What we build

Additions and New Construction in San Antonio

More room for the way you live, taken from early planning through to a finished build.

Elevation study

Overview

More room, built to fit the home you have

When a home runs out of room, an addition can give you another bedroom, a bigger kitchen or living area, or a space of your own, without leaving a neighborhood you like. New construction takes the same approach from the ground up.

ABIA takes additions and new builds from early planning through city approval to a finished build, with one team managing each stage. The goal is simple: an addition that looks like it was always part of the house.

Project types

What an addition or new build can be

  • Room addition

    A bedroom, office, primary suite or living space added to the house you have.

  • Kitchen or living expansion

    An existing room pushed out to give it the space it needs.

  • New construction

    A new build on your lot, planned from the start around how you want to live in it.

How a project runs

How an addition or new build runs

  1. 01Talk

    We start with your space, your goals and how you want it to work, so the project is understood before anything is priced or planned.

  2. 02Plan

    Scope, design options and the order of work are set out together, so you know what is being built and how it will come together.

  3. 03City Involvement

    Where the work needs it, city approval, plan review and meetings with the city come before construction starts.

  4. 04Build

    The work is coordinated and managed on site, with regular updates so you always know where the project stands.

  5. 05Finish

    Final details are completed and the finished space is walked through with you before the project is closed out.

How each stage works

Why work with ABIA

  • One team, start to finish

    The same team plans, coordinates and manages your project, so nothing is lost between the first conversation and the last detail.

  • Clear communication

    You know what is happening, what comes next and who to ask, before, during and after the build.

  • Options before construction

    Layouts, finishes and design alternatives are talked through early, while changes are still simple to make.

  • Craftsmanship you can see

    Straight lines, clean transitions and finished details. The photographs on this site are the argument.

Cost

What shapes the cost of an addition or new build

No two projects are priced the same. These are the things that move the number, and the estimate is built from your space and your choices, after we have seen them.

Questions

Additions and New Construction: common questions

If yours is not here, ask it in the form and we will answer it directly.

All questions and answers
01Do additions need city approval?

Most do. Plans go through review and approval before building starts, and that is part of every ABIA addition: the City Involvement stage comes before construction.

02Will the addition match my house?

That is the aim. Rooflines, exterior materials, windows and trim are planned to match the existing home, so the addition does not look added on.

03Can we stay in the home during an addition?

Usually, yes. Most of the work happens outside the existing house until the two are joined, and that stage is planned to keep disruption short.

04Do you build new homes?

Yes. New construction is taken from early planning through city approval to a finished build, managed by one team.

05How does an addition start?

With a conversation and a visit: what you need the space for, where it could go, and what the lot allows. The scope and plans come out of that.
