Two-story limestone and stucco custom home by Makarios Design Build

Premium custom builder for the Austin and Hill Country area.

Your land, our floor plans, and a price you'll know before we break ground.

We built our process around the ways custom builds go wrong.

Budgets creep, schedules slip, and the homeowner ends up chasing answers. We built our process to stop each of those before it starts.

The budget

We start with the number.

Before anything is drawn, we talk through what you want to spend and what that budget can realistically build. The design follows from there.

The schedule

You can see where things stand.

Every project runs on a milestone timeline, so you always know where the build stands and what comes next.

The communication

One person to call.

You get one point of contact for the life of the project, so you are never passed from a sales office to a design center to a site crew.

Have a lot, or still looking for one? Either way, Demitri will call you back the same day.

Eight steps, from first budget to groundbreaking.

Our Design+Build Journey covers everything between your first conversation with us and the day we break ground. These are four of the milestones along the way.

  1. Budget guidance

    We start with what you want to spend and what it can build.

  2. Plan design

    We design the house with you, inside the budget we set together.

  3. Pre-construction meeting

    We walk through the schedule and every milestone before work starts.

  4. Groundbreaking

    We mark the start of your build on site, with you.

What it's like to build with us.

An absolute pleasure to work with. The team's passion for building is evident in their work. They are true partners in the design and build process. Highly recommended for any custom home project.

From the first walkthrough to the final punch list, Makarios was professional, responsive, and detail-oriented. They respected our home, our budget, and our time. We'd work with them again in a heartbeat.
