Will your home be built on top of a sloppy mud pile? Hard Rock? An old wood pile? All of the above? Where will you get better fill soil if you break ground and find a problem? Many have made mistakes with site prep and call us when it's too late. We can help guide you through these problems before they become a nightmare. We are "Geotechnical Experts" - (that just means we know a thing or two about building things with dirt)

How thick? How much steel? Fiber? What strength? Beams or Piers? We can help you through this maze of questions, and ensure your next building foundation is built to code, stamped, and ready for  the inspector. Have you or your builder priced concrete in our area? You may be in for a budget bust right off the bat. 

Things such as prevailing wind direction, August shade, January sunshine, off-grid ventilation techniques, fascia colors vs heat transfer, and R-Value,  are sometimes after thoughts that many homeowners in Central Texas wish they had thought of during their planning process. Call us to discuss how we can help with your home planning process.

Did you know you need a permit for most septic tank installations/re-vamps? We can help you through the process and provide the required stamped documents to the proper authorities. Anaerobic? Aerobic? Vaults? Perforated pipe? How many gallons? How many feet? How far from the well? What slope? Plastic or concrete? Soil type? Gray Water? Black Water? We can help sort through all these questions and more.

Many homes built in our area are built as weekend getaways, retirement homes and hunting cabins. Most of these owners don't have time to manage the project themselves from afar, and will benefit from our project management/inspection and over site services. We know and work well with many of the local builders. What will this cost me? How much time will this take? When can I move in? We have the expertise to put an estimated date on paper, that you and your contractor can agree on.

 Whether it's a few site visits for advice, a full-fledged schedule and task management plan, or something in between, we can help. 

So you have a great plan for a nice home back in the Hill Country..... Have you checked the price of rock delivered to your site? The local price is typically an eye opener to many of our incoming residents. Did all that expensive rock wash away in the first hard rain?Let's develop a plan to minimize imported material for your driveway, and make something that's long lasting and maintainable in the years to come. We have a few tricks up our sleeve.

Steel buildings are becoming increasingly popular home choices in our area, and for good reason. They are economical to construct, have endless possibilities in floor plans, and many enjoy doing some of the labor "DIY", at their own pace. The DIY mentality is honorable and rewarding, but many DIY'ers shy from architects, engineers, and other professionals who are experts in floor plans, superstructures, concrete, etc. Do you just need a simple scaled floor drawing and some recommendations on how to build the rafters? We can help as little or as much as you need. You might be surprised on our rates .
