Questions About New Construction in Katy & Houston
These are the questions Isaias hears most from clients in Fort Bend County, Harris County, and across the greater Houston area. Every answer is written to be complete and actionable.
Do I need a buyer's agent for new construction in Katy TX?
Yes — and you should register with your agent before visiting a model home for the first time. Builder sales representatives work for the builder and have no duty to protect your interests. Isaias Contreras provides full new construction buyer representation in Katy, Fulshear, and Fort Bend County at no cost to the buyer.
Can a buyer's agent negotiate with builders in Katy and Houston?
Absolutely. While builders rarely reduce base prices, Isaias regularly negotiates free or discounted upgrades, extended rate locks, closing cost contributions, and lot premiums with builders throughout Fort Bend and Harris County. Knowing which builders have flexibility — and when — is a skill built from experience.
What is a pre-drywall inspection for new construction in Texas?
A pre-drywall inspection occurs after framing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC are installed but before drywall covers the walls. This is the most critical inspection point in a new construction home because it's the last opportunity to identify structural, mechanical, or installation issues before they're hidden behind finished surfaces.
How long does it take to build a new home in Katy or Fulshear TX?
Most new construction homes in Katy, Fulshear, and Richmond take 6 to 12 months from contract to close, depending on the builder, floorplan, and current supply chain conditions. Spec homes — already under construction — can close in 30 to 90 days. Isaias tracks builder timelines and helps buyers plan their transition accordingly.
What builder warranties are standard in Texas new construction?
Texas builders are required to provide a 1-year workmanship warranty, a 2-year systems warranty covering plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, and a 10-year structural warranty. Isaias reviews the specific warranty terms in every builder contract and documents pre-closing punch list items that trigger warranty obligations at no cost to the buyer.
