## Why a local team for custom home building in Willis

Willis is our home base. Our office on St. Ann Ct puts us minutes from every Willis job site, from wooded acreage off FM 1097 and FM 830 to homes along the east side of Lake Conroe. Local clients get fast site visits, quick responses and a builder who lives the same conditions you do.

A custom home should fit the way you live, not a floor plan someone drew for a subdivision. We start with how your family uses space — where you cook, gather, work and unwind — and translate that into a home with proportion, natural light and craftsmanship you can feel.

## What is included

- Lot evaluation: soils, flood zone, utilities, septic feasibility and deed restrictions
- Design development with your architect or from your concept
- Geotechnical report and engineer-designed foundation
- Permitting, HOA and architectural review submittals
- Full construction management with scheduled site walkthroughs
- Finish selections guidance and final punch-list walkthrough

## Timeline

Typically 10–16 months of construction after plans are approved, plus 2–4 months for design and permitting.

## What affects projects in Willis

### Acreage and septic

Many Willis properties sit outside city sewer service. On-site sewage facility (septic) design and permitting through Montgomery County is planned before the house footprint is finalized.

### Tree preservation

Mature pines and hardwoods are a big part of Willis’ appeal. We plan clearing, drainage and foundation placement to protect the trees you want to keep.

### Engineered foundations for expansive clay

Much of the greater Houston region sits on clay soils that swell when wet and shrink in drought. Every build starts with a soil report and an engineer-designed post-tensioned slab or pier-and-beam system matched to your lot.

### Drainage and flood elevation planned first

We review FEMA flood maps, local floodplain rules and lot grading before design, so finished-floor elevation, drainage swales and gutters are engineered in — not patched after the first storm.
