Building the Right Size Home:
A Guide from Craftsman Construction

When dreaming about your custom home, it’s natural to focus on square footage, room count, and grand designs. But at Craftsman Construction, we believe building the right size house is about more than just numbers—it’s about matching your lifestyle, your budget, and your long-term plans.

Why “right-sizing” matters

Building a house that’s too large can mean higher heating and cooling costs, more upkeep, and rooms that sit unused. On the other hand, a home that’s too small can feel cramped and limit your family’s comfort. Right-sizing ensures you create a space that truly fits how you live every day.

Questions to ask before you build

How do you use your space?

‍Consider how often you entertain, work from home, or host overnight guests.‍

What are your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves?

‍Identify the rooms and features that matter most.

Are you planning to grow your family—or downsize soon?

Think about your future needs, not just today’s.
