Site Selection

If you do not already own the land you want to build on, it's time

to start looking. We would be glad to assist you with locating

land. Often we own homesites in many of the area subdivisions,

giving our clients the pick of prime lots that we purchased when

the area was originally developed.

Lot size, tree location, slope of the land, and drainage of the

overall area are all issues to consider when looking at property.

If you find land somewhere, we will gladly take a look at it and

alert you to any possible issues that might affect the building

process.

Home Design

Once you've located the perfect piece of land, the next step is

to decide on a design for your dream home. Although this task

may seem overwhelming, we will assist you through the entire

process. We have many plans for you to look at. Plans can be

easily changed to meet your family's needs. A designer or

architect is able to listen to your ideas and put them together to

create the ideal floorplan. We have had tremendous success

with Weber Design Group plans but in the event that your dream requires more personal attention, Kathy Towns of Hot Tin Roof

Designs is amazing.

An estimate can be given following the floor plan decision and discussion of your optional features. No two homes are the

same and the details make all the difference.

Financing Your Dream

If you need financing for your new home, we recommend talking

to Jennifer Schultze at American Bank of Texas in Seguin. We

have worked closely with this institution and have an outstanding relationship with them. Of course you are always welcome to

pursue financing through an institution of your choice. We will

assist you in any way we can.

Construction

Now that you've obtained financing, construction starts. This is

when your dreams begin to take shape. We will work closely

with you throughout the construction process, answering any

questions you may have. We build every home as if it were our

own. Our homes are built to the highest standards, using only

high-quality materials and employing subcontractors with proven

track records. Attention to every detail is what sets us apart.
