custom work
Made to order
Custom work is goods or services made to individual specifications rather than mass-produced or off-the-shelf.
A tailor doing custom work creates garments fitted to a particular client; a carpenter builds to a homeowner's design.
The term emphasizes personalization and often implies higher cost and longer lead times: They charge extra for custom work.
