ICF construction, net-zero energy, advanced energy performance standards — the most advanced custom home building program in Williamson County.

Built for Georgetown

Why Georgetown Homeowners Choose ATB

Georgetown sits at the northern edge of Williamson County where open terrain increases exposure to tornado-producing storm systems. ICF walls rated to 250+ mph wind loads provide a level of structural protection that no wood-frame or steel-frame alternative can match.

Austin Touchstone Builders brings a credential stack few local builders can match: Certified ICF builder, DOE Zero Energy Ready Partner, Certified Passive House Builder, and 2026 ICF Builder Award winner. When you build with ATB in Georgetown, you're getting a home engineered to outperform conventional construction in every measurable category — energy use, structural durability, indoor air quality, and long-term cost of ownership.

Our Approach

What Makes a Home High Performance?

In Georgetown's climate — hot summers, severe tornadoes and severe storms, and rising energy costs — a high-performance home isn't a luxury. It's the smarter long-term investment.

🧱

ICF Construction

Insulated Concrete Form walls form the backbone of every ATB home. With a 6" concrete core surrounded by continuous EPS foam, ICF walls deliver R-values of 40–50+, virtually zero air infiltration, and structural capacity to resist tornadoes and severe storms and beyond. No wood-frame home can compete.

⚡

Net-Zero Energy

Our homes are designed to produce as much energy as they consume annually. For Georgetown homeowners, that means electric bills near zero even through Texas summers — achieved through load reduction first (ICF envelope, ERV, right-sized HVAC) then solar production layered on top.

🏛️

net-zero ready

As a Green Builder, we build to a certified standard — not a marketing claim. The certification process verifies HERS scores, blower door results, duct leakage, and mechanical system performance. Your home's efficiency is independently verified, not self-reported.

🌬️

Air Quality & ERV

An airtight home needs controlled ventilation. We integrate Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) in every build, delivering continuously filtered fresh air while recovering conditioned air energy — keeping indoor air quality high and energy waste low year-round in Georgetown's climate.

🛡️

Disaster Resilience

ICF walls are rated to resist 250+ mph wind loads and carry a 4-hour fire resistance rating. Georgetown's exposure to tornadoes and severe storms makes this directly relevant — not theoretical. When conventional homes in the area sustain major damage, ICF homes stand intact.

📐

Certified Passive House

Our Passive House certification reflects mastery of thermal bridge-free design, ultra-tight envelopes, and mechanical ventilation physics — the most rigorous building performance standard in the world. Few custom builders in Georgetown holds this credential.

The ATB Difference

Not All "High Performance" Is Equal

Many builders use the phrase. Few can back it up with certifications, awards, and a verifiable construction system.

Common Questions

FAQ — Building in Georgetown

Do you build custom homes in Georgetown?

Yes. We serve Georgetown and the broader Williamson County area. We build fully custom ICF and high-performance homes on your lot. Contact us to discuss your project and site.

What makes ATB different from other Georgetown custom home builders?

ATB is the only builder in the Austin area combining ICF construction, advanced energy performance standards, and Certified Passive House Builder credentials. We are also 2026 ICF Builder Award and People's Choice Award winners. No other Georgetown builder offers this combination.

How much does a high-performance custom home cost in Georgetown?

High-performance ICF custom homes in the Austin area typically range from $350–$600+ per square foot depending on finish level, site conditions, and complexity. While ICF construction carries a modest premium over conventional framing, the long-term savings in energy costs, insurance, and maintenance typically offset this within 7–12 years.

Does ATB do design-build or build on owner-provided plans?

We work both ways. We can refer you to architects we've worked with who understand high-performance detailing, or we can build from plans you provide. We also offer consulting services for owners and other builders who want our expertise on their projects.
