Why Local Expertise Matters

Hill Country Terrain & Foundations

Boerne sits on limestone and rocky terrain. We engineer foundations to handle this geology. Standard slab-on-grade doesn't always work here—we often use piers or footer systems for stability and longevity.

Septic & Groundwater Rules

Most Boerne lots don't have city sewer. Kendall County Health Department requires licensed sanitarian soil testing. The Cow Creek Groundwater Conservation District sets well spacing and pumping limits. We handle all filings so you don't have to.

HOA & Architectural Approvals

Gated and master-planned communities enforce Architectural Review Committee (ARC) standards. Cordillera Ranch, Esperanza, and others protect property values with strict guidelines. We coordinate submissions and revisions so approvals move quickly.

Energy Efficiency for Texas Heat

Boerne summers reach 100°F. Energy-efficient systems—high-SEER heat pumps, double-pane windows, proper insulation—reduce cooling costs and improve comfort year-round.

We build throughout Boerne and Kendall County, from downtown to the far reaches of Cordillera Ranch.

Featured Questions

What permits do I need to build in Boerne, TX?

You'll need a building permit from the City of Boerne or Kendall County (depending on your lot location), a septic permit from the County Health Department, a well-drilling permit if needed from Cow Creek GCD, and ARC approval if in a gated community. We coordinate all filings through the online portal.

Can I build on acreage in Boerne without city sewer?

Yes. Most Boerne lots (especially in Cordillera Ranch and Fair Oaks Ranch) use private septic systems and wells. We handle soil testing, system design, and permitting with the County.

What's unique about building in the Texas Hill Country versus typical suburbs?

Hill Country building involves limestone rock, higher water costs, strict groundwater conservation rules, and architectural preservation in historic areas. Lots are often larger, views are a design feature, and outdoor living (covered porches, patios, pools) is essential. Costs for site work and foundations run higher due to terrain.

Do I need HOA approval before I start building?

If your lot is in Cordillera Ranch, Esperanza, or another gated community, yes. ARC approval must happen before building begins. Downtown and unincorporated Kendall County lots typically have fewer restrictions but may still require county approval.
