How We Build Your New Home
Our building process keeps you informed from the first plan review to move-in day, so you always know what comes next.
Step 1: Selecting Your House Plan
A building consultant walks you through our floor plans and asks the questions that matter: why you want a new home, the rooms and features you need, and what you can comfortably afford. If you are financing, this is when you line up your construction loan.
Step 2: Make It Your Own
With the right floor plan chosen, you meet with your building consultant to add the touches that make the home yours, from granite and brick to fireplaces, marble countertops, and hardwood floors.
Step 3: Signing the Building Agreement
Once the plan and the price fit what you want, you sign the building agreement and our construction team starts turning your plans into a home.
Step 4: Pre-Construction and Site Meetings
You meet your project manager at the home site and go through the costs of starting construction step by step. At a final meeting, you give our building team the okay to begin.
Step 5: Building Your Dream Home
From site preparation, foundation, and framing to mechanicals and the exterior and interior finishes, your project manager oversees every step of the build.
Step 6: Preclosing Orientation
Your builder and sales consultant formally introduce you to your brand-new home with a full walkthrough before you move in.
Build On Your Own Lot
Already own the perfect piece of land? You do not have to move into a subdivision to get a brand-new home. With our Build On Your Lot process, we evaluate your property, craft a plan that fits it, and manage every step from permits to construction. You bring the land, and we build the home.
Still shopping for land? Most lenders, including the ones we work with, allow land and home packages, so you do not need to own your land outright before you build.
New Construction Questions
What is included in the price of a new home?
The per-square-foot price G&R provides covers building the home and its attachments, such as paving, decks, patios, and garages. Additional building costs tied to your specific site are estimated and provided separately, and we help you plan for them.
What are additional building costs?
Additional building costs depend on your building site and typically include culvert and driveway installation, tree removal, soil testing, grading and pad construction, and well and septic systems. G&R helps you estimate and budget for these costs, typically through competitive bidding and cost allowances.
How long does it take to build a custom home?
On average, a custom home in Houston takes around 10 to 16 months from start to finish. Design changes, permitting, and unique features can shorten or lengthen that. Read our custom home construction timeline for a stage-by-stage breakdown.
Do you offer financing?
G&R is not a mortgage lender, but we have established relationships with banks and mortgage brokers and can help you arrange financing. You are always welcome to bring your own financing instead.
Can I start building while I still have a home to sell?
Yes. Our preferred lenders can help with the transition through bridge loans and construction loans, so you can start on your new home before your current one sells.
Will you evaluate my land before I commit?
Yes. A site evaluation is the best way to make sure the home you want fits properly on your land, and we provide lot and land evaluations at no cost or obligation.
