Spec vs. Custom Home

Your dream home.
Your home. Your ideas and dreams. Rex has goals that are simple: to build the home that you want, keep you in budget, and offer the best and newest ideas at every decision. It's a simple concept that takes devotion. Rex is passionate about building one-of-a-kind custom homes that reflect the owner's taste and style. If you are ready to step up and build your dream home, Rex is ready to sit down, listen to your ideas, and start the process of bringing your dream into a livable reality.

Spec home or dream home?
Rex builds many spec (speculative) homes each year to show new ideas. These homes are meant to serve as model homes. Purchasing a spec home allows for an easy and fast way to get into your new custom home now. Spec homes offer less of your time in selecting things and considering all the options. They reflect Rex's experience in what is best for a home at a given price point. Your dream home that is built especially for you offers you virtually an endless array of options and features. You can create something that is yours and no one else's and build in features that aren't found in spec homes. Building your dream home allows you to put the money where you see best. If brick is important, you could brick the entire home, or if you feel that your home should have an integrated audio/video system, you're the boss. Building your dream home puts you in the driver's seat to orchestrate something completely you!

Rex offers fixed price & cost plus contracts.
Rex offers two ways to implement the home building process: Fixed Price Contract and Cost Plus Contract. Both offer advantages. Fixed Price means that Rex signs a contract with you to build the home per a specific set of plans and specifications. If lumber goes up at the lumber yard, your cost stays fixed. So, the only time you would pay more than the stated contract amount is if you exceed allowances for selections or make changes. Cost Plus means you pay what Rex pays for everything plus a percentage of the cost of the home for his building fee which varies on the project. The best way to understand which is best for you is to discuss your ideas and concerns with Rex and explore all the issues together.
