Planning Guides
Better questions. More considered decisions.
Planning a remodel or new space starts well before choosing tile or paint. These guides explain the decisions that shape the project: what the existing house can support, where a new building can sit, how utilities will reach it and how the finished space will serve your household.
Use them to organize your priorities before a conversation with Chad. Each guide includes practical comparisons, illustrative scenarios and a checklist. They are planning resources, not a substitute for a survey, engineering review or confirmation of requirements by the authority responsible for your property.
Start with the remodel-versus-addition guide if you are unsure whether to rework existing rooms or add space. For a detached dwelling, review the Georgetown ADU checklist and the Liberty Hill and Leander site guide together. For a garage, measure your vehicles and workshop needs before settling on a footprint.
