Often, yes, but the process runs through additional review beyond the standard City of Houston building permit — that's true for portions of the neighborhood covered by designated historic districts. We confirm your lot's status early and build the required review into the design timeline rather than treating it as a late-stage obstacle.
Lot conditions, foundation design, and your finish selections drive the number far more than a generic per-square-foot figure could. We price your actual plans on your actual lot and hand you a free line-item budget you can adjust before construction starts.
It should, and in the Heights that's partly a design decision and partly a review requirement on historic-district blocks. We pay attention to scale, setback rhythm, and rooflines so the new home converses with the street, whether the architecture itself is traditional or modern.
Most builds run from several months to around a year after permits are in hand, with historic-district review — where it applies — adding time to the front end of the schedule rather than the construction itself. We build that into the timeline up front and report progress weekly.
