Partner with a Builder Early On
Before you start envisioning floor plans and browsing paint samples, your first step is to find a trusted builder. At Triple R Homes, we believe in partnering with our clients from the very beginning. We’ll sit down with you to discuss your vision, budget, and desired home style.
Our experienced team can offer invaluable guidance, helping you determine the feasibility of your ideas and navigate potential challenges. Establishing a strong relationship with your builder early on sets the stage for a successful and collaborative building experience. This step ensures that the land you purchase is suitable for your visions for your home.
Purchase Land and Finance
starting at: $2m - $3M
Once you have a builder on board, the search for the perfect piece of land begins. Explore San Antonio neighborhoods that align with your lifestyle and budget, considering factors like zoning regulations, utility access, and site conditions. Crucially, have your builder assess any potential lot before you purchase it. They can identify red flags like unsuitable terrain, poor drainage, or costly utility connections.
A “builder-flat” lot is essential for a smooth construction process. Your builder’s expertise will help you avoid costly mistakes and ensure your dream home can be built efficiently on the chosen land. Simultaneously, get pre-approved for a construction loan to understand your borrowing power and ensure you can comfortably afford both the land and building costs.
Design Your Forever Home
starting at: $2m - $3M
With your builder and land secured, it’s time to focus on the design of your dream home. At Triple R Homes, we believe in a collaborative approach. We’ll work closely with you to develop a plan that fits your vision, budget, and the specific characteristics of your lot.
Whether you prefer a modern aesthetic, a classic design, or a unique blend of styles, we’ll help you create a home that reflects your personal taste and complements your lifestyle. We’ll guide you through every step of the process, ensuring functionality, flow, and maximizing your lot’s potential.
Construction and Final Inspection
starting at: $2m - $3M
The construction phase is where your vision truly comes to life. At Triple R Custom Homes, we take pride in handling the entire process with meticulous attention to detail. We’ll keep you informed with consistent project updates and ensure a seamless experience, allowing you to be as hands-off as you prefer.
A final inspection guarantees everything meets your expectations and contract specifications before you obtain a Certificate of Occupancy. From groundbreaking to move-in day, we’re committed to exceeding your expectations and delivering a home that you’ll cherish for years to come.
