What Is Custom Home Building in Mission, TX?

Custom home building is the process of designing and constructing a residence from the ground up based entirely on the homeowner's specifications. Unlike production builders who offer pre-set floor plans, a custom home builder starts with a blank page — creating the layout, selecting materials, and managing construction for a one-of-a-kind home. In Mission, homeowners rely on experienced local contractors who understand the area's specific building codes, soil conditions, and climate challenges.

Mission Has the Land — We Build the Home

Mission offers something hard to find in the rest of the McAllen metro — affordable lots with room to build. South of Expressway 83, along the La Joya corridor, and throughout the Palmhurst area, families are finding half-acre and full-acre tracts at prices that make custom building realistic. You get the space, the privacy, and a home designed exactly the way you want it.

But building in Mission requires a contractor who understands the local landscape. Soil conditions vary significantly — sandy loam near the river, heavy clay further north. The City of Mission has its own permitting process that's different from McAllen. And properties in the Palmhurst ETJ have yet another set of requirements. We've built across all these jurisdictions and know how to navigate each one.

The biggest advantage of building custom in Mission is value. Lower land costs mean more of your budget goes into the house itself — better cabinets, better countertops, a bigger outdoor living area. And because we also build pools and outdoor kitchens, your backyard can be move-in ready the same day as your home. No waiting months for a separate pool contractor to squeeze you into their schedule.

We Get It — Hiring a Contractor Is Stressful

You've heard the horror stories. We're here to change that.

"Production homes all look the same — we want something different"

The tract homes going up along the Mission-McAllen corridor use the same handful of floor plans with minor cosmetic swaps. A custom build means your home is designed around your family — your kitchen layout, your master suite, your outdoor living vision. No compromises.

"Our last builder's final price was $60K over the original estimate"

Budget blowups happen when builders don't detail costs upfront. We lock in a comprehensive, line-item budget during design. Every material, every fixture, every finish is specified and priced before construction starts. If something unexpected comes up, we talk about it first.

"We could never get our builder on the phone"

Communication breakdowns are the most stressful part of building a home. Our Mission-area project managers provide weekly photo updates, answer calls and texts, and keep you informed on every milestone. You'll never wonder what's happening with your build.

"We had to hire a pool company, a landscaper, and a patio guy separately"

That's three contracts, three schedules, and three companies blaming each other when things don't align. Tekton builds homes, pools, outdoor kitchens, and full outdoor living spaces under one roof. Your entire property is planned and built together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are people building custom homes in Mission?

The most active custom home areas in Mission right now are south of Expressway 83 toward the La Joya corridor, the Palmhurst area along Taylor Road, and scattered lots near Bryan Road and Conway. Some homeowners are also building on larger tracts closer to the river. We'll help you evaluate any Mission-area lot before you commit.

How long does it take to build a custom home in Mission?

Most custom homes in the Mission area take 8–12 months from foundation to move-in, depending on size and complexity. Smaller homes (under 2,500 sq ft) can be faster; larger estate-style homes with pools and outdoor kitchens may take 14+ months. We lock in a schedule before breaking ground.

Does Mission have different building codes than McAllen?

Yes — the City of Mission has its own permitting department and inspection requirements that differ from McAllen and Hidalgo County. Properties in the Palmhurst area may fall under different jurisdiction as well. We handle all permitting and know exactly which authority has jurisdiction over your lot.

Can you build the pool at the same time as the house?

Absolutely — and that's one of our biggest advantages. Most builders outsource pool work to a separate contractor, which means competing timelines and torn-up yards. We build your home, pool, outdoor kitchen, and patio as one integrated project. Your backyard is finished when you move in, not six months later.

What does a custom home cost in Mission compared to McAllen?

Land costs in Mission are generally lower than north McAllen, which means more of your budget goes toward the actual home. Construction costs run $140 to $230+ per square foot depending on finishes. We provide a full cost breakdown during design so you know exactly where every dollar goes before committing.
