Three ways we work.
Residential design, design-build, and construction consulting — custom home design, home additions, whole-home renovations, construction documents and permit drawings, plus owner representation when you already have a builder. A design-led residential firm that stays accountable from the drawings through construction.
Residential Design
Drawings that give builders the information they need to price and build with confidence — from the first sketch through the permit set.
- Custom Homes
- Additions & Expansions
- Renovations & Remodeling
- Permit / Construction Documents
Design-Build
One firm responsible for both the drawings and the build — keeping design intent connected to what gets constructed.
- Design + Construction
- New Construction
- Additions & Remodeling
- Pre-Construction
Construction Consulting
Owner representation and oversight for clients who already have a builder — or are in the process of selecting one.
- Owner Representation
- Project Management
- Pre-Construction Planning
- Construction Administration
Houston and surrounding areas.

Houston-based since 2014. Projects outside the Houston area are considered on a case-by-case basis.
Design, Build, or Both
HCB Designs can take a project from the first sketch through construction, or provide residential design and construction consulting while another contractor performs the work. The right approach depends on the project, rather than a fixed package.
