Streamline your build. Realize your vision.
A Better Home Building Experience
Building a home is more than an investment—it’s where life happens. We know the excitement and challenges that come with the process, which is why we’ve refined our approach to make it as streamlined as possible. A successful build starts with smart planning.
Our pre-construction process minimizes surprises, sets clear cost expectations, and defines a comprehensive scope of work—ensuring a smooth, stress-free experience from start to finish.

The Team
Streamline Custom Builders was founded in 2024 by Mike and Chase Smith, a father-son duo driven by a shared vision to create a homebuilding process that streamlines the build experience for homeowners, giving them greater visibility, flexibility, and satisfaction.
Together they are dedicated to making the home building experience a truly collaborative and enjoyable experience

Mike's love for building began in his backyard, crafting multi-story treehouses with his middle school friends. This early interest deepened as he worked alongside his father and uncle in the family construction business, after earning a Bachelor’s degree in Civil and Construction Engineering.
For 25 years, Mike specialized in commercial construction, managing large-scale tech fabrication projects worldwide. In 2018, he transitioned to custom home building, joining Arbogast Homes to pursue a more personal and creative endeavor. There, he led luxury residential projects in prestigious communities such as Spanish Oaks, The Reserve on Lake Travis, and The Peninsula at Rough Hollow.
Mikes believes commitment to quality, transparency, and strong client relationships is the foundation on which every project must be based.
Outside of work, Mike enjoys mountain biking and spending time boating on Lake Austin with his family.

Chase is an integral part of the Streamline Custom Builders team and holds a Bachelor's degree in Construction Management. Since launching his career in 2017, he has applied his technical expertise and passion for efficiency in architectural design and construction to thoughtfully bring each homeowner's vision to life.
Before relocating to the Texas Hill Country in 2022, Chase spent three years managing the construction of high-end custom homes in Park City, Utah. This experience honed his ability to build luxury homes that harmonize with unique natural landscapes. His dedication to quality, precision, and collaboration ensures every project is a seamless and rewarding experience.
Beyond his career, Chase enjoys mountain biking, wakeboarding, and fishing with his 2-year-old son.
