Project Summary
French Château Estate · Katy, TX
A 7,500-square-foot French country château built in Katy on a one-acre lot inside a Cinco Ranch-adjacent master plan. The clients wanted a true château silhouette — steep mansard roof, arched entry, dormers, and cast-stone surrounds — combined with a livable open-plan interior. The build included a primary wing with sitting room and dual closets, a paneled study, formal dining and informal kitchen-family great room, a butler’s pantry, four upstairs suites, a media room with bar, a porte-cochère, and an oversized four-car garage. Saadi Construction Group managed the full design-build scope including ARC submittal and revisions, Fort Bend County permit, structural and civil engineering, MUD coordination, and full construction through closeout.

Materials & Finishes
Full-bed Texas limestone exterior with hand-carved cast-stone window surrounds, slate-look composite tile mansard roof with copper detailing, mahogany arched entry doors with custom ironwork, aluminum-clad wood windows in true divided-light pattern, wide-plank French oak flooring throughout main level, hand-troweled plaster wall finishes in formal areas, marble primary bath with custom millwork, hand-glazed inset cabinetry in painted and stained finishes, antique reclaimed terra-cotta accents in the kitchen, professional-grade range and integrated refrigeration.
Construction Timeline
Approximately 16 months on site from foundation pour to certificate of occupancy, preceded by approximately 7 months of preconstruction (schematic and design development, ARC submittal with two revision cycles, structural and civil engineering, MUD utility coordination, Fort Bend County permit, and long-lead material procurement for the slate-look roof, cast-stone, and reclaimed terra-cotta). Total project duration from contract signature to move-in was approximately 23 months.
Site & Design Notes
One-acre Cinco Ranch-adjacent Katy lot inside an active ARC master plan with rigorous elevation, masonry percentage, and roof-pitch review. Geotech recommended a stiffened post-tensioned slab for the highly plastic Beaumont clay soils typical of Katy. MUD water and wastewater hookups handled through the community district. Long-lead material procurement (slate-look roof tile, hand-carved cast-stone, reclaimed terra-cotta) was sequenced during permitting so the schedule did not stall at framing.
