Planning your dream home? Know the roles of an architect and a builder, and Pecan Valley Custom Homes is ready to help.

An architect designs your home focusing on aesthetics, functionality, and your unique style -- with a set of approved building plans as their deliverable. A custom home builder is the craftsman, turning those plans into reality with skilled personnel and quality materials. Both collaborate to ensure your project aligns with your vision and budget, creating a home you'll love for years! Ready to start? #PVCHomes #DreamHome #Architecture

When planning your home, be sure to hire an experienced custom home builder that works with exceptional architects.

A good architect will work with an experienced home builder to ensure what is designed can be created in a manner that is stunning and will not break your budget. Ultimately, you'll spend the majority of time with the home builder who manages construction, coordinates with you, and executes the plan with precision. We work wonderfully with architects and communicate beautifully with owners! Call us today to discuss your dream home. #PVCHomes #Architect #BuildYourDream

Which to select first: the architect or the builder? We're here for you at every step of your custom home build!

It's often easier to first meet with a custom home builder as you can see their portfolio of homes and talk with the homeowners. A good custom home builder can then introduce you to trusted architects who can help develop your vision. If you're ready to build, we can help you through the entire process, including finding the perfect architect for you! #PVCHomes #HomePlanning #Architect https://pvchomes.com

Dreaming of the perfect home? Start with the right home lot, and we've seen and built on them all.

Consider location, size, and terrain to ensure your dream home fits your lifestyle. Proximity to schools, shops, and work is key.

Home lot selection involves many factors including sunlight, views, topology, and price - and we're home building experts.

A south-facing lot maximizes natural light and is ideal for solar, while a wooded lot offers seclusion. Be sure to look at topology to understand potential flooding risks. Some lots are just worth more than others, and we can help you find the perfect location. #PVCHomes #LotSelection #BuildYourDream

Size does matter when picking the perfect home lot, and Pecan Valley Custom Homes can help you find the right property for your dream home.

Ensure there's enough space for your home, yard and particular needs. Check zoning rules to avoid surprises. And ensure the land can physically support your vision. Start planning your dream home today with Pecan Valley Custom Homes. #PVCHomes #HomePlanning #DreamLot https://pvchomes.com

Newly completed home overlooking Lake Travis: A great custom home builder starts by asking about your vision and needs—which is where we begin. #PVCHomes

We always ask about your use of space (how many family members, do you work from home, entertain, cook elaborate meals, or live outdoors?) We inquire about your design preferences (modern, rustic, or minimalist style) and preferred features like open-plan living or a covered patio. Then we'll help you identify non-negotiables (e.g., a large garage) versus nice-to-haves (e.g., a pool) to shape the design. https://pvchomes.com

An experienced custom home builder visits your lot to ensure it aligns with your expectations—and we've seen every lot type imaginable. #PVCHomes

We evaluate the size, slope, orientation, and views to determine how they impact design and buildability. We'll flag potential soil, zoning or other issues suggesting solutions to keep your dream on track. And we'll provide ballpark costs plus advice on where to save or splurge. Visit https://pvchomes.com or call 512-844-2152.

A great homebuilder clearly outlines the steps, timeline, and design iterations necessary to work to bring your home to life. #PVCHomes

We identify key milestones, like when concepts might be ready or when construction could start, when key decisions are needed to guide architects and others, and we explain how updates are provided—via meetings, emails, website—so you're always in the loop. https://pvchomes.com

Every custom home that lasts the test of time needs a quality foundation.

Every home starts with the clearing of the lot, forming up the foundation, and then pouring it. Are you ready to build your dream home? Contact us to get started!
