“May your walls know joy; may every room hold laughter and every window open to great possibility.”

"Rose and fireflies dancing in the spiderwebs. Talking for hours and dozing off with the tv on. The record skips a few times and we pick a new song to fall asleep to. Morning coffee, a few minutes late to work"

"The magical hour between dawn and morning, the fog in the air and the dew on the grass. The slow hum of traffic and the cool breeze that signify the joy of a new day."

"Walking through the woods feeling that crisp air as magical light of dawn sets in. Flowers, trees, greenery surrounding us. Music playing softly in the distance and we choose to sleep just a little longer."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is your price per square foot?

The honest answer is that custom homes aren’t priced by the square foot alone. This is like asking a car dealership "what is your price per pound of the car" when purchasing a vehicle.

While square footage influences cost, the real drivers are things like land conditions, foundation requirements, design complexity, materials, and selections.

In the Texas Hill Country, fully custom homes typically range from $250–$400+ per square foot, depending on size of your home, finishes, site work, and architectural complexity.

At Jace & Bowen, we focus less on quoting a quick square-foot number and more on helping you understand what it actually takes to build your home well and avoid costly surprises later.

I want to build a custom home, but where do I start?

The best place to start is surprisingly simple:
Write down your non-negotiables.

Before contacting an architect or builder, it helps to clarify the few things that matter most to you in your future home.

For example:
  • What types of styles do you like and how much sq. footage do you need?
  • Do you need space for a home office?
  • Are you building on family land or purchasing property to build on?
  • Do you want a long-term “forever home” or something more flexible?

Once you understand your priorities, the next step is assembling the right team. Most custom homes begin by connecting with a builder, architect or designer, and (if financing is needed) a construction lender.

A good builder can help guide the process so you don’t have to navigate it alone and we would love to be the builder you choose! If you'd like to schedule a consultation, Click Here.

  • site progress.

Our goal is simple: you should never feel uninformed about your own home.

We also walk homeowners through key phases of construction so you understand what’s happening behind the walls of your house.
