A custom home is one that is especially designed to meet the specifications of the person who commissioned it. "Stock" building plans are not custom designed; the same plan may be sold to many different people.
Frequently a builder will customize stock plans by changing details. The builder may change the type of siding, move a doorway, or even add a dormer. However, the house is not truly a "custom home" unless a designer (usually an architect) has closely studied the land and interviewed the clients, to create a one-of-a-kind home that is tailor-made for the people who will live there.
Finding a custom homebuilder may be a lengthy task on its own but will have good consequences if done properly. Approach it as if you would any other contractor and ask for references and always compare custom homebuilders.

Almost rectangular in shape and mostly part of the Great Plains, Kansas is famous for its seemingly endless fields of ripe golden wheat. The land rises more than 3,000 ft (914 m) from the eastern alluvial prairies of Kansas to its western semiarid high plains, which stretch toward the foothills of the Rocky Mts. The rise is so gradual, however, that it is imperceptible, although the terrains of the east and the west are markedly different. The state is drained by the Kansas and Arkansas rivers, both of which generally run from west to east.
