Custom home builder in Hidalgo County, Texas

We price every home the same way, one premium Fully Loaded standard, with the rate adjusted by service region. For 2026: Hidalgo and Starr County $115 to $120 per square foot, Cameron County $120 to $130, and Alice and the Coastal Bend $130 to $145.

Every tier includes the same finishes. Nothing is removed to reach a lower number; the difference reflects code requirements, crew travel and supply distance. Your final rate depends on your lot, plan complexity and any upgrades you choose. These rates currently apply to single story homes, ask us for a two story quote.

Every home is built to the Fully Loaded standard as the baseline, not as an upgrade. Your contract includes a custom kitchen in paint grade materials; a custom exterior in siding, board and batten or EIFS stucco with cedar accents; 9 ft walls throughout with a 10 to 14 ft ceiling allowance in the front areas; granite or quartz countertops through the kitchen, pantry and baths; 3×6 walk in showers; a custom front door with a $2,500 allowance; custom ceiling designs in the dining, living and primary bedroom; a custom entertainment or fireplace wall; custom closets and pantry; 6′8″ interior doors with a $100 per door allowance; and three interior and two exterior paint colours.

Also included on every contract regardless of region: open cell spray foam insulation throughout, a windows allocation of 1.5% of sale price, recessed lighting within your electrical allowance, all permits except windstorm where it applies by zone, ten dirt hauls of 14 yards each, and free custom blueprints with the purchase of your new home.

Quoted separately: land, septic tank, windstorm insurance, appliances, utility connections, dirt hauls beyond the ten included, awnings at $500 each, a concrete pump if your site needs one, and driveway area beyond your garage allowance. We review every line, included and excluded, before you sign.

Yes, in both incorporated cities and unincorporated county land across Hidalgo, Starr and Cameron Counties, plus Jim Wells County around Alice.

Rural sites bring their own line items: a water well where there is no city service, a permitted septic system outside sewer areas, longer electrical runs from the pole, and sometimes road improvements so equipment can reach the pad. Many rural parcels also qualify for USDA zero down financing, which can more than offset the site work.

Seven things, and we check all of them: soil type and bearing capacity, which determines foundation design; drainage, elevation and FEMA flood status; utility availability or the alternatives; zoning, deed restrictions and HOA rules; lot dimensions and required setbacks; equipment access from the road; and a current boundary survey, which is typically required before permits can be filed.

You do not need to gather any of it yourself. Send us the parcel address and we take it from there.

Five things shape every build here. Heat and humidity, which drive insulation, window specification, HVAC sizing and moisture resistant materials. Expansive clay soils, which require engineered post tension foundations. Wind exposure from Gulf weather systems, which sets structural requirements. Termite pretreatment, which is standard in our build process. And FEMA flood zones, which determine foundation elevation before design is finalized.

None of it is exotic. It is simply the difference between a builder who works here and one who brings a plan from somewhere else.
