About Lavaca Building Company
Austin-based residential contractors dedicated to quality, transparency, and craftsmanship in every home build or remodel.
PRECISION & PROFESSIONALISM
Founded in 2023, Lavaca Building Company was born from a collaboration between Doug Warriner, Phil Perry, and Joe Surita—seasoned professionals with decades of experience in Austin’s luxury residential market.
After years of constructing high-end custom homes, the trio saw a need for a contractor capable of delivering the same level of quality and service for smaller-scale projects. Lavaca was created to meet that need—combining the personal care of a small firm with the precision and professionalism of a large builder.
Our Mission & Vision
Our purpose is to deliver premium residential construction defined by integrity, craftsmanship, and seamless communication—creating homes of lasting value. We strive to be Central Texas’ most trusted luxury construction partner, known for uncompromising quality, exceptional results, and client relationships built on respect, transparency, and timeless design.
