Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes As a full service design-build firm we strive to provide each client with a distinctive custom home designed specifically around their family’s individual lifestyle needs, desires, and architectural design preferences. With Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes it’s about more than building a great home—with us, it’s about you!

Our goal is to make your custom home building process a fun, simple, and stress-free experience. To meet this goal clients are provided with the latest web-driven technology and access to a secure on-line portal for all of the details to their project. Whether you are at home, at work, on the road, or on vacation, Zbranek & Holt Custom Home puts information at your fingertips about your selections, upgrades, financial decisions, questions, documents, photos and more.

To keep the Custom Home Building process simple, our fixed price approach to home building gives every buyer preliminary pricing throughout the design phase and a fixed price prior to the start of construction, with allowances for selections items. This price will be the number at the end unless there are buyer changes during construction. This costing system reduces unpredictability and stress for our clients. The secret to the success of this approach is a full time purchasing agent who works daily to secure and “lock in” the best prices for you. Vendors Constantly Seek Us Out Due To Our Reputation & Quick, On Time Payment. Over The Years We Have Built Strong Relationships With Master Craftsmen Who Time And Again Exceed Our Clients’ Expectations.

Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes specializes in working with relocating families throughout the greater Austin and Texas Hill Country area. We have a customized program that allows clients to work on their new custom home even while living in another city or state during construction. Company owners, Steve Zbranek and Tony Holt, make themselves available to meet with clients in their home town prior to beginning construction allowing for seamless continuation of your project. Our goal is to make the home building process as smooth and enjoyable as possible and our time-tested system makes this possible for our satisfied clientele.

If you are looking for a custom home builder who checks all the boxes - Zbranek & Holt will not disappoint. Professional. High quality. Knowledgable. Friendly. Timely. Highly detailed. Very organized and clean. Throughout the whole process, starting from the architectural design to the completion of our project, Zbranek & Holt guided us through the process with ease and grace. We all have heard stories of homebuilding nightmares, but with Zbranek & Holt it was a dream. I highly recommend Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes.

Zbranek and Holt has been fantastic. Not only were they great to work with through the build but even 6 years later they are still there to stand behind their work and fix any issues that come up from the build. I recommend them to any friends wanting to build a house. Service:Home building

Even though Zbranek & Holt doesn't do remodeling, and specifically Saltillo tile replacement, they returned my phone call, offered a few suggestions and provided the name and number of a potential contractor. Many thanks to Tony for going out of his way to be of service and assistance. Service:Consultation

Best business decision ever. Less than a year ago my wife and I purchased a beautiful piece of property on the Blanco river to build our retirement home. We started looking at builders and finally narrowed our choice to two firms, both with excellent reviews. One typically builds homes about the size we were looking for and was known as a reputable green builder.

The other was Zbranek and Holt. In full disclosure, we were concerned with their amazing reputation for building large spectacular homes. I was afraid that at 2275 sq/ft and while very but nice by no means extravagant, our 'little' home might not get focus the attention to detail from them that we might get from the 'little guy'. After several discussions with Steve Zbranek he resolved our concerns and we decided to go with Z&H.

As I previously said; Best decision ever. Building a home requires a close relationship for an extended time with lots of trust in your builder. In retrospect, I've never had a professional relationship with a business that was more focused on making sure every detail was done right and consistently exceeding my expectations. In addition, working with Tony Holt and the staff at Z&H during the last year has been a real pleasure.

They are truly nice people. In the next few weeks we will be moving into our river house and we will always be thankful to Tony, Steve and the rest at Zbranek and Holt for building what truly is our dream home. Thank You!

I knew of Zbranek & Holt, but never had the opportunity to work with them. A potential client wanted to work with me to design their house and Zbranek & Holt to build it. Tony and Steve made the clients a lot of promises - and delivered on every one of them. The house was smaller in both size and budget, yet I was extremely impressed with their ability to maintain the clients budget, and completed the home in a timely manner. I highly recommend Zbranek & Holt. Happy clients, happy Architect! Elliot Johnson, AIA - Images Of. Photography by John Rogers

Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes is a premier custom homebuilder. And, working with the Z&H team is a pleasure, as they are experts with many years of experience in building beautiful dream homes for their clients. As a long time subcontractor for Z&H, they value quality craftsmanship and building homes that their clients love and enjoy for many years.

They even have repeat customers who have had Z&H build them other homes as well. And, that speaks volumes for Z&H! When it comes to building your dream home you can trust that the Z&H team are the experts that deliver!

Tony Holt / Steve Zbranek and his team have an attention to detail that is far beyond that in the building industry. Watching the scheduling and coordination take place was some of the most professional that I have seen. I was surprised to see an 2 year project be completed in 10 months. Jean and her team were a joy to work with and the finished product was something to behold.

What a first class organization. I can't say enough good things about Zbranek & Holt Custom Home. If you are looking for a top notch builder with an outstanding crew.look no further! The home they did on the Home of Distinctions Tour in Austin was just outstanding! AAA

Phenomenal team of professionals. Can't beat this experience with a custom home builder. Most builders can take your plans and build you a house. But this exceptional team took my visions and built me something better. Zbranek & Holt is the "go to" for luxury lake, ranch, or airpark homes.

Zbranek & Holt are one of the premier custom home builders (if not the premier custom home builder) in the Austin and Horseshoe Bay area. We have had the pleasure of supplying and installing all of their interior doors and trim over the last several years, and it has been a pleasure to work with a company that is as concerned with detail and quality as much Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes.

They have a very experienced staff of builders that understand the construction business and who strive to have the finished product exceed their clients expectations. I would recommend them to anybody looking for a custom builder to make their dream home become a reality.
