07Questions

What Houston Homeowners Ask Us First.

Straight answers about design-build, cost and what we build. Ask anything below, or call 281.974.2561 and talk to a builder, not a call center.

What is a design-build firm, and why use one to build in Houston?

A design-build firm handles design and construction under one contract, so the architect, interior designer and builder work as a single team. For a Houston custom home, that means earlier cost certainty, fewer change orders and faster answers on floodplain, soil and permitting questions. Capital Builders has worked this way since 2006.

How much does it cost to build a luxury custom home in Houston?

Most luxury custom homes in Houston's close-in neighborhoods are planned at roughly $400 to $900 or more per square foot for construction, before land, depending on the neighborhood, structure, finishes and systems. Use the estimator above for a neighborhood-specific range, or call Capital Builders at 281.974.2561 for a project review.

Does Capital Builders build multifamily and commercial projects?

Yes. Capital develops and builds multifamily and build-to-rent communities, including The Queenston's 282 residences in Cy-Fair and LightHaven's 117 detached homes in Katy, as well as destination commercial interiors such as Macaron By Patisse and Gloss.

Who is the exclusive builder for Nina Magon Studio?

Capital Builders is the exclusive builder for Nina Magon Studio, the Houston-based interior design firm, executing its custom millwork, stone, metal and signature lighting so each design is built exactly as imagined.

Which Houston neighborhoods does Capital Builders build in?

Capital Builders builds across Greater Houston, including Piney Point Village, Bunker Hill Village, Hunters Creek Village, Hedwig Village, Memorial, River Oaks, Tanglewood, Spring Branch, West University Place, Bellaire, the Heights, Katy and Cy-Fair.
