated. Better: leave it out, keep it to one gable, or use a few slim dark vertical boards.

Modern Tudor house in cream limewashed brick and stucco with steep overlapping gables, a tall brick chimney, an arched wood front door, and slim dark vertical boards instead of half-timbering.

Spray foam or batts in the walls? Code asks R-13 in a hot climate. Batts get there cheapest if installed to Grade I, open-cell seals the bay, closed-cell reaches R-21 and blocks vapor. None of them seals the plates. #customhome #insulation www.modernacrestudio.com
Two framed wall bays side by side: one filled with fiberglass batts, labelled 01, one with spray foam, labelled 02. Bar chart of R-value in a 3.5-inch bay: batt R-13 to R-15, open-cell foam about R-13, closed-cell about R-21; code line at R-13. Stud bay with a batt showing a void at an outlet box, a rounded edge and a short batt, beside Grade I, II and III definitions. Wall section with foam-filled bay; arrows show air entering at the top and bottom plates, with caulk beads marked.

Work triangle or work zones? The triangle keeps sink, cooktop and fridge 4 to 9 ft apart, 26 ft total. It was drawn for one cook. Add zones for prep, cleanup and coffee, and 48 in aisles for two cooks. #kitchendesign #customhome www.modernacrestudio.com
Two kitchen plans: a small L-shaped kitchen with a work triangle, and a larger kitchen split into prep, cook, clean and coffee zones.
