Building in Pleasanton since 2020 · Atascosa County, south of San Antonio
A custom home builder plans and builds a one-off house on land you own or are buying. The floor plan, the size, the materials and the finishes are chosen for you and your lot, and the builder runs the job from the foundation to the final walkthrough.
Who it suits
People with a piece of land near Pleasanton, or a plan to buy one, who want a house that fits it: the view, the slope, the trees, the shop out back.
Who it doesn't
If you want to move in next month, a finished house on the market is quicker. A custom home takes planning before the first stake goes in.
Where the land is
Inside Pleasanton city limits or out in the county changes the permits.
The rough size
Bedrooms, bathrooms and about how many square feet.
Porch, garage, shop
Covered space and outbuildings are priced on their own.
A budget range
So the plan and the finishes can be matched to it.
When you'd like to start
Planning and septic design come before the slab.
Every custom home is priced on its own plan and its own land, so we don't publish a price list. Here's what building typically costs per square foot in 2026, so you can sanity-check a budget before you call.

Slab, frame, roof, then the inside, then a final walkthrough and the keys.
South of San Antonio, a lot of new homes go up on rural land. Whether yours is inside Pleasanton or out in the county decides who you deal with.
Outside city limits, a county building permit is optional for a single-family home
Out in the county, building permits are required for commercial buildings and larger multi-family projects. For a single-family home on unincorporated land, a county building permit is optional.
Every septic system needs a licensed design first
Every septic system in Atascosa County is designed by a licensed site evaluator, sanitarian or professional engineer and permitted by the county before it goes in. The lot also needs an approved 911 address, so that comes early in the plan.
Inside Pleasanton, permits run through the city's online portal
Inside city limits, building permits, plan review and inspections all run through the City of Pleasanton's online permit portal, with inspections on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
We've built custom homes from 4733 E State Highway 97 in Pleasanton since 2020. A builder down the road from your lot is easy to reach, easy to meet on site, and already knows how the paperwork changes inside and outside city limits.

What does a custom home builder do?
A custom home builder plans and builds a one-off house on your land, to your floor plan, instead of selling you a set plan in a subdivision. You choose the layout, the size and the finishes, and the builder runs the job from the slab to the keys.
What is the cost per square foot for a custom home in the San Antonio area?
In 2026 a standard home in the San Antonio area typically runs about $150 to $190 per square foot. Across Texas, a basic home runs about $180 to $280, a custom home with upgrades about $280 to $400 or more, and a high-end custom estate $300 to $600 or more.

Does the price per square foot include the land, septic and driveway?
Usually not. Per-square-foot figures leave out the land and the site work. On a rural South Texas lot, clearing, the septic system, a well or water line and a caliche or gravel drive are priced on their own, so ask to see them listed separately.
