Residential and commercial plans, drawn by the same person who will build them, and the permit work to get them approved.
What is included
Design and permitting can be the first step of a build with us, or the whole job.
How it works
Refugio Chapa III has been designing homes and commercial plans since 2017 and building them since 2021. Structural engineering is coordinated through local firms when the project calls for it.
We handle the permit process so you do not have to learn it. That includes bringing an existing building up to code and getting it to a Certificate of Occupancy.
Up to code. Cleared to open.
We handled the permitting and code-compliance work to get an existing building approved for daycare use, including the fire alarm system, through to the Certificate of Occupancy.
How we work
You will always know what is happening, what it costs, and what comes next.
We meet you at the property, look at the space, listen to what you want and talk through what is realistic. Free, no pressure.
Free consultationWe draw the plans, bring in a local engineering firm when the structure calls for it, and give you a written quote that spells out scope and timing.
Plans, scope and priceWe handle the permits, bring in the right trade crews and run the job on the schedule we agreed to. You get regular updates along the way.
Permitted, scheduled, supervisedWe walk the finished project with you, fix anything on the punch list, and hand over a space that is ready to use.
Punch list closedYes. We draw the plans, handle the permit process and build the project. When a project needs structural engineering, we coordinate it through local firms.
Yes. On a recent daycare in Austin our role was the permitting and code-compliance work, including the fire alarm system, through to the Certificate of Occupancy.
Yes. We work with homeowners, investors, developers and businesses, on construction as well as design and permitting.
Mostly in Austin, and across Central Texas when the project is the right fit. If you are outside the city, ask.
