CUSTOM HOME DESIGNS
If you're thinking about building a custom home, it's essential to first understand the different options available to you as a buyer when building a home.
Standard, Semi-custom or Spec Home?
Several building terms are getting tossed around, and you may have come across the three different approaches to home building, such as spec plans, standard plans, and custom or semi-custom homes. And there are ongoing discussions about the main build differences and which one to consider for building your new home.
The best path for your right now will depend on what level of involvement you want in designing/constructing your new home. Whether budget factors into it (standardised prices mean more affordable homes) and how much time there would be available before moving day arrives!
Spec Home
A home design that has been pre-selected for a specific block, with little or no customisation or input on the buyer's part. Spec homes can be purchased as a House and Land Package or purchased as a finished product ready to move into.

Standard Plan

A home design was selected from a catalogue of the builder's available options. Home designs that have been "tried and tested" are intended to be a durable, well-proven product. You may be permitted to make some limited personalisations, such as selecting fixtures, fittings, and colours. You will have very little, if any, input into the design process.
Custom or Semi-custom Home
An example of this custom home plan would be adding additional rooms to a standard plan, classified as either a custom or semi-custom home. It all depends on how much you want to get involved. The term "custom home" can also refer to a home that has been designed and built specifically for the owner.

What Is the Process for Designing a Custom Home?
Your builder will have a significant impact on the design of your home, whether it's a custom, semi-custom, or fully bespoke design. As a result, you will have to spend more money on consultation fees with draftspeople, building designers, and possibly even architects.
It's important to remember that the phrase "custom home design" is a complicated one that can mean different things to different people. This is why, for a variety of reasons, no one really starts from scratch anymore.
Attempting to reinvent the wheel will likely result in an inefficient home design, space wastage, as well as poor solar gain. Most architectural designers and custom home builders have a set of frameworks and patterns that they use to create designs tailored to your needs and the inputs you provide.
There are boutique architects and designers who will create a truly unique, fully customised home design for you. However, for the average Australian family, this isn't how things work.
The Winners Way - The Hilton Rise Designer Plan

Starting with a Hilton Rise Designer Plan entails selecting a home design and working with a new home consultant to customise it to your specific requirements (such as block size, location, and shape) and preferences.
Extensive Knowledge and Bold Skillset
Since you're starting with a solid foundation, we believe that a Hilton Rise Designer Plan is the best option for most buyers. This is due to the high level of expertise required to deliver our home designs, which is as follows:

The result is that the home designs are created in extreme detail, with great attention being paid to all aspects, from your open plan entertaining area to the toilet roll holder in your ensuite.
Hundreds of hours of professional input have gone into the designs to maximise space, light, usability, and, most importantly, buildability.
Many of our home designs are updated every year to reflect the latest trends in both local and global building design.
