Trek is the only road bicycle that offers what I require for features & to add accessories, it would be much easier to buy for than a custom carbon frame from what I have found.
For a Trek ask the dealer if they will honor their warranty if you do the build. I broke a 15 year old Madone last spring. Just took in the frameset with the receipt. That was important as Trek bought out the shop and even thought I registered with Trek when new I needed the receipt. Anyway I had a choice of a new Elmonda frameset with headset or credit. The frame was direct mount rim brake so I’d have to buy brakes and bottom bracket. I took the credit and paid the difference for a new Domane. I was happy. I have all the old parts and the fork with headset. Building up an old 1000 C for a rain bike and put a rack on it for trips to the store. If I can find a fort to fit 40mm tire may be good for bikepacking.
So go talk to the dealer.
