Home Construction in Georgetown, TX
Georgetown is the town where the permit conversation matters most, because a large part of what makes it beautiful is legally protected. If your house sits in the Downtown or Old Town overlay, exterior work needs a Certificate of Appropriateness before a building permit will issue — and that is a design review, not a formality.
New construction and large additions live or die on the drawing set and the sequence. We work from a permitted set, book inspections in the right order, and keep one point of contact so you are not chasing five trades for the same answer.
Two very different worlds. The Old Town and downtown squares hold some of the best-preserved Victorian and early-1900s housing in Central Texas, much of it inside a historic overlay. Then there is Sun City and the newer master-planned areas to the west, which are almost entirely post-1995 single-storey slab construction built for accessibility.
Applications go through the MyGovernmentOnline portal. The part that catches homeowners is the historic overlay: a Certificate of Appropriateness is reviewed against the Downtown and Old Town Design Guidelines by the Historic Preservation Officer or the Historic and Architectural Review Commission, and it comes before the building permit, not after. We handle the application and inspections through City of Georgetown Development Services as part of the job.
What's included
A complete permit set, submitted and tracked through your city's review, with the schedule built around the actual review window.
Slab or pier-and-beam to engineered specification, then framing squared and braced for Central Texas soil movement.
Roof, windows, doors, insulation and cladding sequenced so the structure is dry before interior work begins.
Full rough-in by licensed trades, inspected at each stage rather than signed off at the end.
Drywall through to final finishes and fixtures, with a written punch list closed out before handover.

Georgetown is the one with the historic overlay for us. We are based in Taylor and Georgetown is inside our core service area, so a site visit is usually within a few days of you calling — not a fortnight.
Both. Additions are often the harder job — tying new framing, roofline and foundation into an existing house so it does not read as a bolt-on takes more planning than a clear site does.
It varies by city and it is the part people underestimate. Hutto's initial plan review runs around fifteen days; Georgetown adds a historic review on top for properties in the overlay. We build that into the programme rather than treating it as a delay.
