    Building Your Dream Home: Custom or Production?

    SEASON SIX PREMIERE: Finding the right home builder for your new home construction project starts with deciding if you want to build a custom, semi-custom, or production home. Since we exclusively build custom homes, we love the one-of-a-kind route but know that isn't the best choice for every one. So how do you decide? To start our sixth season off with a bang, we're breaking down the different approaches to new home building, as well as the pros and cons of each. Joining us to discuss the details of each approach is Mark Rasch from Benchmark Homes in St Louis, MO. Want more? Visit our podcast show notes for a guide to hiring a general contractor and more.
