Fully Custom vs Semi-Custom vs Move-In Ready: Which Option Is for You?

At Hanson Builders, we offer three options for those looking for a new home. Our Legacy series homes are fully custom, designed by you with the help of our experienced designers. Our semi-custom, Identity series homes give you the opportunity to add your personal touch to one of our state-of-the-art floorplans. Finally, we have many recently constructed, move-in ready homes available in our neighborhoods across the Twin Cities.

Each option guarantees a long-lasting home built with the quality and craftsmanship Hanson Builders is known for. But how do you know which option is right for you? Continue reading to explore what makes each plan unique and learn which one best serves your needs.

Legacy series—Fully Custom

Our most popular plan, the Legacy series gives you complete creative control over the design and construction of your new home. Our professional designers will help you create a brand-new floorplan and home design from the ground up. Whatever you need or dream of, we will work with you to bring it to life. A Legacy series home will be completed and ready for move-in within 200 days, guaranteed.

This option is best for those who have been dreaming of a home to perfectly match their family’s personality and lifestyle. If you require very specific features, or if you just want to be sure that your new home is the right fit for you, the Legacy series is for you. Designing a custom home is a fun, engaging experience that you’re sure to enjoy.

Identity series—Semi-custom

Our Identity series process begins with one of our professionally designed, industry tested floorplans. From there, we’ll listen to your feedback and specific needs and partner with you to make any necessary adjustments. We take pride in giving our Identity series clients more flexibility than any other builder in the industry. We know that every family is unique, and we’re not afraid to adjust our pre-designed plans to reflect that.

If you have a few specific details in mind for your new home but aren’t interested in designing a full plan from scratch, this option is ideal. You’re sure to find a floorplan in our diverse catalog that complements your ideas and dreams for a home. An Identity series home is also completed within 200 days, but costs less than a Legacy series home.

Move-In Ready

We offer newly constructed homes with a variety of floorplans in several carefully selected neighborhoods across the Twin Cities. If you’re interested in moving into a new home as soon as possible, this is your best option. Rest assured that each of our homes leads the industry in quality and is designed for luxury living. Whether you need to move soon to start a new job, or you’re too busy to design a home yourself, settling into a move-in ready Hanson home is quick and easy. This is also our most budget-friendly option.
