A design-build firm with fixed pricing. Luxury custom homes and ranches in Austin, Lake Travis, Lake LBJ and the Texas Hill Country.

Nearly everyone who calls us has heard a story about a custom home that ended well past the number it started at. Our process exists to prevent that. You get preliminary pricing throughout design, then a fixed price, never cost-plus, with allowances covering the many selections you will make along the way. This transparent model helps avoid surprises at the end of the project, so you know what to expect every step of the way.

Being design-build means we'll help guide you from initial lot evaluations all the way to move-in. You work directly with our team and the owners who make the decisions. Some clients bring their own architect, and we happily work side by side. Others arrive with an idea, and we bring in architects we trust.

We know what to look for in a lot, because grade, orientation, granite, and drainage decide what a site can carry long before the first drawing. If you are considering a lot, talk with us before you put it under contract.

Tony Holt, our President, is a Graduate Master Builder and a Certified Green Professional. Steve Zbranek, co-owner, is an Austin Builders Hall of Fame inductee and a two-time National Master Builder of the Year. Between us and the team we have built, more than 50 years of combined experience in Central Texas.

To us, a successful project ends in an excellent home, a happy client, and a process that was, in fact, fun.

### Reviews

**★★★★★ — madison@designsbydanyalekeim.com, Aug. 2026**

> Danyale Keim Design: I’ve had the pleasure of working with Zbranek & Holt on many custom luxury homes, and every experience has been exceptional. Their entire team runs a tight ship and stays on top of every detail—from the initial plan development and coordination to project management throughout construction and the final quality of the home.
>
> As a designer, I truly value the collaborative, hands-on partnership they bring to each project. Their team is organized, communicative, solutions-oriented, and committed to delivering an outstanding product. It’s always a pleasure to work hand in hand with them, and each project has resulted in a beautifully crafted home that everyone involved can be proud of... especially our clients!! I highly recommend Zbranek & Holt!

**★★★★★ — Austin Bentley, Dec. 2025**

> Architect that worked with Z&H on a new lake house. We had a great working relationship and I would recommend them to any client or architect looking for a builder in Horseshoe Bay or Austin.

**★★★★★ — Dr. and Mrs. Charles Chew, Dec. 2025**

> Zbranek and Holt Custom Homes:
>
> We found Zbranek and Holt Custom Homes through both an on-line search and a recommendation from our real estate agent.  They were also recommended multiple other times during our property search and acquisition.  They have built quite a few custom homes in our area which provided us with a good idea of their scope and creativity.  We met with Steve  Zbranek and our real estate agent at our lot and explained our idea and budget.  He thought he could do it and we met again in a few weeks to see some rough possibilities.  He and his designer “hit the nail on the head” the first time.  We agreed on our budget requirements and said go.
>
> From that point on his work just got better.  The flow of the process finalizing plans, selecting materials and colors and quality became easy, efficient and enjoyable.  With the help of weekly meetings involving materials, subs, and his staff was never a chore.  Our project manager Troy Stephenson was always available.  He was always open to our ideas and questions and took good care of our property and construction site.  The client portal program kept us completely informed on costs, selections,subs, and progress.  They delivered on time and on budget.
>
> Steve Zbranek and Tony Holt of Zbranek and Holt Custom Homes get my highest recommendation.  They are highly knowledgeable, capable, and creative.  They make it easy to be my friends.

**★★★★★ — Quality Cleaning, Dec. 2025**

> As the owner of a construction cleaning business, I’ve had the honor of working on the beautiful, high-end builds completed by Zbranek & Holt. Experiencing their projects from start to finish — and working directly with their project managers, homeowners, and the many trades involved — has given me a unique inside perspective on this builder.
>
> I can confidently say that Zbranek & Holt consistently deliver exceptional quality, professionalism, and communication. Anyone who chooses to work with them will not be disappointed.

**★★★★★ — Michael and Laura Wiley, Aug. 2025**

> We would not hesitate to recommend Zbranek & Holt Custom homes and would hire them again.  We were very pleased with the support, communication, and responsiveness throughout the project.  They managed unexpected issues and changes effectively, and addressed questions and concerns promptly.  From onsite supervision, to administrative professionals, to executive management, they were a pleasure to work with.

**★★★★★ — George and Sandra Mitchell, March 2025**

> Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes built out home in Lago Escondido at Horseshoe Bay, Tx.  We were very specific on almost everything we wanted done.  Steve and Tony and their staff went over and beyond to help us.  We had chosen a color scheme of black and white for the entire house.  Jeremy anticipated things to coincide with this scheme or make sure it was exactly what we would want before being asked.  Tyler was always available and quick to offer suggestions and help with any questions or concerns.  Tori was the best at  helping with all the purchasing and finding the answers to our many questions and changes.  We highly recommend Zbranek and Holt to build you custom home!

