Whether you’re building a new home, adding a room or expanding your existing footprint, 188 CONSTRUCTION coordinates residential construction from concept through completion. We focus on a clear scope, practical sequencing and finishes built to hold up to everyday life in Houston — not just look good on move-in day.
188 CONSTRUCTION is licensed and insured. Our project team is supported by an engineering professional with a master’s-level background, and appropriately licensed trade professionals are used whenever Texas law or the applicable permitting authority requires them.

Residential Services
Our work is tailored for single-family homes, townhomes, investment properties, rental homes and detached residential structures. Depending on the project, the service package may include:
- New home construction
- Home and room additions
- Garage additions and conversions
- Guest houses and detached structures
- Tying new construction into your existing structure
- Final finishes and project closeout
Looking to change your layout, remove walls or update finishes within your home’s existing footprint rather than add square footage? See our Home Remodeling Houston services.
Built Around How Your Home Actually Sits on the Lot
Every residential project touches an existing structure, an existing lot and an existing set of conditions — that’s what makes home construction different from starting from scratch. Houston homes deal with strong sun, high humidity, wind-driven rain and soil movement, so we look closely at drainage, foundation condition, moisture control, energy performance and how new work will tie into what’s already there before we finalize a scope.
We don’t recommend a one-size-fits-all approach. The address, existing construction, intended use, material choices and permitting path are all reviewed before the scope is confirmed — an addition on a 1960s slab foundation is planned differently than one on a newer home.
Why Homeowners Choose 188 CONSTRUCTION
- One primary point of contact from planning through closeout — not a rotating cast of subs
- Written scopes that spell out assumptions and selections, not vague line items
- An engineering-informed perspective built into project planning, not bolted on after problems appear
- Licensed and insured operations, with licensed trades used where required
- Experience tying new construction into occupied, lived-in homes
- Straightforward answers about what a project will actually involve day to day

Our Process
- Consultation — We discuss the property, goals, budget range, schedule and known concerns.
- Site Visit — Our team reviews access, existing conditions, measurements and visible constraints.
- Scope and Estimate — We organize the proposed work, assumptions, selections and pricing into a written scope.
- Design and Permits — When applicable, drawings, registered professionals, permits and inspections are coordinated.
- Construction — Work is sequenced with communication, trade coordination and quality checks.
- Final Walkthrough — We review completed work, address agreed closeout items and confirm the handoff.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you build an addition onto an occupied home? Often, yes — although access, utility interruptions, dust control and safety need to be planned before work begins so daily life is disrupted as little as possible.
Do additions require drawings? Many additions require architectural and structural documents. The required package depends on scope and jurisdiction.
Can you match existing finishes? We work to coordinate new finishes with the home, but exact matches aren’t always possible for discontinued or aged materials — we’ll flag this early rather than promise a perfect match we can’t deliver.
When can construction start? Start timing depends on design, selections, permits, material lead times and crew scheduling. We give a realistic window once the scope is finalized, not before.
Do I need to move out during construction? Usually not for an addition — since the work happens in new space, most homeowners stay in the home. We’ll walk through what to expect for your specific project during the site visit, including any short interruptions for tie-ins.
