A spec path reduces decision load because the site, plan, and finish direction are mostly set. A semi-custom path allows selected changes inside a defined scope. A custom path carries more design control and more unresolved choices. OC uses this distinction to keep scope, approvals, and pricing conversations tied to the property rather than vague preference lists.
Custom / Semi-custom / Spec
Spec, semi-custom, and custom are different control paths
The real difference is where choices are fixed, where allowances are open, and how much site and design risk remains unresolved.