**★★★★★ — uko529, March 2025**

> I'm pleased to share my most recent (4-Mar-2025) experience with Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes.
>
> Austin encountered the crazy gust wind of ~50 miles/hour on the ground, in most area on 4-Mar-2025.
> Our lot being on top of the hill facing Lake Travis ending up with close to 100 miles/hour, due to both speed-up and Venturi effects.
> One exterior patio 60" ceiling fan caught the crazy wind and was blown out of its socket with only one bolt left holding it, dangling and spinning & blades hitting ceiling due to wind...possibly falling anytime which can cause more damage to window, tile, and fan itself...
>
> House was delivered end 2021, so the warranty period has long passed. Reached out to Z&H bossman Tony Holt at 5PM for help...
> Tony and his VP Tyler Dart scrambled for electricians that can stop by to fix, but all were gone for the day. The phone rang again...
> Tyler sacrificed his family time with the new-born baby, drove 40 minutes across the town, arrived 6:20PM and completely fixed it at 7PM... then drove another 40 minutes back home... totally beyond the expired warranty and his call of duty. I call it as far and beyond a 5-star customer service!

**Comment from Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes:**

> Thank you for your kind words! Building your home was truly a pleasure, but what we value most is the relationship we build along the way. As you know, our commitment to you extends far beyond construction—we’re here for you before, during, and long after your home is complete.
>
> Your home is incredible, and it was an absolute joy to bring your vision to life. We appreciate the trust you placed in us and look forward to staying connected.

**★★★★★ — Charles Schroeder, Nov. 2024**

> The short version: Out of the handful of close friends that have built a custom home in the last 2-3 years, I’m not simply the only one still speaking with their builder, I’m writing them a 5 star review.
> The longer version: The opportunity to build your dream, custom home can be an amazing experience.  Most of the world never gets this chance.  And your hopes and dreams and excitement are all wrapped up in a vision you have for your future home.  At the same time building a custom home is hard.  It just is.  Every custom home is only built once - and the first time you build anything, you make mistakes and learn along the way.  When you multiply that by the literally 1000’s of small and large choices, the chance for something to go wrong is nearly 100%.  So it’s not a matter of everything being perfect - it’s a matter of how you work together when everything isn’t perfect and doesn’t go well.  And in a time of high inflation, contractor variations, and occasional materials shortages, it can even be harder.   When choosing a builder, this may be just one of a hundred or thousand homes they’ve built - but for you, it’s likely the only one.  We’ve been in our Z&H home for about one year now - and we’ve been able to see the entire process from a wish list of features to a full warranty period.  Tony, Tyler, Brandie, and Johnny have been there for our whole journey.  The home exceeds our expectations in both form and function.  Special thanks to Brandie for working with us through all the small choices we needed to make; we had a standing meeting each Thursday and I always looked forward to those discussions.  And special thanks to Johnny for being there with us every day - the good days and the harder days - never wavering in his desire to make things right for us.  There were several “unplanned challenges” along the way - some needing small adjustments and others needing a fairly major re-thinking of approach.  In each of these moments, I felt like we were able to each be honest with the other on our perspectives, to get the facts and the options on the table, and to come to an agreement on the best way to move forward.  None of my friends that have built custom homes can say the same.  If you’re thinking of building a custom home in the area, you should definitely consider Zbranek & Holt.

**★★★★★ — Erin Kelsey, Nov. 2024**

> Tony and his entire team are a class act.  As an executive of a large family office, I have experience with over a dozen high-end home build projects.  The level of communication and transparency the Z&H team provides is unmatched and superior to all other construction companies I have worked with.  The invoicing system is highly organized and flawless.  The change order process is transparent and easy to manage.  Z&H kept on schedule and kept the stress and pressure off the homeowner.    Then there is the finished product!  A beautiful custom home!  And finally, once the project was completed, Z&H treated the home like their own - attending to any issue, no matter how minor.  They stand by their work.  Excellent quality for a fair honest price.

**★★★★★ — James Gregg, Nov. 2024**

> I've had a handful of custom homes built over the years and Zbranek & Holt is by far the best custom home builder I've used. The house design was very modern with a few challenging design elements, but everything turned out perfectly. Their project manager was very meticulous and was on site every day to make sure everything was done properly. He said at the start he was going to build the home as if it was his own, and he was true to his word, and that goes for the entire staff at Z&H. Their accounting is very transparent, and unlike many other home builders, they won't underbid the job and then try to hit you with hidden costs later. You can log into your personalized client portal online to always keep up with every detail, and every change order is well documented. It has been a real pleasure working with these guys and I would highly recommend them for any house construction project in the Austin area.

