Tips for Building in Waco
Here are a few things to keep in mind when starting your prefab project in Waco:
- Plan for Permits: Waco and McLennan County have specific regulations for ADUs and backyard builds. We can help walk you through what’s required for your address.
- Think About Utilities: Will your structure need water, electric, or sewer tie-ins? If so, turnkey might be your best option.
