Home Building in Austin Texas is looking Up
The Texas construction industry has taken a big hit in recent years, but 2013 is showing some promise. According to a survey conducted by the Associated General Contractors of America, investment in construction rose approximately 7% in 2012, mostly encouraged by the private sector. Some construction firms (approximately 20%) across the United States are planning to add staff to their businesses throughout 2013.
Home Building and Construction in Austin Texas is looking Up
Even so, the news is cautious, as the majority of those new employers are planning to add fewer than 15 new staff members, while 13% are planning to add 25 or more. In 2013, 9% of firms surveyed are still bracing for more layoffs.
The bottom line is that while major construction jobs in public building construction and manufacturing continues to remain low, the number of projects that have been delayed or canceled due to the economy actually decreased in 2012. Private investors and first-time homebuyers taking advantage of lower property values, or who have purchased homes in the last couple of years, are now looking toward renovating, updating, and expanding square footage.
While the home construction market may not fully recover until 2015 or 2016, the year 2013 is certainly shaping up to be better than the past couple of years. That’s good news not only for homeowners, but for privately owned construction companies like Dearth Design and Construction, a privately owned Texas construction company with offices in Austin, South Austin and Bastrop.
“Dearth Design and Construction is a full-service custom home design, building and remodeling firm serving greater Austin and Texas Hill Country,” states Todd Dearth, owner of the company. “We specialize in functional design and construction management, whether you’re looking to add a room, custom design a home, or renovate.”

Austin Home Remodeling Returns a Faster Higher Sales Price
Austin Home Remodeling Return on Investment
Let’s face it: every Austin Home listing has its flaws. Rooms that show poorly, awkward transition areas, troublesome flow, disappointing curb appeal. Austin Texas Home Remodeling
Some design flaws, such as legacy appliances and dated carpeting, are easily addressed at closing without affecting the home’s selling price.
But major design flaws and structural “uglies”? Left unaddressed, they turn off buyers, extend DOM, erode the home’s market value and cost you income as the listing agent.
We at Dearth Design Construction have a better approach: Let’s eliminate those major design flaws now, before they beat up your commission. The result: a higher sales price for you and your clients.
NBC “Today Show” real estate expert Barbara Corcoran recently reminded homeowners of the significant return on investment (ROI) for home updates. A sampling, based on national averages:
New deck: cost $700; ROI $3,000
Fireplace addition: cost $1,000; ROI $3,000
Main floor laundry room: cost $1,200; ROI $4,000
Portion off garage: cost $1,500; ROI $5,000
Neutralize a kitchen: $2 return for every $1 spent.
Yes, we build beautiful custom homes. But we also specialize in strategic, budget-driven Austin Home remodels and additions that sell homes faster for more money.
We are so certain that you will realize a greater return on your time invested in troublesome listings that, for a limited time, we are offering a complimentary personal on site consultation with visionary designer/builder Todd Dearth.
Go ahead – hit us with your problem property. We’ll show you how our design and remodeling expertise can be the best resource you add to your tool kit this year.
Contact custom home remodeling Dearth Design today to schedule your free, no-obligation consultation on the listless listing of your choice.

Bastrop Fire losses exceed $250 million
Bastrop Texas — The cause of a massive central Texas wildfire that killed two people and destroyed more than 1,500 homes was most likely electrical, fire officials said Tuesday.
The Texas Forest Service did not elaborate on the cause in a release announcing the end of the investigation into the wildfire that began Labor Day weekend and burned out of control for several days, ultimately blackening more than 50 square miles. Forest Service officials didn’t immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
The massive blaze forced thousands of residents to flee their homes for days in Bastrop County, about 25 miles east of Austin.
Texas is in the midst of one of its worst wildfire outbreaks in state history. A perilous mix of hot temperatures, strong winds and a historic drought spawned the Bastrop-area fire, the largest of the nearly 190 wildfires the forest service says erupted in early September.
Two other people died in an East Texas fire earlier this month, and more than 1,700 homes were destroyed across the state.
The Bastrop blaze was the most destructive in state history, and the Insurance Council of Texas estimates losses from the wildfire outbreak that started over Labor Day will reach $250 million.
