Custom Homes · San Diego & Austin
From Vision to Completion.
Whether you are building on a coastal bluff in San Diego or a hillside estate in the Texas Hill Country, our role is the same: assemble the right team, eliminate uncertainty, and execute every detail with precision.
Building Exceptional Homes
Building Begins Long Before Construction.
The success of a custom home is determined long before construction begins. Explore our custom home building FAQs for common planning questions.
We help clients evaluate property, understand site constraints, establish realistic budgets, and assemble the right design team before a single permit is submitted. By resolving challenges early, we create a smoother building experience and significantly reduce surprises throughout construction.
Whether you are purchasing land, working with an architect, or arriving with completed plans, Rick Somers Construction provides the leadership necessary to move confidently from concept to completion.

Clarity at Every Stage
Transparent Project Management.
Building a custom home should never feel uncertain.
Throughout the project, clients receive clear communication, detailed schedules, budget tracking, and regular progress updates. Every major decision is documented, every milestone is planned, and every challenge is addressed proactively.
Our systems provide clarity, accountability, and confidence from groundbreaking through final delivery, while allowing the homeowner and design team to remain focused on the decisions that matter most.
Built to Endure
Craftsmanship Without Compromise.
Exceptional homes are built one detail at a time.
From structural framing to the final finish selections, every component is executed with precision and care. We believe craftsmanship is measured not only by what you see every day, but also by the quality built into every wall, connection, and finish.
Our goal is simple: deliver homes that are timeless in design, enduring in quality, and a reflection of the families who live within them.
