June 17th, 2025 by admin
At Owner Builder Network, we've been helping people build their dream homes since 1997. Our mission has always been to empower homeowners to take control of their custom home building projects, ensuring they get exactly what they want while staying within budget. Today, we're excited to share some inspiring success stories from our clients who have turned their homeownership dreams into reality.
The Haupers Family: A Perfect Blend of Functionality and Beauty
Bruce and Deanna Haupers of Waxahachie embarked on a journey to create their forever home, and the results are truly spectacular. Their story is a testament to the power of personalized design and thoughtful planning.
Deanna, an avid quilter, was able to design her dream quilting room complete with a fabric storage closet. This dedicated space allows her to pursue her passion in a beautifully organized environment. The kitchen and living room areas showcase the benefits of open-concept design, creating a spacious and inviting atmosphere that seamlessly connects with the outdoors through strategically placed windows.
Bruce took charge of the site work and foundation planning, ensuring their new home perfectly complemented their stunning piece of land. The Haupers expressed their satisfaction with the subcontractors we recommended, highlighting the smooth collaboration throughout the building process.
We're incredibly proud to have played a part in helping the Haupers create a home that truly reflects their lifestyle and preferences. Their success story exemplifies how Owner Builder Network empowers homeowners to bring their unique visions to life.
The Medina Family: A Showcase of Beautiful Features
The Medina family in Lancaster is another shining example of what can be achieved when homeowners take the reins of their building project. Their new home is a stunning display of thoughtful design and attention to detail.
From the meticulously crafted kitchen to the warm and inviting fireplace in the living room, every aspect of the Medina home exudes comfort and style. One standout feature is their outdoor kitchen on the patio, perfect for entertaining and enjoying the Texas weather.
The Medinas shared with us how much they enjoyed the building process and their delight with the final result. Their home is now a place where they'll create lifetime memories, tailored exactly to their tastes and needs.
The Price Family: Lakeside Living at Its Finest
Bill and Kathy Price recently completed their dream home on the shores of Lake Tawakoni, and it's nothing short of breathtaking. Their project showcases how Owner Builder Network can help create a custom home that's both beautiful and efficient.
The Prices incorporated numerous unique touches throughout their home. The tongue-and-groove porch and patio ceilings add a touch of rustic elegance, while carefully selected lighting fixtures and hand-scraped wood floors contribute to the home's distinctive character.
Energy efficiency was a priority for the Price family. They opted for a foamed insulation envelope system and high-efficiency windows, ensuring their lakeside retreat remains comfortable year-round while minimizing energy costs.
One of the most impressive aspects of the Price family's journey was their quick build time - just seven months from start to finish! By acting as their own builders, they were able to save significantly on builder fees, upgrade charges, and change order fees. These savings translated directly into added home equity and the freedom to upgrade various elements of their home without incurring additional markup costs.
