The House that WFISD Built

This is the Wichita Falls Independent School District’s biggest, most expensive and exciting student-fueled project ever The Career Education Center’s biggest, most expensive project ever is sitting on its back lot – a 700-square-foot, 1 bedroom, 1 bath home with front porch, living area, kitchen, dining area and laundry. The home is equipped with a tankless water heater and energy-efficient heating and cooling for possible off-the-grid living as a lake or hunting lease house or mother-in-law cottage.

The home is a first of its kind. It is the first home built entirely by the Wichita Falls Independent School District construction students. But it Top:TJunior Donovan Williams puts the finishing touches on his winning also represents an exciting collaboration with other design for the Career Education Center’s first-ever home-build.

WFISD students. Its architecture students designed it, its plumbing students plumbed it, its electrical students wired it up, and its marketing students will market its sale to the community. The project is the brainchild of teacher Scott Little, who envisioned such a project that would involve the collaboration of Career Education Center students across many disciplines.

The project began with a contest among architecture students under With plans designed and finalized in the 2017-2018 school year, construction the direction of architecture teacher Amy Hughes during the 2017-2018 school students took the designs late in the spring year, the CEC’s inaugural year.

Later, like a typical client, he changed the parameters slightly, asking for a more traditional look to appeal to more buyers.

Students’ designs were narrowed down to three; finally, junior Donovan Williams’ design was selected in early spring 2018. He was one of four architecture students who used his class design as a project submission to the Skills USA competition, which qualified him for state competition.

The CEC House Project received generous funding from the North Texas Home Builders Association – a $4,200 donation in 2018 and another $5,760 in 2019.

In the 2018-2019 school year, construction students framed the home, roofed it, installed external cladding, HVAC systems and insulation. Under the direction of teacher and master plumber Danny Cozby, plumbing students plumbed the house. Under the direction of teacher and master electrician Chris Wilbur, electrical technology students wired it up.

Harmon & Holcomb Homes Harmon & Holcomb Homes is more than just a homebuilder. We are a family owned business blazing new trails in design, personalization and possibilities so we can build homes that reflect the unique people who live in them. The result is a homebuilding experience that is more personal, more collaborative, and more empowering than our homebuyers ever could have imagined. One that constantly pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in homebuilding.

From the sale of our first home in 2005 to being named President of the North Texas Homebuilders in 2015-16 and Best Overall Home in the Parade of Homes in 2017 Harmon & Holcomb Homes is a builder positioned for the future. With the management and construction expertise required of next generation builders, we deliver what savvy homebuyers seek in a new home: high design, high quality and a high level of personalization throughout the North Texas area. With Harmon & Holcomb Homes, you’re partnering with more than just a homebuilder—you’re partnering with a family owned company whose main goal is to help you create your perfect home from blue print all the way to paint colors.

Testimonial: The Braggs – Kovarik Rd “After three years of going to the Parade of Homes and talking to almost every builder in the area, my wife and I chose Harmon and Holcomb Homes for the largest and most important financial decision of our lives. They took on our dreams of building a house on some acreage, and we could not be any happier with our decision. Like most couples, we really did not know where or how to start the home-building process. Harmon and Holcomb made the procedure, from beginning to end, a pleasant experience. They were more than willing to do anything they could to keep us within budget. A beautiful home was constructed for our family by Harmon and Holcomb Homes, with very minimal delays or problems, and UNDER budget without compromising the structure or the finer things found in most new homes today. They were there throughout the entire process, and they were always a short phone call away for any questions that came up. We have been living in our dream home for four months now and would not change a single thing about our house. We absolutely LOVE it!!! We would highly recommend Harmon and Holcomb Homes without hesitation for your next dream home. We were asked by some friends of ours: if we had to, would we ever build again? Our answer was “YES!” and we would hire the team of Harmon and Holcomb to do it all over again.”

Cornerstone Custom Homes I began my real estate career in 2007 working with several investors. I oversaw numerous remodeling projects, which involved home restoration, customer service and assisted all investors in the building of their portfolios.

In 2011, while working for DISH Network and several investors, I was severely injured in an accident, which rendered me paralyzed until surgery was performed.

Following surgery, I was unable to return to my former position with DISH Network. After many prayers, rehab and God’s blessings, I was redirected and offered a position to provide services for a renowned builder in Wichita Falls.

