Your Guide to Buying a New Construction Home with Scott Felder Homes
Choosing a new home is an exciting step, and many buyers discover that new construction offers benefits that resale homes cannot match. Modern features, energy-efficient systems, and the ability to personalize finishes give families confidence as they plan for the future.
At Scott Felder Homes, we are proud to be the builder families across Austin and Central Texas know and trust when they are ready to begin their new home journey. Our award-winning designs, customer-focused process, and thoughtfully selected communities create an experience that supports buyers at every step. When you build with us, you are choosing a home that is carefully crafted, beautifully designed, and built to last.
Step 1: Exploring Communities
The first step in buying a new construction home is selecting the right community. We build in many of the most desirable areas throughout Austin and Central Texas, offering locations that offer convenience, natural beauty, strong schools, and long-term value. Whether you want access to the tech corridor in North Austin, the Hill Country scenery near Dripping Springs, or the charm of Liberty Hill or Georgetown, we have a community designed to match your lifestyle.
As you explore our neighborhoods, consider the daily routines that are most important to your family. Look at school districts, commute times, nearby amenities, parks, and recreation. Our homes are intentionally planned with greenbelts, trails, and gathering spaces that encourage connection and support an active lifestyle. Touring our model homes and speaking with our community sales professionals will give you a clear picture of what it feels like to live in one of our builds.
Step 2: Selecting Your Floor Plan
After choosing your community, the next step is selecting the floor plan that best aligns with your needs. Our award-winning home designs focus on flow, natural light, and everyday functionality. Whether you want a spacious kitchen for hosting, a flexible room for an office or playroom, or a private retreat at the end of the day, we offer a variety of options that support the way you live.
Personalization is one of the most significant advantages of building with us. At our design studio, you can select finishes, cabinetry, flooring, fixtures, and structural options that reflect your style and make your home feel truly your own. Our professional designers are here to guide you through every choice and help you create a space that feels cohesive and welcoming.
Step 3: The Building Process
Once your selections are complete, construction begins. This is where your home starts to take shape, and we guide you through each step of the process. You will receive regular updates on progress, and our team will explain what is happening at each stage, so you always feel informed and confident.
During construction, our focus is on quality, communication, and attention to detail. From the foundation to the final finishes, your home is built with craftsmanship and care. Our goal is to ensure that the process feels smooth, organized, and exciting, and that you enjoy watching your vision become reality.
Step 4: Energy Efficiency and Long-Term Value
Homes we build reflects our commitment to energy efficiency and innovative design. We use advanced materials and systems that help reduce utility costs, improve comfort, and enhance long-term durability. Features such as high-performance windows, efficient HVAC systems, and enhanced insulation work together to create a healthier and more efficient living environment.
Our thoughtful layouts and high-quality finishes also support long-term value. When you choose to build with us, you are investing in a home designed to serve your family well today, tomorrow, and for many years to come.
Step 5: Moving Into Your Dream Home
As construction nears completion, we invite you to complete a final walkthrough to ensure every detail meets your expectations. During this time, we review features, provide warranty information, and share helpful tips for maintaining your home.
Moving into a Scott Felder home brings confidence and excitement. You can take pride in knowing your home was designed for comfort, built with quality, and personalized to reflect your style. Our customer care team remains available to support you even after moving in, providing helpful resources whenever needed.

What OurHomebuyers Are Saying
We are forever grateful to Scott Felder Homes! We lost money and time with another home builder, but once we found Donna at Rim Rock we knew we had found our forever home. She instantly wanted to help and did! I let her know what we wanted and within a couple of days she had a lot and floor plan just for us! The entire process was true perfection! We never felt like we were just another family; never rushed or told no. We got exactly what we wanted! Our fireplace was extremely important and our designer made it happen. After designing our home Donna and our Project Manager Chad were professional and communicated every step of the building process to us. It truly went so smoothly. This team was just what we yearned for when building our dream home. My parents just came to see us and they loved every single detail of this home. We had a few minor issues once inside our home, but the problems were fixed within 48 hours. These guys know what they are doing and know how to give the best customer service! Thank you Scott Felder, we are forever grateful and can’t say it enough!Mercedes F.
