Can I choose my own builder?

Yes. While we offer future residents references to experienced builders in our network, you can also bring in your own designers and builders. We’ll work with them closely to streamline the building process and prevent miscommunications.

Does Ranger Ridge have an HOA?

Yes. We worked hard to clean up and restore the residential and common areas of our luxury community to ensure it looks and feels the same way it did prior to the settlement of our great state. We take great care to maintain the natural aesthetic we’ve strived to cultivate. Our builders understand the community requirements and excel at ensuring every custom-made home is constructed with high-end materials so it meets the high standards of luxury community living.

How long will it take to build my custom home and how much will it cost?

Your exact timeline and total investment will vary on a case-by-case basis, depending on your exact specs, custom modifications, the complexity of the design, type of construction materials, home site size and builders’ fees. What can be said with certainty is that it typically takes more than a year from start to finish, and getting a custom home will be more expensive than a pre-built, cookie-cutter home. Although it is a significant investment, the finished product that’s tailored to your preferences and needs makes it all worthwhile, giving you a tangible asset that you can enjoy for years to come and pass down to your children.

What Should You Look for in a Home Builder?

While the experience and reliability of contractors can affect the outcome of virtually every type of home project, the variability in quality is most pronounced on new construction projects. You should look for a builder who is:

Licensed and insured
Experienced and has a good reputation
Versatile and adaptable to changing situations
Only using high-grade, durable construction material
Honest about your project’s costs and timeline, communicating openly and frequently
Has high standards regarding their work
Professional and courteous, putting your needs and preferences first
Transparent upfront about the potential difficulties and how modifications during build can affect price and timeline

It’s crucial to choose the right builder who will make the process easier and less stressful. Every custom home builder we work with at Ranger Ridge has been vetted with these standards in mind. We will connect you with reputable builders from Texas who we have thoroughly vetted to ensure they will reliably get the job done right. Our team is always available to coordinate with builders to minimize issues and address any hurdles that arise during the process.

What Are Some Common Mistakes First-Time New Home Builders Make?

Not Planning Ahead

Many first-time home builders can underestimate the possibility of unexpected costs and delays and fail to make contingency plans. Murphy’s Law is in full effect during new home builds, which is why it’s critical to thoroughly plan each project phase, develop a reasonable schedule and then add some extra padding to your timeline and budget to account for the unanticipated. Partnering with new home builders who have extensive experience shepherding first-time clients through the complex process makes building in Ranger Ridge far easier than going it alone.

Not Communicating Properly

Whether it’s a misunderstanding regarding the initial contract or inconsistent communication during construction, a seemingly simple mix-up can quickly snowball into a major delay and extra build costs. Maintaining regular, transparent communication and keeping records of all decisions and changes can help reduce your risk of major issues.

Poor Site Selection

It’s important to schedule land inspections to verify your lot’s legal boundaries and title status as well as its unique topography to inform you of possible issues, such as improper draining, settlement or boundary disputes. At Ranger Ridge, our community planners will guide you through every step of the land acquisition process. All of our lots have been thoroughly inspected to ensure they are build-ready and don’t hide disruptive surprises.

Changing Plans Mid-Project

Try to avoid making significant changes to your blueprint after construction starts, as this can lead to substantial delays and cost increases. Ensure your plans are finalized beforehand and only implement changes if it’s necessary.

Neglecting Future Needs

Think about how you want to use your second home in the long term – like how many people will be living there or visiting regularly? If you’re expecting future children or grandchildren to stay over, you should factor that in while considering how many rooms you want your home to have during the planning stage.
