General contractor in Austin, TX

East Austin sits on deep Blackland Prairie clay that expands when wet and contracts sharply during summer droughts, which puts stress on slabs if the pour is not engineered for those soil conditions. West Austin sits on thin soil over limestone bedrock, where the challenge shifts to shallow bearing and drainage off the rock. Each side of the city requires a different approach to foundation design and preparation.

Yes. We build home additions on narrow inner-loop lots in neighborhoods like Hyde Park, Travis Heights, and East Austin, where mature trees, tight setbacks, and existing rooflines all affect how the addition is framed and tied in. Our framing background, which goes back to our founder's early career training, allows us to work within these constraints without compromising the existing structure.

Yes. Many Austin homes from that era have outdated layouts, aging framing, and structural components that need updating before interior remodeling can proceed. We assess the existing structure first and address any framing or foundation concerns before moving to finish work. This applies to homes in South Austin, Rundberg, and similar neighborhoods with significant 1970s and 1980s housing stock.

Yes. We build custom homes on lots in outer Austin suburbs including Pflugerville, Manor, and Buda, where larger lot sizes allow ground-up residential construction. These areas sit on clay-heavy soils similar to East Austin, so foundation engineering is still a key part of every new build we take on in this corridor.
