FAQ About Production Home Construction Answered

At Eid-Co, we specialize in high-quality production homes. Some have dubbed such homes as cookie-cutter designs, but we know our homes have a heart and soul you’ll come to love. Still, if you’re considering a production home, you might have some questions about the process, customization options, and overall quality. As production builders, we offer a streamlined and cost-effective way to own a brand-new home, but understanding what to expect is key to making an informed decision. Below, we answer some of the most common questions about production home construction.

What Is a Production Home?

A production home is a house built by a large-scale builder like Eid-Co, who constructs multiple homes in a planned community using a set number of pre-designed floor plans and finishes. These homes are often found in subdivisions and follow an efficient building process that allows for faster completion and affordability compared to fully custom-built homes.

How Customizable Is a Production Home?

While production homes offer some level of customization, the truth is they are not as flexible as custom-built homes. Here’s what you can typically personalize:

  • ✔ Floor Plan Options – Some builders offer multiple layouts for each model.
  • ✔ Exterior Choices – You may have options for brick, siding colors, and roofing materials.
  • ✔ Interior Finishes – You can often choose flooring, countertops, cabinets, and paint colors from a pre-selected range.
  • ✔ Upgrades – We offer optional upgrades, such as higher-end appliances or extended patios.

🔹 What you can’t typically customize: Major structural changes (e.g., moving walls, adding rooms) or significant alterations to the exterior design.

How Long Does It Take to Build a Production Home?

The construction timeline for a production home is usually 4 to 7 months, depending on:

  • 📅 Permits & Approvals – Local regulations may affect start times.
  • 📅 Weather Conditions – Rain or extreme temperatures can cause minor delays.
  • 📅 Supply Chain & Labor – Material availability and workforce demand impact construction speed.

Since production homes follow a pre-set process, they tend to be built faster than custom homes, which can take a year or longer.

Are Production Homes High-Quality?

Yes! As reputable production builders, we follow strict building codes and quality standards.

🔎 Tips for Ensuring Quality:

  • ✔ Research our reputation and read reviews from past buyers.
  • ✔ Ask about warranty coverage on workmanship and materials.
  • ✔ Inspect the home at various stages of construction or hire a third-party inspector before closing.

Is a Production Home More Affordable Than a Custom Home?

✅ Yes, production homes are generally more budget-friendly than custom homes. Builders save money by purchasing materials in bulk, streamlining labor, and reusing floor plans.

💰 Cost Differences:

  • Production Home: Typically starts at a lower base price and offers pre-set features.
  • Custom Home: Costs significantly more due to one-of-a-kind designs, unique materials, and extra labor.

A production home is a great choice for homebuyers who want affordability and efficiency without the stress of managing a custom build.
