Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about new construction in Galveston.

What permits are required for new construction in Galveston?

You'll need a building permit from the City of Galveston, an elevation certificate, floodplain approval if applicable, and possibly a beachfront construction permit. We handle permit applications for you.

Why is elevation so important in Galveston?

Galveston is in a floodplain and subject to hurricanes and storm surge. Elevated homes reduce flood damage risk and insurance costs. City code sets minimum elevation standards we must follow.

Can you build on my existing Galveston lot?

Yes. We assess lot size, setback rules, drainage, and existing structures to determine what's possible. Some lots have restrictions; we'll review them with you.

What's the difference between residential and commercial new construction?

Residential builds are homes; commercial includes retail and office. Commercial requires different inspections, fire codes, and accessibility standards. We do both.

How do I know if a load-bearing wall can be removed?

Only a structural engineer can determine this safely. We work with engineers to evaluate walls, size proper headers, and ensure the rest of your home is supported after removal.

Are there any neighborhood restrictions on building in Galveston?

Some neighborhoods like the historic district have design guidelines. HOAs may have covenants. We review all restrictions before work starts.
