Choosing the right builder matters.\n\nI am a veteran and local Central Texas residential builder specializing in ground-up new home construction. We provide a straightforward, well-managed building experience focused on quality craftsmanship, honest communication, and attention to detail.\n\nWe manage projects from planning and budgeting through site work, foundation, framing, mechanical systems, finishes, final walkthrough, and completion. We keep our customers informed and involved throughout the process.\n\nWe are not focused on being the cheapest builder. We focus on building quality homes the right way and standing behind our workmanship with a minimum one-year warranty.\n\nWhether you have land and plans ready to build or are just getting started, we would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your vision, budget, timeline, and next steps.

"Lucio and his crew are amazing. I hired him for roofing, siding, window installation, rock footing/underpinning, new concrete driveway and sidewalks, among other home remodeling. His crews were some of the hardest workers. Always professional, excellent workmanship, and worked with urgency to help me complete my house project timely. Pricing was fair and Lucio was always available for getting to add on services! I will definitely use him as needed in future!"

"I did a lot of research before hiring a builder, after all it's the biggest investment I personally will ever make. I was impressed by his education and his experience with very large projects in the Austin area. I also liked the fact that he had many contacts with subcontractors and knew a lot about new products. I had the pleasure of touring his personal home and the finishes are perfection. He certainly is NOT a what some people call a "tract" house builder. He wants to be sure your home is personal for you and your lifestyle. I am impressed with his attention to detail and the timely manner in which he gets back to you."

"I have had over 30 contractors at my home as it has been basically rebuilt.  This company has been the most professional i have dealt with.  Showed up on time, communicated progress, cleaned up at the end of each day COMPLETELY, came with all necessary tools and supplies.
Along the width of the house, all of the walls were removed from the floor to aprox 2 feet.  Lower portion of studs and base plates removed, walls sealed with amazing product, studs, base plate and walls replaced (not the sheetrock).  All lower level floors sealed.
We have had over 5" of rain in the last 24 hours.  This is the first time since i have owned this house that the floors have not flooded when we have saturated soil and heavy rain. 
Incredible product, excellent company.  i highly recommend both.

"They were great. They covered everything. They did windows and frames. It made the house look brand new. He came on time and inspected it. He made sure that I was happy. He did what he said he would. He did some extra little things. The service was amazing and I will only use them from now on. I was satisfied and they were cheaper than the others."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

How long it takes to build a custom home or rebuild a home after a disaster varies depending on many factors, but averages between seven and 14 months. Smaller homes or homes that don’t need a re-poured foundation may take less time to build than larger homes or homes without an existing foundation. Material availability, contractor schedules, and permit and inspection timelines can all affect how long your house takes to build.

It usually takes around four to six months to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.
