Memorial homes
Memorial Bend and Wilchester are full of 1950s and 60s ranch homes with great bones, low ceilings, and compartmentalized plans — ideal candidates for opening up the public rooms, raising ceilings, and adding a proper primary suite. In Hunters Creek, Bunker Hill, and Piney Point, projects skew toward large-scale renovations and new custom construction on established lots.
Feasibility, then schematic design, then design development and documents, then a fixed-price build with weekly reporting.
Who reviews it
Each village — Hunters Creek, Bunker Hill, Piney Point, Hedwig — runs its own permitting with its own setback, drainage, and tree rules, and they are stricter than the City of Houston. We confirm the jurisdiction for your address and manage the submittal and inspections there.

Memorial questions
Do you build on a lot I already own?
Yes. We evaluate the lot's soil, drainage, setbacks, and utility access first so the design is grounded in what the site will actually support.
What is included in the price per square foot?
Our per-square-foot figures cover conditioned living space and the structure and finishes inside it. Land, site work, pools, and extensive landscaping are priced separately and shown as their own lines.
Do you permit in the Memorial Villages?
Yes. Each village has its own building department and drainage and tree requirements, and we handle the submittal, revisions, and inspections.
Can a 1960s ranch get vaulted ceilings?
Often yes. It depends on the roof framing and load paths, which we evaluate with a structural engineer during design.
