Out of State? You Can Still Build With Texas Living Homes.
Living out of state doesn’t slow the process. Before we ever step onto your land, we’ve already aligned on your vision, finalized the details, and built a clear plan to deliver your home on time and exactly to your expectations.
-
1. Initial Inquiry
Start your Texas build journey from wherever you are. Fill out our online inquiry form and share details about your dream home, your land (or the type of land you’re looking for), and the features you want. The more information you provide, the easier it is for us to create a plan that fits your lifestyle, location, and budget, even if you’re states away.
-
2. Consultation
After reviewing your form, we’ll schedule a virtual consultation to discuss your vision, budget, and timeline.
If you already own land, we’ll evaluate it together using video, photos, and digital tools. If you don’t, we can guide you through what to look for in the Texas Hill Country. This step ensures we fully understand your needs before we begin. -
3. Design Phase
Our team partners with professional designers to create detailed plans and renderings of your custom home.
You can review all designs remotely, we walk you through every step on video calls and ensure the home matches your lifestyle, budget, and the unique terrain of your homesite. No travel required! -
4. Approval & Agreement
Once your design is finalized, we’ll review finishes, specifications, and your comprehensive budget together online. When everything is aligned, we sign your construction agreement digitally, locking in details and timelines. You’ll always know exactly what to expect before we break ground.
-
5. Permitting & Preparation
We handle all necessary permits and get your build site ready. This includes land clearing, utility setup, foundation preparation, and all pre-construction coordination, all managed locally by our team, so you don’t have to be here in person.
-
6. Construction
Once we start, we go! Our craftsmen and project managers oversee every phase of construction, ensuring quality, precision, and craftsmanship. Whether you’re in another state or across the country, your build stays on time and on budget because everything was planned during pre-game.
-
7. Consistent Updates & Communication
You will never wonder what’s happening with your build. We send weekly photo and video updates, plus scheduled calls to review progress and milestones.
When we know, you know, every step of the way. -
8. Final Walk-Through
When construction is complete, we’ll conduct your final walk-through.
Clients can choose to come in person or do a virtual walk-through if travel isn’t possible. We make sure every detail meets your expectations before move-in. -
9. Move-In Day
Welcome to Texas! Your new Hill Country home will be ready for you, delivered on time, on budget, and built with care. Whether you’re driving in, flying in, or relocating permanently, we’ll hand over the keys and make your arrival seamless.
Every Home Starts With the Land
At Texas Living Homes, every custom home starts with your land. Before we dive into design, our team meets you on-site to walk the property together and get a feel for its natural features.
We look at the views you love most, how the sun hits your lot, the direction of the wind, and even small details like the slope or tree lines. All of these elements help us decide the best placement for your home so it feels perfectly connected to its surroundings. It’s a thoughtful step that makes your home as beautiful and comfortable as it is uniquely yours.
