Single-family residences in The Woodlands and multifamily developments across Florida — built between global supply chains and local craft.
Start exploringAt UHUSA we source materials internationally and execute them locally. You benefit from premium materials at competitive prices — without the friction of a fragmented supply chain.
We don't just build homes — we craft experiences. For architects, designers, developers, and the people who will live inside.
How we work →Single-family residences. Custom architecture, ICF construction, hill-country light.
We operate where supply chains meet appetite for considered architecture — the wooded north of Houston and the coastal density of South Florida.
Every UHUSA project follows the same five movements — from the first site visit to the final commissioning report. Scroll to see how the counter advances.
We start in the room with you. Site visits, references, constraints, the kind of life you want the building to support. Output: a one-page brief signed by everyone.
Three options at schematic. One direction at design development. Construction documents in close dialogue with the engineers and the materials we have already sourced.
Italian stone, German fenestration, Brazilian hardwood, Texas brick. We negotiate directly with mills and quarries, then handle import, inspection, and on-site staging.
ICF foundations, steel where the loads demand it, framing tolerances tighter than code. Weekly site walks. Daily photo logs. A single point of contact on every phase.
Commissioning, owner walkthrough, a year of attentive aftercare. We don't disappear when the lockbox comes off the door.
The supply chain is part of the design. We name every material on the spec sheet, source it from where it is best made, and inspect it before it ever gets to site.
Download full specification sheet (PDF, 2.4 MB) →Insulated concrete forms. Continuous thermal envelope, hurricane and seismic resistant, R-23 minimum.
Cararra, Calacatta, Travertine. Quarried, slabbed, and book-matched before crossing the Atlantic.
Triple-glazed lift-and-slide systems. Argon-filled, warm-edge spacer, hidden frames.
Ipe and Cumaru for decks and rainscreens. FSC certified. Kiln-dried, end-sealed, finger-jointed.
Hand-fired terracotta and porcelain. Custom dimensions to the millimetre, glazes mixed on order.
Lioz limestone for facades and ground floors. Honed or flamed, sealed against South Florida humidity.
Lutron, Control4, Savant. Lighting, audio, climate, security on a single low-voltage backbone.
Variable refrigerant flow, energy recovery ventilation, in-floor radiant where the climate rewards it.
UHUSA is intentionally small. The same four people you meet at the first walk-through are the four people on site the week of handover.
Twenty years in custom residential. Houston native. The contact on every project.
Milan Polytechnic, formerly at SOM Florence. Joins every project at schematic.
Negotiates with the mills, books the freighters, signs the QC reports.
On site three days a week. Owns the weekly photo log.
We do not employ a publicist. The work travels on its own.
The most disciplined ICF detailing we have seen in single-family work in a decade.
