Building Homes That Enrich Your Life.
Full-Service Custom Home Building
From lot assessment to the final walkthrough, our team manages it all with a process that’s clear, collaborative, and streamlined.
Have You Always Dreamed of Building a Home Designed Just for You?
Maybe you’ve toured dozens of houses, but nothing has felt quite right. The layout is off, the location isn’t ideal, or something important is always missing.
Or perhaps you already own a home that no longer fits your lifestyle, and you’re weighing whether to remodel or start fresh with a rebuild.
Or maybe you’ve purchased land and are ready to bring your dream home to life. Or you’re just starting from square one, looking for the right lot to build on.
And if you’re unsure where to begin, wondering if you need a builder, an architect, or a property first, you’re not alone.
Wherever you are in the journey, Mission Home Builders is here to guide you through your options and make the process clear, collaborative, and tailored to your vision.
Why Build a Custom Home?
Building a custom home is about more than choosing finishes. It’s about creating a space that truly reflects the way you want to live.
Maybe it’s an open-concept kitchen where friends and family can gather.
Maybe it’s a spa-like bathroom that helps you reset at the end of the day.
Or maybe it’s a backyard designed for dinners, celebrations, and weekends that feel like a vacation.
When you build custom, you’re not settling for “good enough.” You’re creating a home you’ll love pulling into at the end of the day, a space that supports your routines, your family, and the moments that matter most.
And beyond the lifestyle, building custom gives you:
✔️ The freedom to design a layout and style that fits your life.
✔️ The ability to choose quality materials that last for years.
✔️ A brand-new home with lower maintenance and modern efficiency.
✔️ A lasting investment with a home that holds value and truly reflects you.
With a custom home, every decision, every detail, every space tells your story and no one else’s.
How We Can Bring Your Dream Home to Life
At Mission Home Builders, we guide you through the entire journey of creating a custom home. Think of us as your partner, your advocate, and the team that makes sure every step comes together smoothly.
We start at the very beginning. If you already own a lot, we’ll help you evaluate the best way to use it. If you still need to find one, our in-house realty team has extensive experience in the Austin market, from navigating city regulations to spotting properties with the right potential and value. And if you already have a realtor, we’ll work alongside them to help identify the right lot for your home.
When it comes to design, you can work with our trusted architects and interior designers or bring your own. Either way, we’ll collaborate closely with them to keep everything aligned. Our role is to guide the process, coordinate the details, and manage the entire project so you don’t have to.
No matter your vision or your style, we’re confident we can help bring it to life. Our job is to make the process simple, guided, and enjoyable so you can focus on the excitement of creating your dream home.
Our Custom Home Building Process
Three Simple Phases. One Dream Home.
Phase 1: Plan & Prepare
Vision & Priorities
First, we understand your big picture and begin translating your ideas into a real plan. We’ll clarify your lifestyle needs, architectural preferences, space requirements, and long-term goals so we can design a home that reflects how you want to live.
Custom Planning
We don’t build from templates. Instead, we help you design a layout that supports the flow and function of your daily life. Want to prioritize a larger kitchen, a detached casita, a bigger garage, or an outdoor living space? We’ll guide you in aligning your investment with what matters most to you and your family.
Lot Acquisition & Financing
We can help you secure the right lot or move forward with one you already own. We’ll walk you through lot evaluation, contract details, and construction loan options so everything is lined up before architectural plans begin.
Phase 2: Design & Finalize
Architecture
You may bring your own architect, or choose one of our preferred partners. Together, we finalize floor plans and delivery schedules aligned with your budget and vision.
Interior Design
Work with an interior designer to bring your vision to life. You choose the finishes and features that reflect your style, while your designer simplifies the process and keeps everything on budget and on track.
Permitting
While design selections are underway, we begin managing the permitting process behind the scenes. This allows us to keep the build moving forward without unnecessary delays.
Final Review and Prep
Before we break ground, we’ll walk through your full plan together: design selections, budget, and construction timeline to ensure everything is aligned.
Phase 3: Build & Move In
Construction
Once the design, plans, and selections are finalized, it's time to bring your home to life.
Throughout the entire build, we guide you step by step and maintain close oversight to ensure progress stays on track and quality standards are met at every stage. You’ll have full transparency along the way with access to our project management software, photo updates, clear timelines, and direct communication with our team. Have a question? Just call, text, or email. We're here to make the experience smooth, efficient, and aligned with your vision.
Certificate of Occupancy
Once construction is complete, the city performs a final inspection and issues your Certificate of Occupancy. At this point, your home is officially approved for move-in.
Final Walkthrough
We walk through the home with you to review systems, identify any final touch-ups, and go over the operating instructions and warranty coverage.
Move-In
Congratulations, your home is ready. We’ll hand over the keys and stay available to answer questions and support a smooth transition into your new space.

Several factors determine the length of time to construct a home. Items such as finding a lot, designing the architecture, picking the home’s finishes, changing items mid-construction and weather delays are all activities that could affect the construction’s timeline. An average custom construction timeline is 11-14 months so plan using these numbers but know that it could be faster or longer depending on the circumstances.
