Custom Home Building in Sherman, TX

Building custom in a booming market

Few North Texas cities are changing as quickly as Sherman. With Texas Instruments investing tens of billions in its Sherman wafer-fab mega-site and thousands of jobs following, land along US-75 and the city's south and west edges is drawing buyers from across the metroplex and beyond. If you've bought a lot or a few acres in Grayson County, a custom home lets you build for the way you actually live instead of settling for a production floor plan.

A true design-build process

We handle design and construction under one roof, so the home that gets drawn is the home that gets built — on budget, without the finger-pointing that happens when the architect and builder are separate companies. We work from your lot's orientation, your must-haves, and Sherman's climate (long, hot summers and the occasional hard freeze) to design something durable and efficient.

Common custom projects around Sherman:

• Acreage homes on tracts outside the city core, where buyers want space the newer TI-area subdivisions can't offer.
• Infill homes on lots in and near established in-town neighborhoods.
• Modern-traditional and farmhouse builds that suit the Grayson County landscape.

Permitting a new build in Sherman

A ground-up home is the most involved permit you'll pull in the city. Plans go to the Development Services / Building Division (317 S. Travis St) through the Self Service Portal — the Tyler EnerGov system Sherman launched in March 2025 — and the review has a rhythm worth planning around: it doesn't begin until all fees are paid, then runs roughly 15 working days depending on workload, and any resubmittal restarts that 15-business-day clock. On a full custom set of plans, a preventable resubmittal can push your schedule out by weeks, which is exactly why we submit complete, coordinated documents the first time.

The permit has to be pulled by the owner or a contractor registered with the City of Sherman. We're an Allen-based design-build firm serving Sherman near the northern edge of our US-75 footprint — no Grayson County office — but we register with the city and manage the entire permit and inspection process for you.

Insured, bonded, and accountable

Building a home is the biggest project most people ever commission, so it matters who's standing behind it. We're insured and bonded, we carry the schedule from foundation to final walkthrough, and we bring in state-licensed electricians, plumbers, and HVAC installers for the trade work. For city-specific questions, Sherman's building office is at 903-892-7229 — and we're glad to review your lot and talk feasibility before you commit.
