Common questions for Custom Homes.

This answer varies a lot depending on the custom home being built and the type of property that it is being built on. If we know those 2 things, we can then talk with you about a budget range of the house so that it will help you decide on the property that you would like to purchase; or help you decide on the square footage that you would like to build on your existing property. To narrow down the budget, we will need at least a preliminary plan from an architect.

We will look at the property with you to discuss your initial vision. We will then pair you with an architect that best suits your build. (If you need a septic approval, you will need to work with the architect, surveyor and engineer to get your septic approved. This could take over a year in Williamson County). You will work with the architect to create preliminary plans and then we will create a preliminary estimate that we will go over with you in detail. The architect will complete the construction documents and then we will create the final estimate. We will review and sign the contract while starting the permit process.

We recommend scheduling a meeting with us first before you purchase a lot or land to build on. We can talk through your vision and offer you insights that can prove very beneficial to purchase the right lot or land. Once you have a lot or land that you want to buy, we can look at this property to see if there will be any issues with building your vision on it.

Our contract is very well written from a balanced perspective. We have done many jobs for lawyers, and they appreciate the professionalism of our contract. All of our line items are a solid price except for selections that have not been chosen yet. We provide an estimated budget based on your answers to our initial questions about those line items. You will then pay the exact amount we pay once the selections are made. If you want to work with one of our chosen designers, already have a designer or have selected all your finishes before signing the contract, all of the line items will be a solid price.
