Awards & Recognition
Building a luxury waterfront home across Central Texas involves unique considerations that require an experienced local builder. The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) governs lakefront development along Central Texas, and navigating their permitting process for docks, boathouses, and shoreline structures is essential. Flood zone designations, setback requirements, and soil conditions vary significantly between waterfront lots: from steep limestone bluffs to gentle slopes with private coves. As a leading luxury custom home builder in Austin.
As a leading luxury home builder Central Texas homeowners rely on, Jenkins Design Build has extensive experience with LCRA permitting, dock construction coordination, and designing homes that maximize lake views while meeting all regulatory requirements. Whether you’re envisioning a lakefront estate with a private boat dock or a hilltop retreat overlooking the water, our team understands the terrain, the regulations, and the construction techniques that waterfront and lakefront home building demands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Building in Central Texas
What Does a Luxury Custom Home in Central Texas Cost?
Many of our Central Texas custom homes are built with Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF): a stay-in-place wall system that delivers R-25+ insulation, withstands winds above 200 mph, and dampens exterior sound by 60–70%. For Central Texas lots with significant grade, exposure to lake or hill-country wind, or owners prioritizing long-term operating efficiency, ICF is often the right wall system. Read our complete ICF construction guide to understand the trade-offs and where ICF makes the most sense in greater Austin.
What Our Clients Are Saying
“What a pleasure it has been to build a house with Jenkins. We enjoyed going through this process – even when I was stressed out, they were all incredibly patient and reassuring. The result is a fabulous.”
“After answering extensive questions, the resident architect designed our home. The design was so well done, we only changed approximately 10%. Even though we were not present during the construction.”
“We worked with the Jenkins team to design and build our home and would highly recommend them. The team was easy to work with and very attentive to detail. One thing that really impressed us.”
“They wanted to build what we wanted not what they wanted, and that’s what I liked! After we got our first set of plans, I understood it all. Their process saved a lot of time…and we hardly changed anything from that first design.”
