Let’s walk your lot.

Whether you own the land or are still deciding between two, the best time to talk to us is before the plans are drawn. Tell us where you want to build and what you have in mind.

Casa Tre Cortili · Austin Hill Country
Start here

We will gladly walk your lot, or the one you are looking at.

A lot tells us most of what a plan will cost before a line is drawn: where the views are, how the land drains, what the rock will ask of the foundation, and where the house wants to sit. We would rather tell you that on the ground than after you have fallen for a floor plan.

Our homes begin at $1.5 million and range past $30 million, each one built on your land. Send us the address and a little about what you are hoping to build.

“We’re a design-build firm, so we’ll help guide you from initial lot evaluations all the way to move-in.”Tony Holt, Owner
Tell us about the home

A few details, and we will take it from there.

Four required fields. The rest helps us bring the right person and the right questions to the first conversation.

    To better assist you, please provide the exact street address of the property (or the subdivision name and lot number if a street address has not yet been assigned), along with the county and approximate lot size.

    We prioritize inquiries that include a specific, verifiable property address so we can review the project details accurately. We ask for this information because we have seen a significant increase in fraudulent and incomplete inquiries and want to ensure we can give genuine projects our full attention.

    We use what you send us only to reach you about your project. No lists, no newsletters you did not ask for.

    What happens next

    Three conversations before a contract.

    1

    We talk.

    By phone or at either office. What you want to build, where, and roughly when. If we are not the right builder for it, we will say so.

    2

    We walk the land.

    Your lot, or the one you are considering. Views, grade, drainage, rock, utilities, and where the home should sit. This is the conversation that saves the most money.

    3

    We put a fixed price on it.

    Fixed price, not cost plus. The number we agree on is the number you build at.

    Before you write

    Questions we hear first.

    Do I need to own land before I contact you?

    No. Many of our clients call while they are still choosing between lots, and that is the most useful time to involve us. We will walk the lot you are considering and tell you what it will ask of the house before you buy it.

    I already have an architect. Does that work?

    Yes. Clients often come to us with their own architect, and we work side by side with them. If you do not have one yet, we will help you choose one who fits the home and the site.

    Where do you build?

    Austin and the west side of town, Lake Travis, Lake LBJ and Horseshoe Bay, and across the Texas Hill Country, including private ranch land. Our two offices are in Lakeway and Horseshoe Bay.

    Do you remodel?

    No. We build new custom homes, including teardown-and-rebuild on a lot you already own.

    How is your pricing structured?

    Fixed price, not cost plus. Our homes begin at $1.5 million and range past $30 million. Once we have walked the lot and seen the plan, we give you a firm number, and that is the number you build at.
