Southwest Homesteads

We listen, we understand, and we respond.

Southwest Homesteads is a full service, family owned, custom home builder that creates and builds high quality custom homes in the Central Texas market. Unique to our company is our insistence on exceedingly high levels of quality. Unlike most home builders, we employ independent third party inspectors to assure high level quality building. (We don't just rely on the minimum standards of city inspectors.) These same high standards are present throughout our company and all our transactions with you are transparent.

Southwest Homesteads has created a program management style that utilizes a team approach to building, which involve customers, suppliers, and tradesmen in every phase of your project. No surprises and no compromises in creating your dream home.

We can build your new home on your property, on one of our lots, or we can assist you in finding the building site that's just right for you. We can also assist you with financing for your new home, whether it is a construction loan or a traditional mortgage. Design services and assistance? - We do that too.

— AUSTIN MONTHLY MAGAZINE — One of nine children, and the father of five, he builds homes as if he were building them for his wife, whose standards he claims are higher than his own. With an MBA, a BS in engineering and program management, and a dozen patents under his belt, Mr. Higgins with his meticulous skills, has found a way to bring both creativity and his abiding commitment to a balance of cost and value to his home building.

Attention to detail makes his one-of-a-kind homes the antithesis of cookie-cutter production homes. This same attention to details has led him to build his unique homes - Texas Hill Country, Southwestern, Arts & Crafts, and French Country to mention but a few. What more would you expect from a guy who volunteers to teach business to high school children and ends up discussing ethics and the social fabric? A builder who brings in third-party inspectors to make certain his level of quality far exceeds that of the minimum standards of any city inspector? To test quality - of course. What would you expect from a builder who often over-nights on-site so that he can bird-dog the details? Mr. Higgins and Southwest Homesteads, keen on quality solutions, listens to your needs. This all adds up to one thing - quality you can be proud of.
