Looking for a duplex builder in Houston

[Sam Mao]

Hello BP,

We just recently acquired a lot (3000 sqft) in Houston, TX. We're thinking about building a stacked duplex on it. (Please give me some feedback if you think a lot of that size is too small for a stacked duplex). We're looking around for some builders who are specialized in multi-family projects. Any suggestions?

Assuming your property is within Houston city limits;   You will have two main challenges, although others exist.   1) you don't meet the density ordinance of COH,  you need ~3350 sq ft lot for a new duplex    2) four parking spaces are required, they can be tandem parking, but it is still tricky
However, you can do is a SFR plus a small guest house of ~400 sq ft.

Ideally, you want to consult with someone with knowledge of land planning prior to purchase, though i realize this is not always possible.   Half of potential projects brought to me, the lot/land cannot support the intent of the owner due to City of Houston ordinances.    I build multifamily and do land planning.   Land planning comes first.    Chapter 33 and 42 of City of Houston Code of Ordinances is what you need to master if you want to do your own land planning.