**★★★★★ — D H, Sept. 2024**

> The Zbranek and Holt team were outstanding to work with.  I would use them again without hesitation to build another home.

**★★★★★ — HU-481055961, July 2024**

> Promises delivered.   Steve Zbranek and his professionals led us through the entire process and delivered on everything we agreed on.   On time and on budget.   Can’t say enough about their office and admin staff.    No guesswork on costs vs bids and where everything was in real time.   Our onsite project manager was top notch and always very responsive to questions, changes, or any small detail that came up.  Not only that, but we have been in the home for almost 11 months and they continue to follow up and make sure everything is perfect.

> We can’t recommend ZH with any greater confidence.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Granite** *(in Photo Questions)*

What granite is this please?

A: Elegantkt, happy to see that you like this particular Zbranek &amp; Holt home as well! This was an amazing project in the Westlake area of Austin that our clients enabled us to utilize for the benefit of a local charity that supports abused children. 
As a showcase home it features some really wonderful and unique aspects. This kitchen not features custom designed and built cabinets of solid cherry, but a combination of surfaces that compliment the overall design. The perimeter counters you asked about are Breccia Sarda Honed marble and the over-sized island utilizes a Bronzite Honed quartzite. 
Feel free to let me know if you have additional questions about either past project or the one you appear to be working on. We hope this information is helpful to you. 
Jean Barreiro, Zbranek &amp; Holt Custom Homes

**Q: Ceiling** *(in Photo Questions)*

Please tell me the company that did this ceiling? Horseshoe or Austin?  Or could you tell me the type of tile and colors used?

A: Elegantkt, we are delighted that you like this Zbranek &amp; Holt  home as much as we do!  As discussed in your other question regarding the light fixture we worked closely with our project designer, Sherry Lesley to bring this concept from vision to reality for our clients. The ceiling treatment was done by our Zbranek &amp; Holt expert craftsmen using a custom selected stone from Alkusari Stone in Austin, Faux Wood Beams and a custom selected plaster mold to create the cast stone-looking border.   
If you are building in the Austin area we welcome an opportunity to speak with directly about your project. You may call our office directly at 512-261-0444 x 101
In the meantime we hope this helps, let us know if you have additional questions ~ Jean Barreiro, Zbranek &amp; Holt Custom Homes

**Q: Light fixture** *(in Photo Questions)*

Please tell me who makes the light fixture. If it's custom please tell me whom to call. Thank you

A: Thanks so much for contacting Zbranek &amp; Holt Custom Homes, we are delighted that you like this home as much as we do! The lighting was coordinated by our designer for this particular project , Sherry Lesley with GG Ganache Interiors, in Marble Falls TX.
You can reach Sherry directly at 830-693-2522.
We hope this helps, let us know if you have additional questions ~ Team ZHCH

**Q: Railing System** *(in Photo Questions)*

What type of railing systems is being used, handrail &amp; balusters?   Manufacturer?  Thank you!

A: Thank you for inquiring about this project by Zbranek &amp; Holt Custom Homes in Austin Texas.
This extensive stairway extends up two stories and down to a wine room/garage level beneath the main entrance and living area of this home. The handrails were custom designed with an industrial feel in mind utilizing rebar with a powdercoat finish. They were manufactured by a local Austin wrought iron company.
Hope this helps with your question ~ Team ZHCH

**Q: Mr. Mike Langshaw** *(in Photo Questions)*

Why is there no house plans showing for the houses you are showing, only rooms

A: Hello Mike, thanks for reaching out to Zbranek &amp; Holt Custom Homes regarding this home we built in Austin Texas. Our firm only builds custom homes and typically does not publish the floor plans. We provide our clients with design-build full service and provide designs and plans per the needs of our individual clients. If we may assist you with a home in the Austin area please feel free to contact us directly at 512-261-0444 x 101. Thanks again ~ Jean Barreiro, Zbranek &amp; Holt Custom Homes

**Q: CEILING FAN** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can u please tell me the Brand name and Style of the ceiling fan in this room?

A: Thank you for contacting Zbranek &amp; Holt Custom Homes. While we completed this home several years back we believe the manufacturer is Quorum. However, it may be discontinued as we did not see it on their website. Perhaps you will find something close to this look on their site. Take a look at http://www.quoruminternational.com
We hope this helps and appreciate you reaching out to Zbranek &amp; Holt. 
Best of luck ~ Team ZHCH
