Land Search & Acquisition
Haven’t picked a lot yet? We’ll help you evaluate land options and connect you with trusted realtors who specialize in custom home sites. Already have land or a realtor? Great, we’ll work with you and them to confirm the property is a good fit for what you want to build.

We partner with skilled architects (or collaborate with yours) to design a home that fits your lifestyle, needs, and aesthetic. We help ensure the design aligns with your lot, budget, and long-term goals.

Engineering & Permitting
Once the plans are finalized, we coordinate all structural engineering and handle the permitting process with your local municipality. This includes city/county approvals, septic or utility connections, and site-specific requirements.
5
Planning & Pre-Construction
Before we break ground, we map out everything, from construction timelines and subcontractor coordination to materials sourcing and scheduling.
6
Site Prep & Land Development
We clear, grade, and prepare your lot for construction. This includes erosion control, utility trenching, driveway layout, and prepping for the foundation.

We pour the foundation, build the frame, and bring your home's shape to life with constant quality checks along the way. This is when your vision starts taking physical form.

Roofing, Windows & Exterior Shell
With the structure in place, we install roofing, windows, doors, and weatherproof the home. This "dries in" the building and protects everything inside.

Electrical, Plumbing & HVAC Rough-Ins
Our licensed professionals install the internal systems behind your walls, including electrical wiring, plumbing lines, HVAC ducts, and venting systems all to code and for long-term reliability.
10
Inspections & Approvals
At key milestones throughout construction, we coordinate inspections to ensure every phase meets safety and structural standards. Nothing moves forward without passing all necessary checks.
11
Insulation, Drywall & Interior Walls
Once the systems are approved, we insulate and close the walls with drywall, giving shape to rooms and creating a finished interior canvas.
12
Interior & Exterior Finishes
Here’s where the house becomes a home: we install cabinets, countertops, flooring, paint, tile, siding, and other finishes you’ve chosen.
13
Fixtures, Appliances & Final Systems
We install light fixtures, plumbing hardware, appliances, and test all systems. HVAC, electrical, and plumbing get final adjustments for optimal performance.
We complete exterior grading, add landscaping (if requested), and pour your driveway, walkways, and any outdoor features like patios or decks.

Final Walkthrough & Punch List
You walk the home with us. We go over every detail and address any final touch-ups or changes before you move in. Your satisfaction is the only finish line that matters.
Once everything is complete and approved, you get the keys, and a brand new, custom-built home that was made for you and your family.
We stand behind our work. If anything needs attention after you move in, we’re a call away. Our commitment doesn’t end when construction does.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a custom home from start to finish?
It typically takes 8–14 months depending on the size, complexity, and permitting requirements. That includes everything from design and approvals to final inspections. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we start
Can I bring my own architect or do I have to use yours?
We’re happy to collaborate with your architect, or we can connect you with trusted partners we’ve worked with for years. Either way, our goal is to ensure your design is buildable, efficient, and aligned with your vision.
Can you help with financing or construction loans?
Yes, we can walk you through financing options, connect you with trusted lenders, and help coordinate draw schedules and paperwork for construction loans.
Do I need to be on-site during the build?
Nope. We manage the project fully, but we do keep you in the loop with regular updates, photos, and walkthroughs. You’re always welcome to visit the site, but you can also follow along from anywhere.
Do I need to own land before we start the design process?
Not at all. We can help you find land, assess your options, and work with your realtor (or connect you with one) to make sure the lot fits your vision and budget.
How much does a custom home cost in the Austin area?
Custom home costs vary widely based on design, materials, and site conditions, but you can generally expect $200–$300+ per square foot. We’ll walk you through pricing in detail and help you get the most value for your budget.
What if I change my mind about something mid-project?
We know plans evolve, and we do our best to accommodate changes when possible. You’ll get clear communication about the impact on budget and timeline before any adjustments are made.
Is financing a custom home complicated?
Not at all, in fact, it’s very similar to financing a new home purchase. Construction loans and end loans are common, and many local lenders have programs specifically for custom builds. We’ll walk you through your options, connect you with experienced lenders, and help you get pre-approved so you can move forward with confidence.
