Some Barden custom homeowners have an enhanced sense of ownership over their homes.
Why?
It's not because they custom designed it to fit their lifestyle, nor is it because there's not another home like it (though both play into it).
Their pride of ownership comes from the fact that they took a more involved path to realizing their dream home, taking on the general contractor (GC) role for their project. Fully embracing the idea of "build your custom home," there's very little they don't know about their home and the work that went into it.
But even for those with the best intentions, going the GC route route isn't always the best idea.
