The people behind the house

One builder, one office, and a wife who answers the phone.

John Schedcik holding plans at a home under construction — John Schedcik, owner and founder

John learned the trade from his grandfather, a carpenter and glass maker, then studied Industrial Technology and Computer Drafting at North Texas State. In 1992 he finished his first home. Projects for friends turned into a business that has built across Wise and the surrounding counties ever since.

Brandi has run the administrative side since the beginning, which is why a call to this office reaches someone who knows your job by name. No call center, no account manager, no handoff.

"After 32 years and countless homes, John still aims for each one to be unique and perfectly fitted for the customer."From their own story

The work

Built for this land. Finished for the way you live.

Stone, timber and glass in the right proportions. Rooms that hold a Texas afternoon without turning into an oven.

Kitchen with dark cabinetry, island seating and pendant lighting — Kitchen, open to the room that gets used

Living room with vaulted ceiling, timber beams and tall windows — Living, with the height put where it counts

Primary bath with freestanding tub and marble wall — Primary bath, the quiet end of the house

Finished home at dusk with warm interior light

The house, moving

Evening on a finished home.

Warm light inside and a Texas sky behind it.

Inside, open to the room that gets used.

Vaulted ceilings, timber and glass where the light lands.

Built once, standing straight.

More than thirty years of the same approach, a few miles from the office.

What you cannot see

The part of the house nobody photographs.

Anyone can show you a pretty elevation. This is the list that decides whether the house is still square in twenty years, and it is standard, not an upgrade.

01Fully engineered post-tension slab with piers, stamped by the engineer before a yard of concrete is poured

02A Texas Certified Inspector on the job three times: pre-pour, mechanical and final

03Ten year structure and slab warranty on contracts signed after July 2018

04Walls and ceilings framed sixteen inches on center, not just the walls

People who have already built with him.

"John provided a competitive bid and was completely transparent about costs. We were fortunate to come in under budget in most areas."

"As first timers, we needed a trustworthy builder to handle such a huge investment and project. We got exactly that."

"From start to finish, they treated our project with such care, professionalism, and attention to detail."
