Learn the Difference Ep. 54 | Any contractor can build a luxury home
Discover Learn the Difference Episode 54, where Adrienne breaks down one of the biggest misconceptions in the custom home world — the myth that “any contractor can build a luxury home.” Frazier Homes reveals why true luxury building requires a completely different level of precision, planning, craftsmanship, and process.

If you’re exploring the custom home process or comparing builders, this episode uncovers what really goes into creating a high-end home — and why the builder you choose matters.

Learn the Difference Ep. 53 | Most 'Custom Homes' Aren't Custom
Episode 53 of Learn the Difference dives into a truth many homeowners don’t realize: most “custom homes” aren’t actually custom.

These homes include architectural features that make shared living seamless:
Private, independent living suites
Multiple kitchens or kitchenettes
Zero-entry showers and accessibility-focused layouts
Wider hallways and elevators
Flexible rooms that evolve with your needs
Secondary entrances for added independence
Garage apartments or detached living quarters connected by breezeways

✅ Aging in place — allowing parents or grandparents to stay safely connected
✅ Childcare and family support — keeping loved ones close while easing busy lifestyles
✅ Affordability and stability — shared household costs during rising housing and care expenses
✅ Stronger family bonds — with spaces designed for privacy and togetherness
Designed for Your Family’s Future
Every Frazier Home is a one-of-a-kind custom build. Our design-build process allows us to tailor spaces that support both independence and connection through:
• Guest suites
