Thank you

Welcome to the Heart of Texas Builders Association 2014 Parade of Homes.

We have prepared a beautiful selection of new homes including the Showcase Home built by the first female president of the association, LuAnne Butler.

This year, the Heart of Texas Builders Association presents 13 homes plus the Showcase Home featuring the latest in design, finishes, amenities and energy efficiency.

The Heart of Texas area continues to offer exceptionally strong value for incoming businesses and residents. In Central Texas, the economy has held steady and remains highly resilient. We have been able to sustain positive growth through the consistent addition of new industry, employers and job opportunities. As a result, the Waco area has seen a steady rise in both new and existing home values.

While home prices have been steadily increasing in the Central Texas Area, interest rates are holding steady at historically low levels. Altogether, the availability of new homes, competitive pricing, cost savings technologies and financing options continue to make this one of the best times to buy a new home.

Our builders and craftsmen take great pride in their work. They are ultimately responsible for constructing the sense of community and it’s infrastructure. The Heart of Texas Builders Association contributes to endowed scholarships at McLennan Community College, Toys for Tots and important programs within the community that sustain vibrant neighborhoods, support economic development and cultural development.

Many thanks go out to our sponsors of the Parade of Homes, First National Bank of Central Texas and the Waco Tribune Herald for their support of the Parade.

Now take a few hours, or even a couple days to tour all the homes in the Parade. You’ll find builders and hosts in every home eager to show their beautiful designs and answer all your questions.

Sincerely,

Woody Butler, Vice President Heart of Texas Builders Association Chairman, 2014 Parade of Homes

Aussie Lane Construction first began business in 2009. The

Nick Lane

company is owned and operated by Nick Lane who was born in Australia where he began his building career at the age of 14 working on job sites during school holidays. After graduating from high school, Nick began working in the industry full time, acquiring his building apprenticeship. This process required working extended hours on-site for 4 years while Nick juggled the demands of being a full time student and a semi-professional rugby player. In 2002, at the age of 24, he moved to Texas and played a season of football with Stephen F. Austin University in Nacogdoches. After finding out that American football wasn’t the game for him he moved to Austin to renew his lifelong dream and begin building again. Since that time Nick has passionately overseen a variety of projects ranging from new home construction to home remodels and restorations throughout Texas, Aspen, CO, and Australia.

Aussie Lane Construction provides the highest quality of workmanship with respect and attention to each valued customer. From small bathroom remodels to custom homes, we strive to exceed our customer’s expectations. Although a relatively new company, all of Aussie Lane’s clients are talking about the exceptional customer service they receive, and the first class workmanship that goes into every project.
