Ferguson ATX Exterior Renovation

The Ferguson ATX Exterior Renovation at 2209 B Rutland Drive Suite 100 in Austin is complete. Construction finished in March 2026, following a final TDLR accessibility inspection that confirmed the project met all required standards. The renovation covered 1,000 square feet of exterior work, with an estimated cost of $200,000. This places the project below the median estimated cost for similar renovation and alteration filings in Travis County, which stands at $298,117.

The scope of work included the renovation of the front entry walk, canopy, and storefront, along with a rear deck addition. The building exterior was also repainted as part of the project. First Metric LTD is the owner of record, while Framework Architects served as the design firm. Robert Ronson was the registered accessibility specialist for the project.

Construction began in October 2025, with a scheduled build window of 128 days. This duration is longer than the county median of 98 days for similar projects. The cost per square foot was $200, which is above the county median of $103 for renovation and alteration work in Travis County. The project was privately funded on private land for private use.

Framework Architects has been involved in six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $2,850,000, including work in Hutto, Horseshoe Bay, and Houston. First Metric LTD has two other registered projects in Austin, SubZero TLK-Ferguson and Ferguson ATX Showroom, both of which are closed. These projects indicate a pattern of commercial development activity by the owner in the region.

The building is located in ZIP code 78758, where the U.S. Census estimates the population at about 50,592. The median household income in this area is $69,019, and the median owner-occupied home value is $419,300. Housing in this ZIP code is predominantly renter-occupied. The Travis County unemployment rate was 3.9 percent in July 2026, according to FRED data.
