Our manual outlines the homebuilding process, from contract, thru financing and construction, to closing and thru your home’s warranty period. The Homeowners Manual includes our written Builders Warranty, as well as, helpful home maintenance tips.
4. Highest Level Building Standards
- Braselton Homes fully outlines the construction standards we build to, in chapters 9 and 10 of your Homeowners Manual. Our standards are nationally accepted, and were adopted as the Residential Construction Standards of the State of Texas, under the Texas Residential Construction Commission (TRCC).
5. Multi-Level Construction Inspection Process
- Braselton Homes, in addition, to the required municipal inspections, utilizes over 50 Quality Control Inspection Checklists, to construct your home. No one gets paid till their work is completed, and reviewed.
- We also have an independent engineer design and review the construction of your home, for compliance to Windstorm Construction Standards. And, we have multiple Energy Efficiency Inspectors check your home during the construction process.
- Additionally, we have construction superintendents on-site, as well as a Vice President of Construction reviewing the superintendents’ work. And, of course, two generations of Braselton’s are in your home, making sure it’s up to the standards set, over 60 years ago.

8. Exclusive Builder of Eco-Homes
- Only Braselton Homes builds Eco-Homes™; they are the most Energy Efficient homes in South Texas.
9. Our H.E.R.S. Standards Exceed International Energy Codes
- Other builders may not even know what H.E.R.S. Ratings are. A Home Energy Efficiency Rating System (HERS) is the nationally accepted system of rating a home's energy efficiency, and,… like a golf score, the lower the rating the better. An energy efficient home built to the International Energy Code 2006 rates a 100; a home built to the US Government Energy Star Standards rates an 85, or 15% more efficient than code. Each BraseltonBuilt Eco-Home™, however, exceeds the Energy Star rating by at least 25%, with most homes coming in at a H.E.R.S. rating of 79, or below.
10. Guaranteed Air Conditioning and Heating Bill
- Ask for this kind of guarantee anywhere else and you'll hear nothing but laughter. But at Braselton Homes, we don't think high air conditioning and heating bills are a laughing matter. In our E.F.L. Eco-Homes, we guarantee the A/C and heating bills for the first 3 years you live in your Braselton Eco-Home™.
