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.

Nebraska is roughly rectangular, except in the northeast and the east where the border is formed by the irregular course of the Missouri River and in the southwest where the state of Colorado cuts out a squared corner. The land rises more or less gradually from 840 ft (256 m) in the east to 5,300 ft (1,615 m) in the west. The great but shallow Platte River, formed in W Nebraska by the junction of the North Platte and the South Platte, flows across the state from west to east to join the Missouri S of Omaha. The Platte and the Missouri, together with their tributaries, give Nebraska all-important water sources that are essential to farming in this agrarian state. Underground water sources are also widely used for irrigation. The river valleys have long provided routes westward, and today the transcontinental railroads and highways follow the valleys.
