Work with a Plano-based builder for custom new construction, build-on-your-lot homes and comprehensive renovations of established residences.
Plano presents two distinct opportunities: creating a new residence on an available or replacement homesite, and transforming an existing home whose location is already right.
Gutman’s whole-home renovation work can address layout, additions, kitchens, primary suites, finishes, systems and the way interior spaces connect to outdoor living.
As Gutman’s home city, Plano projects benefit from the shortest response time for site visits and inspections — new construction starts with a review of the specific neighborhood’s HOA guidelines and permitting requirements.
For Plano landowners, Gutman evaluates the lot’s setbacks, easements and soil conditions before finalizing a design, whether the property sits in an established neighborhood or a newer development.
For Plano homeowners whose location is already right, renovation can reopen a dated floor plan, add square footage, rebuild kitchens and primary suites, and update systems and finishes throughout — while keeping the neighborhood, lot and mature trees that made the property worth keeping.
Gutman also partners directly with architects, interior designers and developers on Plano projects, coordinating construction around plans and specifications set by your existing design team.

It depends on the property. Renovation usually makes sense when the location and existing structure are sound and the goal is layout, systems and finishes. A replacement build makes sense when the existing floor plan cannot reasonably be reworked to meet your needs. Gutman reviews the structure, mature trees and site-access conditions before recommending either path.
Gutman follows four phases: Define (clarify the property, goals and architectural direction), Develop (coordinate plans, engineering, selections and approvals), Build (manage trades, sequence, communication and quality control), and Complete (inspections, orientation, walkthrough and move-in).
Every new Gutman custom home receives a HERS evaluation, which benchmarks the home’s energy performance using the rating methodology maintained by RESNET.
Every new custom home closes with a final walkthrough and systems orientation. Our standard builder warranty includes one year of workmanship coverage, two years of coverage for electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems, and ten years of structural coverage. All warranty coverage is backed by an independent third-party warranty provider.
Gutman builds without a fixed aesthetic — modern, transitional and traditional homes are all shaped around the client, the property and the surrounding neighborhood context.
Whether you already own land, are evaluating a homesite or want to transform an existing residence, Gutman can help define the next step.
