"We had a clear idea of what we wanted for this project, and when I contacted Jose, the first impression was excellent which, as we know, makes all the difference. He listened carefully to our ideas and provided thoughtful feedback on what could be achieved. From our initial concept to the final result, the experience was outstanding. It truly felt as though the build was being done for his own home or a family member—every detail was handled with care. Communication was consistent and personal, with daily updates that kept us informed throughout the process. We’re extremely happy with the outcome. If we have any future projects at home, we already know who to call. Excellent work highly recommended!"

"We had Bordeaux Luxury Homes do a complete home remodel for us, inside and out. The results were outstanding. Our kitchen is the envy of many. The replaced the stone fireplace with a single piece of quartz that goes from floor to ceiling and installed a stainless steel mantel. It is beautiful. Installed pot lights in the kitchen, dining room, living room and bathrooms and now light is everywhere. The crown molding, with all the twists and turns, is impeccable. I could go on and on, and I believe you get the idea that these folks are true artists of home remodeling."

"James was amazing. I greatly appreciate his knowledge and expertise. I highly recommend Legacy Garage Door. James added 2 new HD torsion springs, 2 end bearing plates, and 10 new roller wheels all within an hour. He probably would have finished sooner but he was explaining what he was doing as I was watching him work."

"We had to redo our driveway, remove excess concrete and add curbs (thanks, City of Austin). Tam and the whole Platinum Construction team was incredibly friendly and responsive, which is rare in our contracting experience. They did a fabulous job and I would 100% hire them again."

Customers say: Quality work

"Over the years I have used many contractors and this is the BEST crew I ever worked with. This a family that works together . Johnny is the front man, 300 lbs. always smiling and always a can do attitude. Louis is the fun lead crewman that likes to talk and express his positive attitude. Abraham is the quite one behind the seen getting things done. The heart of the operation is "Pops" the father whos has taught his kids the right way to to treat people and the right way to do the job.. Pops doesn't speak much English but he doesn't have to. He set the standard of work he wants to see. After the first day, I knew I could leave my house and these guys alone. I have total trust in their integrity. They showed up when they said . Did the work quicker than they said. Gave me a discount because it was less work than they said.( ever had ANY contractor do that ?)and even invited me to lunch at the truck one day. Best of all, I got to know 4 good men I now call friends. You can't go wrong with these guys. Rob Tate"

"This project couldn’t have gone any better. The company owner contacted me and set up a time to come by. His employees arrived as promised and were very polite and efficient. They asked what I needed them to do and they went above and beyond. They completed the job in a timely manner, left the building being emptied clean and organized. The fee was very reasonable. I will call Junk Doctors first if I have any further need of hauling and cleanup. I would highly recommend Junk Doctors to anyone needing this kind of service."

"Hired these folks on April 27, 2018 to repair several leaks in the old roof of my commercial sized building that has my home and 5 apartments. They showed up on time, and did a thorough job, though they told me we needed to wait until the next rain to verify if everything was okay. When the rain came there were no more leaks, and the price for the job was very affordable. Would definitely hire again."

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in New Braunfels, TX

A bomb shelter is an abode built to withstand disaster. Bomb shelters may refer to a space or bunker that can protect inhabitants through a hypothetical nuclear attack, apocalypse, or any other massive crisis. People usually build bomb shelters underground and stock them to live there a few days to a month at a time. Doomsday bunkers accommodate long-term living rather than just through a short crisis.

Builders construct bomb shelters with reinforced steel, box culvert, concrete, or other durable materials (but many professionals do not recommend shipping containers, as they’re not designed to live underground. If building underground, you’ll first have to excavate land before building the actual structure. You’ll have to implement air and water filtration systems, septic systems, and power supply.

It takes a lot of experience to safely and legally construct a bomb shelter, not to mention make sure it’s fit to live in for extended periods of time. It’s best to talk to a residential structural engineer near you for proper guidance.

The current standard filtration systems require filtering both air and water. For air, you’ll want an NBC filter system, which both domestic and international producers make. NBC stands for Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical, which filters out all three. If you’re only building your shelter for natural disasters, chemical attacks, and biological attacks, you may opt for the less expensive HEPA filter system. 

Water filtration requires the same level of care. You’ll likely want to have a large water storage capacity to survive short-term disasters. For long-term living, you’ll want to have a water filtration system.

Rising S bunker prices depend on the size, ranging anywhere from $20,000 to $9 million. Their least expensive model is 96 square feet while their most expensive model has a gym, swimming pool, hot tub, and bowling alley.

  • Mini: $45,500

  • Standard Bomb Shelter: $67,500–$109,500

  • Silver Leaf: $140,000–$182,500

  • Admiral: $180,000–$500,000

  • Xtreme: $450,000–$780,000

  • Xtreme Bunker Complex: $840,000–$1,830,000

  • Luxury Series: $3,800,000–$9,600,000

You almost always need a permit to build a bunker on land with any type of public utilities running through it. You’ll want to check with your local building code enforcement agency to see if this is the case for your area. 

Because you’re building a structural component that often requires electricity, water, and sewage services, you’ll need to apply for permits to attach these utilities to your new property. However, off-grid-only units in rural areas may not need all or any of the permitting you’d normally find in more urban settings.

To survive a nuclear blast, you’ll need to have your bunker at least three feet underground. However, it’s usually advisable to put it further underground. To survive a close strike, you’ll want to have the bunker at least 10 feet down and with five-foot thick reinforced concrete. However, knowing exactly how deep to build depends on the size of the blast you’re trying to avoid. Most bunkers don’t need to be more than 5 feet below the ground.
