Custom Homes and Home Remodeling in Krum, TX

Consider lot readiness before fixing the floor plan. Zoning, platting, access and utility arrangements can influence where a home fits and what must be resolved before construction. Bring the survey, plans and your priorities for room relationships, storage and outdoor space.

For an occupied-home remodel, think through the sequence as well as the finished rooms. Cooking, bathing, access and storage may need temporary arrangements. Discuss connected structural and building-system work when comparing layout and finish options.

An addition should improve circulation between existing and new rooms. Review the footprint, roof connection, foundation and drainage along with the demands on heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical systems. Identify the spaces and yard features that should remain.

Clarify whether the goal is extra space within the existing home or an additional dwelling. Describe the kitchen, bathroom, entry and intended occupancy, then confirm the permitted use for the address. Available land or an existing outbuilding does not establish eligibility.

Compare a garage conversion with an addition using the space each creates and the work each requires. Check dimensions, slab and ceiling conditions, insulation and heating and cooling. Account for parking, equipment and storage that must move.

Confirm whether the parcel is in Krum, an ETJ or an unincorporated area; the mailing address is not proof of jurisdiction. Contact Development Services before construction to determine zoning, platting, plan-review and permit requirements for the intended scope. Those are related reviews, not an identical checklist for every project. Outside city limits, ask about the respective city and county responsibilities and any Denton County development, access, floodplain or septic requirements.

Planning information reviewed October 9, 2026. Confirm current requirements with the responsible authority for your property and scope before construction.

Do I need finished plans before contacting Telion?

No. Start with the address, photos, your main goals and a realistic budget range. Share plans if you already have them.

Can an addition connect to my current kitchen or living room?

That can be explored. Existing structure, roof connections, available lot area and building requirements influence what is practical.

Is a detached building automatically approved for living space?

No. A storage or accessory structure and a dwelling can have different requirements. Confirm the intended use and address-specific approvals before planning an ADU or conversion.
