Home size and structural design
Total conditioned area, long spans, elevated foundations, rooftop terraces, pools, and reinforced specialty spaces affect engineering and construction scope.
Texas Custom Build Investment Guide
Concrete House Cost in Texas
A realistic starting point for planning a permanent, high-performance concrete residence—from construction cost to long-term ownership value.
Planning Range
$395–$550 Per Square Foot
Aegis custom concrete homes typically fall between $395 and $550 per square foot, depending on size, finishes, structural features, location, and site conditions. New custom projects generally begin at a total build value of $750,000.
This is an early planning range, not a quote. A reliable estimate requires a site, preliminary program, architectural direction, and the resilience features you want to include.
| Example conditioned area | Planning range at $300/sq ft | Planning range at $550/sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 2,500 sq ft | $750,000 | $1,375,000 |
| 3,500 sq ft | $1,050,000 | $1,925,000 |
| 5,000 sq ft | $1,500,000 | $2,750,000 |

What Shapes the Budget
Four Major Cost Factors
02
Site and coastal conditions
Access, soil, elevation, flood-zone requirements, wind exposure, utilities, and local permitting all influence the final investment.
03
Architecture and finishes
Custom glazing, millwork, stone, fixtures, appliances, and interior finish selections can move a residence within the planning range.
04
Resilience features
Impact-rated openings, backup power and water, safe rooms, vaults, and enhanced flood mitigation add capability as well as cost.
Beyond First Cost
