A Collaborative Home Design Process Built Around You
Building a custom home in the Rio Grande Valley is a journey, and the home design phase is where the magic begins.
Unlike other builders who may offer a limited set of plans, we start with a blank page and a conversation.
Led by second-generation builder Javier Gonzalez, our approach is centered on listening. We take the time to understand your needs, your daily routines, your passions, and your budget to ensure the final blueprint is a true reflection of you.

OUR SERVICES
Our Four-Step Custom Home Design Process
Personalized Design Consultation
We begin with a collaborative consultation where we review your ideas, inspiration photos, must-have features, and preferred layout or square footage.
Professional Architectural Plans
Once the concept is defined, our design team develops full construction-ready blueprints, including detailed floor plans, exterior elevations, structural planning, and foundation and framing specifications.
3D Renderings & Visualizations
To help you confidently visualize your future home, we provide realistic 3D renderings that showcase both exterior architecture and interior living spaces.
Site & Lot Evaluation
Because every piece of land is different, we conduct a thorough evaluation of your lot, assessing sunlight orientation, drainage and grading, setbacks, easements, access points, and existing utilities.
Interior Design & Home Selections
Once the layout is finalized, we guide you through the process of selecting finishes, including colors, flooring, tile, cabinets, countertops, fixtures, and hardware.
Engineering & Permits
To streamline your project, we handle all engineering and permitting requirements, including structural engineering, documentation, submittals, and compliance with city and county regulations.

Steps To Build Your Custom Home
Step #1
Get Pre - Qualified
The first step in your journey is understanding your budget. Getting pre-qualified with a lender provides a clear financial foundation, giving you the confidence to move forward. We can connect you with trusted local lenders in South Texas who specialize in new construction financing.
Step #2
Homesite Selection
Whether you already own land or are searching for the perfect spot, we're here to help. Our team can evaluate a potential homesite for building suitability or guide you through our 'Build On Your Lot' program, ensuring your new home is perfectly placed in the Rio Grande Valley community of your choice.
Step #3
Design Your Home
This is where your vision truly takes shape. You’ll collaborate with our design team to create a one-of-a-kind floor plan that perfectly reflects your family’s lifestyle and needs. We'll refine every detail of your custom home design, from room flow to window placement, until it’s exactly right.
Step #4
Finalize Home Details
With the blueprint set, you'll work with our selections coordinator to choose the details that make a house a home. From cabinetry and countertops to flooring and fixtures, you'll select the high-quality materials and finishes that define your personal style.
Step #5
Loan Closing
Once all designs and selections are finalized and priced, you will proceed with your loan closing. This secures the financing for your project and officially gives us the green light to bring your new home to life.
Step #6
Construction Begins
The moment we break ground! Your home is now in the hands of our skilled craftsmen. Throughout the construction phase, you can expect regular updates and direct communication from our team, led by Javier Gonzalez, ensuring the highest standards of quality every step of the way.
