CUSTOM HOME PRICING — BUILDING COSTS

Clear from the start: custom home pricing in San Antonio & The Texas Hill Country

WHAT IS GENUINE'S AVERAGE PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT?

Don't Fall for the Square Foot Pricing Trap

One of the most common questions we receive as a San Antonio and Texas Hill Country luxury custom home builder is: “What is your price per square foot?” While understandable, quoting a simple “per square foot” number is rarely a reliable way to plan a truly bespoke home.


Every Texas Hill Country custom home is shaped by land conditions, architectural design, structural engineering, finish selections, and evolving construction costs across the San Antonio market. Because of this, square-foot pricing is not a starting point — it is merely a mathematical result once a fully designed home is documented.


For homeowners seeking clarity, only a transparent, project-specific analysis reveals the true cost of building well. To understand what your Genuine Custom Home may realistically require, schedule a private custom home consultation with our team.

CUSTOM HOME COST FACTORS — WHAT IMPACTS PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT?

Amenities & Luxury Finishes


From bespoke cabinetry and premium countertops to luxury appliances, designer lighting, plumbing fixtures, roofing systems, windows, doors, and integrated smart home technology — every finish decision influences your overall investment. As a Texas Hill Country bespoke builder, we align selections with your lifestyle rather than pre-set upgrade packages

Design Complexity & Architectural Detail


Architectural vision, engineering strategy, and spatial planning all influence how a home is designed, built, and priced. The level of customization and performance expectations directly shape investment outcomes. Unlike production builders, our San Antonio & Hill Country custom homes are architecturally driven from the start — where intentional design elevates aesthetics, efficiency, and long-term value.

Site Conditions


Every San Antonio and Texas Hill Country custom home starts with a careful evaluation of the homesite. Soil, topography, views, utilities, and local regulations all shape design feasibility, construction strategy, and long-term performance — ensuring your bespoke home investment maximizes value, efficiency, and livability.
