Structural Design Build + Development (SDB+D), established in 2008, is Austin's integrated land-through-finished-home design-build-development firm. We are City of Austin registered as both a builder and a developer since 2008 — one of the few firms able to guide clients through every phase of high-end residential development: land acquisition, infrastructure (water, power, sewer, OSSF), municipal entitlement and variance, financial structuring, design coordination with Austin's leading architects, and full custom construction. In plain terms, SDB+D is an Austin general contractor and construction company that designs and builds custom homes and develops the land they sit on.
We serve Austin, Westlake, Bee Cave, Lakeway, Rollingwood, Tarrytown, Pemberton Heights, Barton Creek, and the Texas Hill Country. Average contract size exceeds $500,000, with development-scale projects reaching $3,000,000+.
Most builders start where the lot ends. We start where the dirt begins.
