Designed to Fit Your Life
Your independent Wausau Homes Builder works closely with you throughout a stress-free design process that lets you customize your dream house as little or as much as you want.
Create or Choose a Home Floor Plan
You can bring your own custom floor plans—or even a list of ideas or a photograph—and your independent Wausau Homes Builder will figure out how to build it. If you need a little more guidance, you can browse our eight fully customizable series. Each series has an assortment of floor plans within it in a wide variety of price ranges, square footage, and layouts. You’ll choose from an incredible assortment of features and options to personalize your custom dream house inside and out. And when we say personalize, we mean it—whether it’s wider hallways, higher ceilings, or features like a storehouse pantry or pocket desk, your independent Wausau Homes Builder can bring it to life.

Select Your Home's Exterior Style
Once you’ve finalized a floor plan, you’ll pick a style. From European and French Country to Coastal Cottage and Victorian, these curated motifs let you choose and fine-tune an exterior design. Wausau Homes offers 33 styles for custom dream homes in a range of designs—architectural details like trim, siding, porches, and windows that work together to reflect who you are and how your family lives.
You can select a style and use it as it is, or work with your your independent Wausau Homes Builder to customize your exterior even further. We use color guides and suggest complementary colors to shape how your house will look. Like each of the Wausau Homes custom home floor plans, these styles are just a starting point to help you in the planning process.
Featured Trend Spaces
Every family is unique, so your home should be, too. Whether you need more storage areas, space for entertaining, or room for the in-laws, our custom flex spaces let you design your home to fit your hobbies, interests, and lifestyle. Your independent Wausau Homes Builder will help you figure out where to add trend spaces to create a home that works for your family—from pocket desks, workshops and craft areas to owner’s entries, butler pantries and lake storage.
Choose Fixtures & Finishes
The last customization step is the fun part—picking things like stonework, faucets, and lighting. Your independent Wausau Homes Builder will work with you in their design studio so that you can see samples of cabinetry, trim, doors, faucets, and tile all in one location. Or, if you’d prefer, you can always go through the specialty retail store of your choice.
If you decide to build a Wausau Home, you will contract with an independent Wausau Homes Builder in your locale. Wausau Homes, Inc. will not be a party to that contract, but will supply the Wausau Homes factory-built components to your local builder to be incorporated into the home. Your local builder will hire the subcontractors and material suppliers to complete the home and work with you every step of the process. Wausau Homes does not guarantee the obligations of your local builder.
