Create or transform a Southlake residence with custom architecture, carefully planned interiors and indoor-outdoor spaces designed around the property.
A Southlake custom home may need to support formal entertaining, everyday family life, guest accommodations, extensive outdoor living and specialty spaces—without feeling disconnected or overdesigned.
Gutman coordinates the plan, architecture, material direction and construction around the client rather than applying one recognizable house style.
Southlake’s established neighborhoods carry some of the more detailed HOA and architectural review processes in the DFW Metroplex — Gutman works through those approvals as part of the design phase, not after plans are finalized.
On a Southlake lot you already own, Gutman confirms tree-preservation rules, setbacks and existing utility runs before committing to a design, since those constraints shape the plan as much as your program does.
For Southlake 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.
For Southlake clients working with their own architect or interior designer, Gutman coordinates construction around the existing plans and specifications rather than requiring a design restart.

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).
Gutman builds without a fixed aesthetic — modern, transitional and traditional homes are all shaped around the client and the property.
Every new Gutman custom home receives a HERS evaluation, benchmarking 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.
