I need a builder in north Houston. The county if going to take some of my land soon for an overpass and I will be then homeless as I live now where the overpass will be and wife and I will not live under a bridge or in a car or in an RV. I will get paid for it so I plan to build with that cash to relocate elsewhere on the remanding land. I have a frame house where I live and I have a mobile home I use an office. I plan to move the mobile home and use it for quarters while we are building and then live in the new house and let my wife mobile house for her hobbies. My wife has arthritis and at 44 and she really hurts when it is cold. We need to keep the house at 78 – 80 for her to function. The two homes she has lived with me (8 years) we have a running battle to keep the house warm for her and cooler so I cannot turn to a well-done steak. The drafts are the issues as well the cold. We will need a lot of thermal breaks in the slab and the walls to keep the warmth in check. I am looking at a 2500 – 3200 sq. ft. house. Ideally, and I would like to have a passive/net zero house with power using solar with the grid as a backup but we can go solar later if needed. I will required to move within about 3 months and that is why I plan to live on the mobile home as I know there is now way to build a new house in that short time frame. I have a floor plan in mind but I need a builder to do the work. I have a budget in mind and this will be paid in cash so I may require doing some of the finish work myself. Please send me you contact information and you referrals. I do NOT to use any types of foam that will make any toxic outgasses.
