Custom Home Builder in Boerne, TX
Build on your Boerne-area land at a price you know before you start.
Fixed-Price and Custom Homes Around Boerne
Boerne has it all: the Hill Country Mile, Cibolo Creek, good schools and San Antonio half an hour away. That’s why it’s one of the fastest-growing towns in the Hill Country, and why building here can get expensive fast.
Not every Boerne home needs to be a luxury showpiece with a moving target for a budget. Big Country Design & Construction builds solid, good-looking Hill Country homes on your land, with a firm number before we break ground. We’re based in Kerrville, about 45 minutes up I-10, and we work across Kendall County.

Building in Boerne: city vs. Kendall County
Inside city limits, permits come from the City of Boerne’s Permitting and Code Compliance office. If any part of your lot is in a FEMA flood zone or one of the city’s own mapped local floodplains, you’ll need a floodplain permit. The city sets the lowest floor 1 to 2 feet above the base flood elevation, depending on which flood study applies.
Outside city limits, Kendall County uses a single Development Permit for your septic, well, the home and any flood-zone work. Septic and well installs wait for the county’s sign-off. Kendall County doesn’t issue a residential building permit, so there’s no county building inspection. We build to the International Residential Code anyway and log every phase with photos.
Wells: Kendall County is in the Cow Creek Groundwater Conservation District. New wells need a Certificate of Registration before drilling. The simplest exempt well status is for tracts over 10 acres, and lots inside a water utility’s service area need extra sign-off.
Why fixed price matters in Boerne
Plenty of custom builds run on cost-plus or “starting at” pricing that grows with every selection. BuildSmart works the other way. You pick a proven plan, the allowances are set, and the price is locked. It only changes if you change the plan, the scope or an allowance.
