Where Alpha Construction Is The Better Call
- You want the permit handled by the company doing the work. Our whole home remodel and custom home pages say it plainly: we manage permitting and inspections as part of the build, in the City of Austin and in Cedar Park, Round Rock and Pflugerville. Their site does not say who pulls the permit, so it is a question to ask.
- You want a response commitment you can hold us to. Every call is returned within two hours during business hours, and every project is photo-documented from start to finish, so you can see where the job stands without visiting the site.
- You want the scope and price fixed before demolition. Layouts, materials and selections are locked in during design and planning, the scope and pricing are written down before work begins, and they stay that way. No surprise costs.
- You are planning a ground-up custom home. Custom home building with Pella windows is on our service list. Their residential list covers remodels, extensions and ADU conversions and does not include new custom homes.
- You want a veteran-owned local company with one office. Alpha Construction is one team based in Austin. Together Design & Build is a two-city design-build firm with a showroom; that is a difference in shape, not a knock, and some homeowners have a preference.
Both companies are based in Austin, both remodel kitchens, bathrooms and whole homes, and both take commercial work. If it is a project where you want the permit, the schedule and the photo record handled by one accountable builder, call us and we will put a scope and a price in writing.
