Building a custom home in San Antonio and the surrounding areas means dealing with a patchwork of building codes and requirements. Each county – from Kendall and Comal to Guadalupe and Llano – operates with its own set of regulations. My decades of experience across these jurisdictions give me unique insights into these differences, so you don’t have to worry about navigating them yourself.

From city-specific building codes to varied permitting processes, understanding each area’s landscape can be daunting. Take, for example, the differences between municipal utilities in San Antonio and the reliance on septic systems in more rural areas like Llano. Meanwhile, HOA requirements can differ widely between developments, adding another layer of complexity.

Fortunately, my longstanding relationships with local building officials mean I can anticipate challenges and ensure that each project complies with regional requirements without surprises. This local expertise helps prevent costly delays and provides you the peace of mind that your project is in capable hands.
