In the US, new single-family homes are typically built by a real estate developer according to a common design. The first buyers are usually allowed some limited input on the design (choice of colors and decorative materials, size of garage, perhaps an optional additional bedroom or bathroom) but the core architectural design is chosen by the developer and cannot be changed.

You could always get a builder to do a custom home, but most developers start their projects before the houses are sold, and most buyers are afraid to buy a house that hasn’t been started at all (unless asking for a custom job).
