    2014 was a great year for the custom home industry. Recent data collected by the National Association of Home Builders indicates that 2014 saw a 20 percent growth in custom home construction. It is important to acknowledge that this is a small segment of the overall construction industry because it identifies just projects with homes constructed on an owner’s existing land with either the builder or owner serving in the role of general contractor.

    • There was an increase in both the number of units built and the overall share of custom homes in the new construction market.
