If you’re looking to build a luxury custom home, you need go no further than your phone – if it is based on an Android platform. Android phones are all the rave now despite the major competition in mobile phone application platforms, but Android have definitely gone one step ahead of the rest by providing an app that you can use for free, for luxury custom home builders to make their dreams come true.

The Custom Home Builders are launching this app before Christmas of 2010 on the Android apps market. On this market you get free and/or buy any kind of app. These include the common apps that most people like to have – Calorie Counter, a Golf Aid app, games and a whole set of others, but the fact that luxury custom home builders can now build custom homes from an application downloaded on their Android phone means that it becomes more than just a phone.

It’s a service that you would otherwise have to pay for, and it’s not a mean buck we’re talking here. Advice on building luxury custom homes comes expensive; you know that if you have built a custom home or even tried to build one. Luxury custom home builders have to deal with experts in the field for advice on planning and building, but once this has been packaged into something as small as a downloadable program on a phone, it becomes much cheaper.

You might wonder how reliable an app like this is, something that you download for free onto your phone. Let me explain a little about how apps work. Experts in their fields put together the best information package that they can and then customize it to suit different platforms and once the phone manufacturer tests them for soundness and market acceptability, they are then offered for sale. The Custom Home Builders for instance worked only with the best app builders in the market to get together a comprehensive Luxury Custom Home Builders app that will give you all the information, tips and tell you how to get your home up in the best way.

There is a way to arrest an app that isn’t working, simply because you sell based on reputation. Developers are paid by the sale. If an Android app developer puts an app out there which is not the best thing for The Custom Home Builders, it simply won’t sell, so that the developer won’t make any money on it. That’s why it’s in the interest of every app developer to make sure that they put the best product out there.

One luxury custom home builder that we talked to wishes that this had come much earlier. “I had my retirement package in my pocket and I knew what I wanted to do with it – build a custom home. At the time, there was really no choice other than to consult with expensive architects and other experts to get out even the basic blue print. It cost me thousands of dollars to get their services. If this app had been created at the time, I would definitely have directed that cash towards something else.”

We also talked to the creator of this Luxury Custom Home Builders app. “You’re getting the best really. It’s a product that’s so well researched that there is no way you can go wrong, and the best thing is that you pay nothing for it so that you can redirect all the money you would have used consulting experts to make your home even more luxurious. All you need once you have the luxury custom home builders app is an architect to get your home built. I’d say in today’s economy where every dime saved makes sense, it’s one of the best things that can happen to anyone who is planning to build a custom home”.
