WHY, WHAT, WHERE, HOW MUCH?

Happy Clients

WHY GENUINE? — Whether your inspiration comes from a Houzz.com idea book or a napkin sketch… GCH can help create YOUR perfect home! Limitations? NONE. Architectural styles? ALL. Welcome to the next generation of home design and construction!


WHAT SEPARATES GENUINE? Simply stated, building bespoke luxury residences tailored specifically for today's discerning homebuyers is not without its challenges. In today's exceedingly complex environment, this requires great effort, patience, skill, and experience. Our entire team has a proven track record of excellence not only seen in our work but graciously shared by our homeowners who have effectively become our marketing team. Discover our reviews and inquire to experience the Genuine way for yourself!


WHERE DOES GENUINE BUILD? — Whether on your existing property or looking for your perfect homesite, we can help within a 50-mile radius of San Antonio. Genuine Custom Homes can be found in several prestigious communities throughout the San Antonio Metro and surrounding hill country! Serving: Bandera, Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, Hays, Kendall, and Medina counties.

GENUINE'S AVERAGE COST PER SQUARE FOOT?


Price per square foot is simply a mathematical equation where the FINAL cost of your home is divided by the living footage. This is precisely why at Genuine we spend so much time with you during the design process to understand exactly what YOU want. Our sub-contractors and suppliers are providing a quote based on YOUR floor plans along with the precise details YOU specify, not “set features” or “base allowances”. Hence, why our contract pricing is simply more accurate because we ask about about EVERY-thing! This attention to detail is just one of the reasons why our homeowner reviews are second to NONE!

  • Average: $373.36/ft² (for construction only)
  • Lowest: $361.16/ft² (for construction only - Feb. '24)

VARIABLES THAT IMPACT PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT?

  1. DESIGN COMPLEXITY: architectural details, ceiling/wall heights, ratio of conditioned space to covered areas, roof complexity, shape factor, spans
  2. PREFERRED AMENITIES: appliances, cabinetry, finishes, flooring, hardware, insulation, millwork, plumbing, roofing, specialty windows/doors, etc.
  3. SITE CONDITIONS: foundation volume, stair count, railing, driveway ft², permitting, utilities

While no two homes are alike... (nor the site conditions present), to set a realistic price expectation for YOUR Genuine Custom Home, please schedule your personalized consultation today!

GENUINE’S STANDARD FEATURES? — What's included? EVERYTHING you need, but not always everything you WANT. Surprised? With custom home building, there's no "set specification" for appliances, cabinets, flooring, hardware, lighting, plumbing, insulation, etc. At GCH, all features will be custom-tailored to suit your specific requirements and priced accordingly. Everything in, on, around, and throughout your home will be covered. 


Often builders try to emotionally steer buyers by showcasing a 7-figure luxury model home, promoting pre-selected features and pre-set "levels" on pre-designed floor plans. Doesn't sound very custom, does it? We agree and that is precisely WHY our approach is vastly different! At GCH, we focus on helping you maximize EVERY detail of your home without losing sight of your IDEAL budget. Just imagine how the design and details of your own custom home can be solely for YOUR views, YOUR trees, and YOUR homesite, all while keeping as many of the luxury features discerning buyers desire.


I HAVE A BUDGET, CAN I STILL BUILD A GENUINE CUSTOM HOME? — Yes, of course. Working within a budget is very common and we'll do our absolute best to align your design goals with your fiscal ones. Because GCH has such low overhead (no spec homes, models, salespeople), you can be assured that more of your budget will be allocated toward YOUR home. Whether you're budget-conscious or focused on your vision, we will work closely with our team of professionals to create a home plan that best aligns with your wants, needs, and budget. Feeling nervous? Don't worry. At GCH, we don't sign the building contract until all the specifications have been prepared up front and put in writing. We are excited to learn more about your vision because it's our absolute pleasure and privilege to build the house of your dreams!"
