How We Build
The Model
Pecan Row Homes operates as a fee-builder. That means you own the lot, you own the construction loan, and we manage the entire build on your behalf — from subcontractor selection through final walkthrough.
We earn a fee equal to a percentage of the hard construction cost. That fee is fixed at contract. We do not profit from change orders beyond the agreed markup, we do not buy materials at a markup and resell them to you, and we do not benefit from cost overruns.
The incentive is simple: we get paid our full fee when the home is done right, on time, and on budget. That alignment is by design.
You know the full fee at signing — it does not change.
All subcontractor invoices are paid directly from your construction account — you see every dollar.
Draw requests are milestone-based — funds advance when work is complete, not before.
Monthly cost reports keep you current on budget vs. actual at every phase.
No land risk for us — we are not speculating on your lot value. Our focus is building your home.
The Fundamentals
You own the land. We build on it. No developer packages, no pre-set community requirements. Traditions, Greens Prairie Reserve, outer city limits, Historic Bryan — wherever you have found your lot in the Brazos Valley, we work where you want to live.
Every home starts with a blank sheet of paper. You, your architect, and our team collaborate from concept through construction documents. No plan books, no standard packages. A home designed around how your family actually lives — not how a developer thinks you should.
We build in the $900K–$1.5M+ range with the standard of permanence. Every subcontractor is vetted, insured, and accountable. Every scope is contracted. Every milestone is documented. We do not consider a home finished until you do.
The Process
We review your plans, confirm scope, and execute a fee build contract. You know exactly what the home costs and what our fee is before a shovel touches the ground. No ambiguity, no surprises at closeout.
Permits pulled, subcontractors selected and contracted, schedule built and shared. Every trade partner is vetted, insured, and bound to their scope before mobilization. The job starts organized.
Monthly cost reports, milestone-aligned draw requests, and direct communication at every phase. You always know where your home stands — on schedule, on budget, or with a clear explanation of why not.
Owner walkthrough, punch list completion, Certificate of Occupancy, and a one-year workmanship warranty. At closeout you receive a full Homeowner Package — specifications, trade contacts, maintenance schedules, and warranty documentation.
What to Expect
The average Pecan Row home runs approximately 12 months from construction start to certificate of occupancy, with 2 months of pre-construction preceding that. From contract to keys: roughly 14–16 months.
We build in the $900,000–$1.5M+ range. Hard construction cost is priced at contract. Soft costs (permits, engineering, architecture) and lot cost are separate. We do not build spec homes.
Direct access to the builder — not a project manager. Monthly written cost reports, weekly site updates during active construction, and same-day response on any issue that affects your budget or schedule.
Finish selections are made on a defined timeline beginning at contract. A structured process keeps decisions on schedule and prevents the single most common source of delay in custom homebuilding.
The first step is straightforward — tell us about your lot, your timeline, and what you are trying to build. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.
