Boerne offers something that is increasingly hard to find: the character of the Texas Hill Country with convenient access to San Antonio. Located along I-10 northwest of the city, the Boerne area combines established neighborhoods, growing residential communities, acreage properties, and rural homesites throughout Kendall County.
Silver T Construction provides custom home building services for homeowners in Boerne and throughout Central and South Texas. Whether you already own acreage outside the city, are planning a home within a residential community, or are still evaluating land, we can help you create a home designed around your property, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
Our team approaches every project individually. The home, homesite, budget, and priorities all work together, especially when building in an area where terrain and development requirements can vary significantly from one property to another.
Your custom home should be designed for the way you want to live, not selected from a limited set of predetermined options.
Silver T Construction provides:
Our personalized approach allows your home to respond to both your vision and the characteristics of your Boerne-area property.
Already have land? The homesite itself should be part of the planning conversation from the beginning.
Boerne-area properties can range from neighborhood lots within city limits to larger tracts and acreage in unincorporated Kendall County. Those differences can affect everything from permitting and utilities to driveway placement, grading, drainage, septic planning, and site preparation.
The Hill Country landscape is also an important consideration. The terrain around Boerne includes rolling and sometimes rugged hills with significant limestone formations and areas of relatively thin soil. Those conditions can influence excavation, foundation engineering, drainage, driveway design, and the overall placement of a home on the property.
Before plans are finalized, we look at how the home can work with the property rather than treating the land as an afterthought.
One of the first questions is whether the property falls within the City of Boerne or an unincorporated portion of Kendall County.
Projects within Boerne are subject to the city's development and building review requirements. The city's development process can include zoning or rights-of-use review, platting where applicable, building permitting, inspections, grading, drainage, and floodplain requirements depending on the property and scope of work.
Properties outside city limits may follow a different process. Kendall County requires development permitting and addresses items such as 911 addressing, access and driveways, outdoor lighting, on-site sewage facilities, residential development, floodplain considerations, and property division.
Identifying the jurisdiction early helps establish what approvals need to be incorporated into the project's pre-construction schedule.
Hill Country views often come with Hill Country terrain.
Grade changes, limestone, rock excavation, drainage patterns, and the orientation of the homesite can all affect how a custom home is designed and constructed. A thoughtful site evaluation can help determine appropriate home placement, foundation engineering, access, and grading before construction begins.
This is especially important when comparing properties. Two lots with similar acreage can require very different site work depending on slope, rock conditions, access, utilities, and drainage.
Utility planning can look very different on acreage than it does within a developed subdivision.
Depending on where your property is located, the project may involve municipal utilities, a private well, an on-site septic system, or a combination of services. Kendall County requires development approval before certain septic or well permits can be issued, and aerobic septic systems have additional documentation and maintenance requirements.
Understanding those requirements during planning can help avoid redesigns or unexpected site-related costs later.
Building on acreage involves more than choosing where the house will sit.
The property must also provide workable access for construction equipment, subcontractors, material deliveries, and ultimately the homeowner. Longer driveways, changes in elevation, county road access, gates, culverts, and drainage can all become part of the site plan.
Thinking through these items early helps create a more realistic picture of the entire project, not just the home itself.
A successful custom home begins long before the first wall goes up.
Silver T Construction's process starts with plans and specifications before moving into current project pricing, contract finalization, permitting, soil sampling, foundation engineering, septic design when applicable, site preparation, construction, selections, phase meetings, finish-out, and the final walk-through.
For Boerne homeowners, that means we can account for property-specific considerations while your home is still in the planning stage.
Building custom gives you the opportunity to think beyond square footage.
A Boerne-area home may be designed around Hill Country views, indoor-outdoor living, a large covered patio, a workshop or detached garage, multigenerational space, a home office, additional storage, entertaining areas, or a layout suited to acreage living.
Our role is to help bring those ideas together in a home that feels cohesive and intentional. Instead of forcing your needs into an existing plan, we work to create a home that makes sense for your family and your property.

Yes. Silver T Construction offers build-on-your-land custom home construction. We can discuss your property, home plans, access, utilities, site conditions, and other factors that should be considered before construction begins.
Yes, although the exact permitting process depends on where the property is located. Properties within the City of Boerne follow city development and residential permitting requirements. Properties in unincorporated Kendall County may instead require county development, access, septic, well, floodplain, or other applicable permits.
Potentially, yes. Rolling terrain and limestone are common in the Boerne and Kendall County area, so site conditions should be evaluated before the home's design and foundation plans are finalized.
Consider more than acreage and location. Access, topography, floodplain designation, utilities, water source, septic feasibility, deed restrictions, easements, driveway requirements, and site preparation can all affect how and what you are able to build.
If you are still looking for land, speaking with a builder before purchasing can help you evaluate a property from a construction perspective.
Yes. Silver T Construction's process includes planning, specifications, design decisions, and selections before and throughout construction. The goal is to create a home that reflects your needs while keeping the project organized from planning through completion.
The timeline depends on the home's size and complexity, property conditions, permitting, site preparation, weather, selections, and other project-specific factors. Rather than applying one timeline to every project, Silver T Construction can provide expectations based on your actual home and property.
