BCI Homes did an excellent job on our home. They are very professional, know the right contractors to use and we couldn't be happier. Their customer service is what matters to them. Everyone is friendly and helpful while getting things done timely Mr. Lipe takes pride in their craftsmanship.

My team at Green Zone Home provides energy efficiency rating and evaluation services for BCI Custom Homes. We evaluate thousands of homes yearly in central Texas. BCI Custom Homes goes far beyond the base standards by using advanced insulation, equipment, and other components. They also voluntarily work to have their homes certified and labeled with the Energy Star for Homes program of the federal government. These extra efforts lead to increased comfort and lower operational costs.

Building a new custom home can be frustrating for people who don't do it regularly. Tommy and BCI Custom Homes are a team that you can trust and make it a rewarding experience. I've worked with BCI Custom Homes since 2002 and in my experience he is great at giving each client the attention and the personal care that they deserve. BCI Custom Homes has been building homes in the Hill Country of Texas for decades.
I believe that the firm is constantly working on improving and has met the test of time. As the only Energy Star Certified Builder I have worked with, he keeps up with the latest building science and is extremely conscientious about how operating and maintenance cost of the future are impacted by what he builds for you today. In the end, our design clients spend more time with the builder than they do with us. There are plenty of builders who start out strong, but Tommy follows through and does a great job of finishing the job.
