Site Selection and Land Evaluation for Your San Antonio Dream Home

SHARE ON

When building a custom home, the property’s selection is as crucial as the home’s design. In my 40+ years working across San Antonio and surrounding counties like Kendall, Comal, Guadalupe, and Llano, I’ve seen firsthand how a well-chosen site profoundly influences the success of a project’s execution and final outcome.

Evaluating land for custom building in the San Antonio area involves several key considerations. Understanding the geology is vital—will you be building on solid rock or softer soil? This affects everything from foundation costs to landscaping possibilities. Utility access is another essential factor; ensuring your property can connect to water, electricity, and sewage services without incurring excessive costs is paramount.

Development feasibility also plays a large role. Regulations can vary widely between cities like Boerne and New Braunfels, requiring careful navigation. Different locations can greatly impact building costs due to varying accessibility, topography, and zoning laws.

My team and I guide clients through these complexities by matching their vision with the technical aspects of land assessment, always being mindful of the budget. With decades of experience working alongside local developers, I help clients avoid pitfalls that could otherwise lead to expensive mistakes.
