Questions, answered
The things clients ask before they build with us — answered the way we answer them in the room.
What is the price per square foot to build?
Every home is priced from its own plans, finishes, and site — which is why we built a Build Cost tool that asks the right questions and calls you back with a real number the same business day. Start it below, or call and we will talk it through.
Where do you build?
Austin, Westlake, Rollingwood, Lake Travis, Lakeway, Dripping Springs, Spicewood, Horseshoe Bay / Lake LBJ, and Port Aransas (Cinnamon Shore and Palmilla Beach).
How do you do your contracts?
Fixed-price from finished drawings, with defined allowances. Nothing changes without your signature.
Can I use my own architect?
Yes — bring your architect and drawings and we price from them. And if you like a home we built, we can introduce you to the architect we worked with on it.
How do you keep clients informed of build progress?
Weekly written updates with progress photos. Budget and schedule live in MySeven.
Can you manage a build if I live out of town?
Yes. Weekly photo updates and one accountable team are standard.
Who manages the build?
A dedicated project manager runs your site day to day, working from the plans your architect and our team settled together. Behind them: weekly team meetings, weekly client updates, a selections coordinator, and quality-control walks by the founder, VP, and project managers. You always know who to call — and the VP, your PM, and the owners answer.
How long does a custom home take?
Construction generally runs 12 to 24 months depending on the complexity of the home. From first design through completion, plan on 18 to 30 months — we set the schedule early and keep it updated in real time.
How do you protect your clients?
Weekly photo updates, draws only against completed work, and every approval on the record in MySeven. All of our subcontractors are required to carry insurance, and change orders and allowance decisions are approved and signed by you before work proceeds — so surprises surface early, with a reason.
How do you handle privacy?
Project details stay private unless you approve otherwise.
What sets Seven apart?
We engineer out mistakes instead of repeating them. On the coast, that means products verified for coastal environments, third-party inspections, and building for strength and waterproofing first. In Central Texas, it includes independently testing our pools against concrete cancer (ASR). Everywhere, it is quality and timeliness — the same house, on the schedule we gave you.
What is your warranty?
One year workmanship and materials, two years systems, ten years structure — in writing.
Do you take on remodels?
We focus on new luxury custom homes.
