Shell Home vs. Completed Home

What’s the Difference?

Image title

Typical Shell Home

A shell home is the basic skeleton of a house. It’s stuff like excavation, foundation, framing, siding, roofing, and more. On the inside, it's bare bones, so the rest is up to you to finish however and whenever you want.

Completed Home

A complete home is the whole package. You can think of it as turnkey construction. Inside and out it's fully finished and just waiting for you to move in and make it your own.


Advantages of Building a Shell Home

Time Savings

Initial construction of shell homes is quick. This means you can move in sooner and focus on finishing the interior at your own pace.

Learning Opportunity

Doing the finishing work yourself or working alongside professionals, you gain skills to use for any future projects or repairs.

Cost Control

You can prioritize where to use your budget and choose materials and finishes based on your preferences and finances.

Potential Increased Equity

Since you finish your own home, you have the power to increase its value. If you sell it someday, the interior work could attract higher resale prices.

Reduced Financial Strain

Since the interior finishing can be done gradually, you have the flexibility to spread out the expenses over time, making it more manageable and less overwhelming.

Personalization

You get to choose the materials, colors, fixtures, and finishes that reflect your style and preferences. This means you get to create a truly unique living space.
