Looking for the latest trend in custom home design? Pre-designed home templates are quickly catching on as a trending concept in custom home design and building. What’s a home template you ask? Learn everything you need to know in our blog.
Design templates are essentially a marriage of custom and pre-fabricated homes which gives you the benefits of both.
The home builder enlists its architects to design a number of different homes based on home designs that are popular right now. All of the designs are varied and are created with the stylistic preferences of different homeowners in mind. The end result is a template that shows a home that is ready to be built.
Lifetime Series Homes offers 14 home templates that homebuyers can choose from. Each design is distinct and unique in an of itself, which makes it easy to find the design that’s right for you. Once you choose a design, we can make modifications to suit your needs.
Choice Made Easy
We found that there were a lot of homebuyers out there who wanted a custom home, but weren’t sure how to start on the design. So, we created these design templates that take care of a lot of the work for you and make it easier to visualize what your home will look like.
Faster Building
The design phase of custom home construction takes several months. We’ve essentially eliminated this phase altogether. It takes a lot less time to make a few alterations to a home template than it does to design a home from scratch. This allows us to cut down the build time and get you into your new home faster.

If you’re thinking about moving, one of the first things you’re going to consider is whether you should move into a pre-existing home, move into a new home, or build your own brand new home. Each has their pros and cons, but we feel that building a brand new home made just for you is the best choice out of the three. From the benefits of energy efficiency to a new warranty, building your own home has a number of advantages that you won’t find with any other option. Learn more about why you should build a new home in our blog.
Energy Efficiency
Home-building technology has come a long way, especially in recent years. Today’s new homes are more energy efficient than ever. Many consumers want energy efficiency to be a priority in their home, which is why builders are responding with green designs and features.
Energy-efficient homes have the huge advantage of being less expensive to operate than a pre-existing home. New appliances combined with energy-efficient design means the home can be heated and cooled using less energy, which saves you a lot of money in the long run. Space heating alone accounts for a whopping 42% of your home’s energy costs, according to Energy.gov. This means that the more efficient your home is, the more money you’ll save.
New Warranty
The warranty on a new home is another great benefit that comes with new construction. Many home builders offer great warranties because they stand behind their craftsmanship and their finished product. An extended warranty gives you the guarantee that if something goes wrong, the builder will be there to fix it.
Custom Design
With a pre-existing design, you have to take what you get. With a new home, you can really make the home your own and design it to your tastes. This way, you get to ensure that your wants and needs are met in the construction of your home.
Lifetime Series Homes is unique in that we offer 14 home design templates which are ready to build. The goal of our approach is to give you flexibility with design options while at the same time reducing the amount of time we’ll need to build your home. Because the designs of the homes are ready to go, we can cut a significant amount of time out of the planning stage. If you’d like to learn more, don’t hesitate to contact us today!
