Architect, interior designer, and builder, under one roof.
Great homes don’t start with home builders. They don’t even start with architects and drawings. Great homes start with a vision. Your vision.
It begins as an idea of something tangible, a home that reflects the long hours and the big risks it took to get here. A vision of quiet, private spaces with expansive views, crafted and customized just for you.
At Jenkins Design Build, we aren’t just Austin’s leading architects and builders. We’re listeners. We’re guides. From the initial concept down to the last light bulb, we work with our clients to create homes that are truly, profoundly, their own.
The design-build model is central to how we operate. Instead of hiring an architect, then bidding the plans to a separate contractor, our clients work with a single integrated team from day one. The people designing your home are the same people building it, which eliminates the costly surprises and miscommunications of the traditional approach.

Unparalleled Expertise in Austin and the Hill Country
Whether your land sits on the shore of Lake Austin, on acreage in the Hill Country, or on a quiet street in West Lake Hills, we design and build on the lot you already own. As a custom home builder in Austin, TX, our team has completed homes in more than sixty neighborhoods across the Austin area.
Located in the heart of Austin, Texas, we specialize in designing and constructing luxury homes that complement their surroundings, maximize lake or Hill Country views, and integrate sustainable features. Our architects, builders, and interior designers transform your vision into a statement home.
Each location brings its own opportunities: slope-side great rooms that capture sunset views, outdoor kitchens designed for year-round entertaining, and energy-efficient envelopes that stand up to Central Texas summers. We handle permitting, engineering, and HOA coordination so you can focus on the exciting decisions rather than the red tape.
Client Stories
A few words from homeowners who trusted Jenkins Design Build with their custom homes.

One thing that really impressed us was that they built the house as if it were their own. It showed us how much care and passion they had for making sure the home was the best it could possibly be.”
