are you guys doing it for the custom layout/quality or can you actually save money this route?

For us, we are definitely looking to build a house when we can for both of those reasons. The difference between upgrading insulation, framing, extra wiring, higher quality materials, etc is all so nominal when building a house but the difference in living in a quality house really is noticeable. We live in a generic 1980s Coquitlam house (aka built crappy AF) and when I go to my dad's newly built ICF house, the difference in air quality, the lack of drafts near windows, the better planned lighting, the solid sound dampening... all great and makes a real difference in liveability.
