Precision Homes Joins Republic Grand Ranch as a Premier Builder

We are proud to welcome Precision Homes to the Republic Grand Ranch family! With over 60 years of experience, Precision Homes has built a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, reliability, and customer satisfaction across Texas. Established in 1960 by Henry Wieghat, Jr., the company was founded on the belief that landowners deserve the freedom to build the home they truly want – crafted with integrity, quality, and expert craftsmanship.

Henry’s journey began after serving in the military when he worked his way up from a clean-up man to a foreman for a prominent home builder in Houston. With hands-on expertise in everything from concrete work to final inspections, he launched Precision Homes to bring custom homeownership within reach for Texas families. His unwavering commitment to timeless design, high-quality materials, and personalized service built a legacy that still defines the company today.

At Precision Homes, the client always comes first. Whether you envision a modern, farmhouse, or classic design, their team works closely with you to bring your vision to life. They prioritize transparency throughout the homebuying and financing process, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience. Their approach balances quality and expert craftsmanship, creating homes designed to stand the test of time while fostering long-term relationships with homeowners.

With a foundation built on trust, integrity, and family values, Precision Homes continues to honor Henry’s mission: to deliver homes that offer the best value for your dollar while serving as a legacy for future generations.

Experience True Custom Homebuilding and Build with Confidence

At Design Tech Homes, we believe building your custom home should be an exciting and reassuring journey. Our comprehensive approach ensures you feel confident every step of the way.

Our Story
The Design Tech Homes story began over 25 years ago with a shared dream: to make a meaningful difference in the homebuilding industry. We envisioned a place where families could experience the true benefits of custom homebuilding, designed around their lifestyle and built with care.

From the start, we embraced technology as a tool to make the homebuilding process more efficient, precise, and cost-effective. Today, that vision comes to life with our VisionBuilt™ Home Design, which allows our clients to walk through their custom homes in stunning virtual reality before construction even begins. This game-changing approach ensures every detail feels just right, driving greater efficiency and reducing costly changes.

But at the heart of it all, our business has always been about people. By helping families create their forever homes, we become part of their story and build relationships that last long after the home is complete.

Helping a Hero
Our passion for homebuilding extends beyond our clients. It is also about giving back to those who serve our communities.

On April 21, 2025, we will proudly welcome the Parker Family into their new custom home. This project goes beyond construction. It is about fostering a sense of belonging and strengthening the community.

Thanks to Helping a Hero, Patten Properties, Republic Grand Ranch, and the many generous donors, this adaptable home is a true testament to love, support, and honor. From groundbreaking to framing and now the finishing touches, this journey has been fueled by the power of community.

Royal Texan Homes Revolutionizes Custom Home Building Through Innovation & Client-Centric Approach

Royal Texan Homes LLC has emerged as a transformative force in Texas’s custom home-building sector. Founded by Mark Garraty following his own frustrating experience as a custom home client, the company has revolutionized the building process through innovative design, superior construction science, and an unwavering commitment to client relationships.

“We’re not just building homes,” Garraty explains. “We’re reinventing how the entire process works.”

Royal Texan Homes has swiftly grown, completing over 50 unique homes each year and garnering widespread acclaim. In 2024, the company won four Texas Association of Builders (TAB) Star Awards and three Greater Houston Builders Association (GHBA) Prism Awards, including Designer of the Year and being recognized as one of the Top 3 Custom Home Builders in the Greater Houston Area, adding to its previous accolades. It was also recognized in 2024 with the Build Magazine Architecture Award for Custom Floor Plan Experts in Texas.

What sets Royal Texan Homes apart is their revolutionary project management approach. Royal Texan limits each manager to just five projects simultaneously. This intentional restriction ensures superior communication and attention to detail throughout the building process.

The company’s focus on both client and employee satisfaction is evident in its Great Place to Work survey score of 96%, reflecting a workplace that values its team and, by extension, produces superior homes. Their approach of integrating architectural excellence with meticulous project management has led to homes that surpass client expectations.

“While we haven’t invented something completely new like the internet or electric cars, we’ve proven that even in a long-established industry, there’s always room for significant improvement,” Garraty notes. “We’re showing that with determination and careful stewardship, you can transform an industry’s standard practices.”

As Royal Texan Homes continues to grow, they remain focused on their core mission: changing the residential construction industry in Texas through their integrated and passionate approach. Their success proves that by prioritizing quality, communication, and relationships, it’s possible to transform even the most traditional industries.

Come Visit Our Model Home!
We warmly invite you to visit our model home, where you can see firsthand the exceptional craftsmanship and care that goes into every Royal Texan Homes project. Our team is ready to walk you through our carefully designed spaces, share our process, and answer any questions you may have. Let us help you envision your custom home coming to life.

Advantages of Metal Outbuildings
When it comes to adding extra space to your property, metal outbuildings provide numerous benefits that make them a top choice for many homeowners. Here’s why:

• Durability: Metal outbuildings are built to last, withstanding the elements and requiring less maintenance than traditional wood structures.
• Energy Efficiency: Metal buildings can be insulated effectively, providing better energy efficiency compared to other materials.
• Versatility: These structures can serve various purposes, such as workshops, garages, storage spaces, or even barns, tailored to your specific needs.
• Quick Construction: Metal buildings generally have faster construction times, so you can begin using your space sooner.
• Low Maintenance: Unlike wood, which can deteriorate over time, metal outbuildings are resistant to pests, rot, and weather damage, requiring minimal upkeep.
