Questions about this type of project
What should I have ready before contacting a custom home builder?
Your lot (or target area), a rough budget, the size and room count you need and any inspiration photos. Plans can come later — we can help coordinate design.
Does Houston soil affect the foundation?
Yes. Expansive clay is common in the Houston area, so foundation design is based on an engineer's recommendation for your specific lot.
