Common Questions

What homeowners ask first.

All Questions
How long does it take to build a custom home?
A custom home typically takes 8 to 16 months, depending on the project's complexity and size. Every client gets a project-specific timeline, and we keep it current as decisions and selections come together.
What are typical lot sizes for custom homes in Boerne?
Many residential lots in Boerne and the surrounding Kendall County area run 1 to 5 acres. Where you land in that range depends on whether you're inside city limits or out in an unincorporated subdivision. Master-planned communities like Cordillera Ranch sit on larger Hill Country tracts. Closer-in neighborhoods tend toward 1 to 2 acres. Before you commit to a lot, we'll walk it with you and assess what it actually takes to build there.
Can I make changes to my floor plan?
Of course! We want you to be happy with every detail of your new home, so we're happy to work with you to make any necessary changes.
How far is Boerne from San Antonio?
Boerne is about 30 minutes northwest of San Antonio on IH-10, one of the easiest Hill Country builds to reach if you still need regular access to the city. Outside peak commute hours the drive is predictable, and it's a straight shot with no real congestion past Leon Valley.
Can UrbanLUX review my Boerne lot before I buy it?
Yes. A free lot review is the first step for every Boerne project. We look at access, slope and rock, utilities, septic and well needs, and any HOA or deed restrictions, so you know what it takes to build before you commit to the land. Patrick is also a licensed Texas real estate broker and can help you find and compare lots.
Do I need to have a lot or land already?
Nope! Our founder is a licensed Real Estate Broker in the State of Texas and can help you find the perfect site for your new home, or make new plans that work with land you already own.
