What type of foundation will work best?
Drainage
Where does water flow during rain?
Access
Can we get equipment to the build site?
Utilities
Where will power, water, and septic connect?
Views
What orientation maximizes your best views?

The Challenges We've Solved
Every lot has a story. Sometimes it's a $380,000 water line. Sometimes it's a slope everyone else walked away from. Here's how we solved them.
Water Meter Delays & Costs
The Problem
A client's lot required a water meter from Springs Hill water district. They quoted $25,000 and a 6-month wait for TxDOT approval (the meter required running under a highway).
Our Solution
We connected the client with a water well company. Within 2 weeks, they had a well drilled for half the price — and no monthly water bills.
The Result
Saved $12,500 upfront. No 6-month delay. No monthly water meter fees — forever.
$380,000 Water Line Upgrade
The Problem
A client's lot required a full water line upgrade for their entire street. Crystal Clear water district quoted $380,000.
Our Solution
The client had a large property and planned farming. We designed a 30,000-gallon rainwater collection system to supply the house.
The Result
Avoided a $380,000 cost. Sustainable water source from rainfall. No monthly water bills.
Difficult Topography
The Problem
Clients wanted to build on a Hill Country lot with steep slopes and rocky terrain. Two other builders walked away.
Our Solution
Custom foundation design (pier and beam / engineered slab depending on slope). Strategic home placement to minimize site work and maximize views.
The Result
Home that feels like it belongs on the land. Maximized Hill Country views. Worked with the terrain, not against it.
Water Solutions — We'll Find a Way
One of the biggest challenges with rural land is water. Here are your options — and we'll help you pick the right one.
Water Meter (Utility Connection)
Pros

Cons
- − Expensive upfront connection fees
- − Monthly bills
- − Sometimes long wait for approval
Best for: Lots close to existing water lines
Water Well
Pros

- + Reliable in most areas
- + Often cheaper than meter connection
Cons
- − Upfront drilling cost ($5,000–$15,000)
- − Requires good groundwater
Best for: Rural lots with good water table depth
Rainwater Collection
Pros
- + Sustainable
- + No monthly bills
- + Works anywhere
Cons
- − Requires proper tank size and filtration

Build-on-Your-Land FAQs
The questions land owners ask us most.
What water options are available when building on rural land?
Three main options: a water meter (utility connection) — reliable with no maintenance, but expensive upfront connection fees, monthly bills, and sometimes a long wait for approval; a water well — no monthly bills and often cheaper than a meter connection, best for rural lots with a good water table; or rainwater collection — sustainable, works anywhere, and best for large properties or off-grid builds.
How much does a water well cost?
Upfront drilling costs typically run $5,000–$15,000, and it requires good groundwater. After that there are no monthly water bills, and a well is often cheaper than a utility meter connection. It's the best fit for rural lots with a good water table depth.
How long does it take to build a custom home on my land?
8–12 months total from start to move-in: evaluation and planning (2–4 weeks), design and permitting (6–10 weeks), site preparation (2–4 weeks), construction (4–7 months), and completion (2–3 weeks). Timeline varies based on home size, complexity, and lot conditions.
What do I need to provide to build on my land?
Four things: the land (owned or under contract), road access to the build site, a power connection (or we help you get one), and a water source (or we help you find a solution).
What does TKG handle during a build-on-your-land project?
Custom home design (floor plan, elevations, everything), permitting and approvals, site evaluation and home placement, foundation design based on your lot's topography, septic or well coordination if needed, construction from start to finish, and problem-solving when challenges pop up.
Is the site evaluation really free?
Yes — 100% free with no obligation. We visit your property, walk the site (takes 1–2 hours), and within a week you receive our honest assessment of what works, what's challenging, and what it might cost. If it's not the right fit, you keep the assessment regardless.
