FAQ: How long does it take to design a house?

Our design process follows four organized phases, each building on the previous step:

• Pre-Design
• Schematic Design
• Design Development
• Construction Documents

Depending on the size and complexity of the home, this process typically takes 3–5 months depending on the project details.

Each phase is completed sequentially to ensure a clear direction, refined details, and a well-coordinated final design before construction begins.

This custom round Blue Agate tabletop was crafted as a statement piece for the dining room at a recently completed home in River Oaks.

Two of the most common questions we hear when planning a new home:

🏡 Permitting timeline: Plan for about 3–4 months in the City of Houston
🔨 Construction timeline: Most custom homes take 12–14 months

Every project is unique, but setting realistic expectations early helps make the entire process smoother.
