One company, every step

From the first call to the sale or the rental, step by step.

The first call
20 minutes with Daniel. You tell him what you want to build and whether you plan to sell or rent. He tells you plainly what it takes.
Land and design
We check the lot you have, or the one you are looking at. Then we draw the project with you and show it to you in 3D.
The price
A written price, line by line, before you sign. The price on the signed contract holds through the build.
The financing
We help you get the financing for the project. Daniel explains how on a call.
Bank and accounting
New to doing business in Texas? We walk you through the steps here, such as opening a bank account and setting up your accounting.
Permits and the build
We pull the permits and Daniel runs the job as general contractor. Every week you get photos and a message on where the project stands. Sisu is insured, with builder's risk on every build.
Sale or rental
When the building is finished, we help you sell it or rent it. It comes with a written warranty: 1 year workmanship, 2 years systems, 6 years structural.

How a build runs, step by step

From Mexico, or from here

You do not have to be in the Valley while we build. Every week you get photos and a message from the job, and you can follow the project online from wherever you are.

Daniel Estrada, our founder, studied International Business at the Tecnológico de Monterrey and has run businesses in Mexico, in heavy machinery and building materials. He is the general contractor on every Sisu job.

Townhomes for one investor

A project Sisu runs today, told without the client's name or the place.

Sisu is the project manager for an investor who is building eight townhomes. We work with the investor on everything the project needs before the first pour, the construction loan included, and the project is in preparation.

Daniel Estrada will build it as general contractor, the same way Sisu built the townhomes in the photo.

Questions

What does it cost to build?

Our prices begin at $115 per square foot. Every project is different. You get a written price for your project, line by line, before you sign.

How long does it take?

For one home, design and permits take 1 to 2 months and construction takes 6 to 10 months, depending on its size. A project with several units has its own schedule. Daniel goes over it with you on a call.

Can you help me with a loan?

Yes. We help you get the financing for the project and prepare what the loan asks for. Daniel explains the options on a call.

I have never done business in Texas. Where do I start?

With a call. We walk you through what you need here, such as a bank account and an accountant. Legal and tax advice comes from your own attorney and accountant.

Do you tell me what the project will earn?

We give you the cost in writing and walk you through the schedule. With those two, you and your advisers run your numbers.

Where do you build?

In McAllen, Edinburg, Mission, Pharr, Weslaco, Harlingen and Brownsville.

I do not have land yet. Can I still call?

Yes. Our lot check is free: send us the lot you are looking at and we tell you what it takes to build on it. At Pecan Heights we also sell townhomes with the lot.
