About Small House Solutions

Small House Solutions, LLC is an Austin design-build company for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and small homes. We help homeowners move from the first property questions through design, permits, utilities, construction, inspections, and final handoff.

We start with your property and what you want to build. This keeps your goals, site needs, budget, and project plan connected before design decisions become final.

Watch our welcome video, meet the people behind Small House Solutions, and see how we guide projects from early planning through construction.
How we work with homeowners

One team helps keep every stage of your project connected.

We are an Austin design-build team for ADUs and small homes. We bring property planning, custom design, permit coordination, utility planning, and construction into one working relationship.

That gives you a clear place to start. We listen to how you want to use the space, learn what matters most to you, and review the property details that may shape the plan. Then we help turn those conversations into practical next steps.

  • Your goals, property, and budget shape the starting plan.
  • Design decisions stay connected to permits, utilities, pricing, and construction.
  • We explain what our team can handle and what still needs outside confirmation.
  • You can explore completed projects before deciding if we are the right fit.
Meet the team

The people helping you plan your Austin home project.

A home project comes with many questions. Jason helps you shape the early plan, and Riley helps organize permitting and purchasing details. Together, they help you understand what comes next and when the City or a licensed professional needs to confirm an answer.

What working with us looks like

Your project moves forward one clear step at a time.

Every property and project is different. These six stages show how we turn early questions into a buildable plan, then guide the work through construction and final handoff.

01

Start with a conversation

Tell us about the property, the space you want, your rough budget, and your timing. We use that first call to talk about fit and what to check next.

Talk with our team
02

Check the property first

We look at local rules, lot status, existing buildings, trees, drainage, easements, access, and utilities to see what may shape the project.

03

Design around your needs

We turn your goals and property details into concept plans, site plans, electrical layouts, exterior views, material choices, and the drawings needed for review.
