Luxury Contemporary
Home Builder in Fort Worth
The Construction Group designs and builds luxury contemporary custom homes for Fort Worth’s most discerning homeowners — where clean architecture, uncompromising craftsmanship, and a cost-plus transparent process come together for clients who expect more than a production build.
What "luxury contemporary" means at The Construction Group
A luxury build isn’t defined by square footage alone — it’s defined by the level of design intent and craftsmanship behind every decision. Our contemporary homes are built around clean architectural lines, expansive glass, and a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living, executed with the fit and finish luxury buyers expect: custom millwork, integrated smart-home systems, and materials selected for both permanence and design.
Contemporary vs. traditional luxury
Contemporary architecture is defined by clean, unornamented lines, large expanses of glass, open floor plans, and flat or low-slope rooflines — a deliberate contrast to the more ornamental detailing of traditional luxury styles like French Country or Tuscan. The goal is a home that feels current and deliberately minimal without sacrificing warmth: natural materials, abundant daylight, and spaces that flow into one another rather than being broken into formal, separated rooms. For homeowners drawn to that aesthetic, it’s a genuinely different design language than most Fort Worth luxury builders offer.
Who we build for
Our residential clients are typically building on a premier lot — in an established neighborhood like Westover Hills or a gated community like Maverick, Bluejack Ranch, or Bella Ranch — and are working with their own architect or one we introduce them to. Projects generally range from $1M to $4M+, reflecting the level of design and craftsmanship involved.
Design process
Every project starts with design, not construction. If a client already has an architect, we step in during the design phase to advise on constructability, budget, and materials before drawings are finalized. If not, we connect clients with a network of architects who specialize in contemporary residential work. Design typically runs several months before groundbreaking, depending on complexity — time spent here reduces costly changes once construction starts.
Construction process
Once design is finalized, every project runs on a cost-plus, transparent model: clients see actual costs for labor and materials, not a padded lump sum. We manage the full process — permitting, subcontractor coordination, and financial tracking — with a single point of accountability from groundbreaking through final walkthrough.
Materials & craftsmanship
Luxury contemporary design lives or dies in the details. Our builds typically include custom millwork and cabinetry, integrated smart-home and lighting control systems (including Lutron), high-performance window and door systems for those signature large glass openings, and structural and finish materials selected for long-term durability as much as appearance. Energy performance is built into the envelope from the start rather than treated as an add-on.
What to expect: timeline
Most luxury custom homes with The Construction Group run 12-16 months from groundbreaking to move-in, following several months of design. A general shape:
- Design & permitting — 3-6 months, depending on architectural complexity and municipal review
- Foundation & structure — 2-4 months
- Interior build-out & finishes — 6-8 months
- Final walkthrough & closeout — 2-4 weeks
Actual timelines vary by size, site conditions, and design complexity.
Why The Construction Group
Contemporary design is a genuine specialty here, not a side offering — a niche few Fort Worth builders claim at this level of craftsmanship. As a Fort Worth-based builder since 2006, with nearly two decades of luxury residential experience, we bring the design sensibility of a boutique builder with the operational discipline of a larger firm.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the typical budget range for a luxury custom home with The Construction Group?
Most of our custom residential projects range from $1M to $4M+, depending on size, site, and design complexity.
Do you only build in gated communities?
No — we build throughout Fort Worth's premier neighborhoods and communities, gated and non-gated alike, including established areas like Westover Hills as well as developments like Maverick and Bluejack Ranch.
How is a luxury contemporary home different from a standard custom home?
It comes down to design intent and finish level — luxury contemporary builds typically involve architect-led design, premium materials, integrated smart-home systems, and a level of custom detailing beyond a standard custom build.
Can I bring my own architect?
Yes. Many clients already have an architect; we also work with a network of architects who specialize in contemporary luxury residential design.
How do you select subcontractors for a project of this scale?
We work with a vetted network of trade partners with a track record on high-end residential builds, chosen project by project based on the specific scope and craftsmanship required.
What smart-home and energy-efficiency features do you typically include?
Most projects include integrated lighting and climate control (often Lutron-based), high-performance glazing, and a building envelope designed for energy efficiency from the start rather than retrofitted later.
How involved is the homeowner during construction?
As much or as little as they'd like — our cost-plus, transparent process means clients always have visibility into budget and schedule, with regular updates throughout construction.
What does "cost-plus" mean for a project at this scale?
You're billed for the actual cost of labor and materials plus a set fee — not a fixed lump sum — giving full visibility into where the budget goes on a project of this size.
