Custom Homes in Richmond.
The decisions that determine whether a custom home is a pleasure or a problem are made before the slab is poured: orientation, ceiling heights, structural spans, and mechanical routing. We do that work with you rather than presenting a finished plan.

Richmond homes
Richmond runs the full range: historic and mid-century homes near downtown, 1980s–90s sections of Pecan Grove ready for full renovation, and 2010s-and-newer master-planned homes in Harvest Green, Aliana, and Long Meadow Farms where owners invest in kitchen upgrades, primary-bath rebuilds, and serious outdoor living. Acreage properties on the outskirts often call for additions, shops, and guest quarters.
Feasibility, then schematic design, then design development and documents, then a fixed-price build with weekly reporting.
Who reviews it
Inside city limits, permits run through the City of Richmond; most of the growth corridor is unincorporated Fort Bend County with MUDs and HOA architectural review in nearly every community.

Richmond 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 work in Harvest Green and Aliana?
Yes — kitchen and bath upgrades, outdoor kitchens, and covered structures are our most common projects in the newer Fort Bend communities, HOA submittal included.
Can you renovate a historic home near downtown Richmond?
Yes, with sensitivity to the historic-district guidelines. We modernize systems and layouts while preserving the exterior character the district protects.