After a little over a year, my family and I felt God leading us in a new direction. In 2012, I was blessed with the opportunity to fulfill my dream by starting my own new construction business. I strive to provide clients customer service along the way and truly care about the needs and desires of my clients. Since 2012, I have built and sold 23 custom homes.

I am a member of The North Texas Home Builders Association. I previously served with The North Texas Home Builders Association for the Parade of Homes and Special Events Committee in 2016 and the membership, meetings and education committees in 2017.

I have been with my beautiful wife for 16 years. She has also been in the real estate business for over 18 years. I am proud to say that she is a high producing Realtor and we work very well together as a team. Over many years we have enjoyed flipping, and remodeling several homes. I am a proud father of two beautiful girls, Savanah has recently joined the Real Estate industry working with American National Title of Texas, and Tatum attends Christ Academy with many talents including, volleyball, golf, piano, and singing. My family and I have been members of Evangel Temple Church for 11 years where we have greatly enjoyed serving our community through outreach ministries.

Keeter Custom Homes I began Keeter Custom Homes with the desire to follow in my families footsteps of improving and building new neighborhoods. From a young age I watched as my grandfather built a reputation as a trusted man in the real estate industry. Some of my earliest and best kept memories are of my mother and how she managed the customer service and business side of real estate. That early insight gave me a perspective of just how important the building process is to the homeowner. With knowledge and experience anyone can build a home, but it takes a special kind of person to build a dream come true.

I began small but always dreamt big. I purchased my first investment property in 2006 while still a full time student at Midwestern State University. From there, I took all I had learned from my family and implemented those same values and experience into my own business by designing custom remodels and developing an investment portfolio. That has always and will continue to be my approach with Keeter Custom Homes. I educate my clients on the process and how it can benefit them long term. There are some tough conversations to be had at times but anything worth building right requires transparency and communication.

I have been building custom homes and designing custom remodels since then and create a personal bond with each one of my clients from step one. Choosing a location, a building plan, and a budget are all part of the education process that I take great pride in. One of the things that I enjoy the most is walking homeowners through each step of the process and educating them on what we do, why we do it, and what makes us stand out from the rest. Part of which is making our homes as energy efficient as possible which provides for short and long term savings for our homeowners.

We are a family business. I have been married since 2012 and have two beautiful daughters that enjoy going to each job site to learn and be a part of the process. I love to share with them and make the same memories I once did with my family that gave me the passion to make dreams come true through real estate. I work closely on every project with my Construction Foreman, Ricardo Sandoval, who shares the same vision and passion for Keeter Custom Homes as I do. In working together we believe we can help homeowners make their dreams a reality. “I don’t build homes, I build dreams come true.�

Habitat For Humanity Thanks to the North Texas Home Builders Association (NTHB) for their support for Habitat for Humanity Wichita Falls. Local low-income families in need of affordable housing have benefited greatly from the 19 year partnership between NTHB and Habitat though the Parade of Homes fundraiser and support from our community. Habitat has helped over 120 families in Wichita Falls to afford their own home.

The state of affordable housing in Texas is currently one in eight households (12.5%) spend more than half of their income on housing. At Habitat for Humanity, we know this problem is only getting worse. The rising costs of construction has caused nearly one-third of households in the United States to either be cost burdened (30 percent of income spent on housing) or severely cost burdened (50 percent of their total income spent on housing). As housing prices have increased over the past decade, wages have remained stagnant. As a result, the rate of homeownership has decreased even as the total number of households has risen. The Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies has suggested that the increase of house prices has directly caused an increase in rental households. The housing cost burden in the United States, leaves low-income families with very little income to afford the cost of food, health care, transportation and other basic necessities.

On average, an extremely low-income family only has $490 a month to spend on all of their other expenses, after paying for their housing. And over seventy percent of the extremely low-income families spend more than half of their income on housing.

Just in Texas, it is estimated that there is a shortage of over 600,000 affordable houses for low-income families. Despite all of the work that has been done, the need for affordable housing is still great. Habitat for Humanity must continue to advocate for affordable housing for both homeowners and renters. Now it is more important than ever that we speak out for these families in need.

Habitat makes home affordability a reality for families and breaks the chains of poverty housing.

Join Habitat and help us make housing available for our low-income Wichita Falls neighbors in need of affordable housing. Donations can be sent to Habitat for Humanity 1206 Lamar Street; Wichita Falls, TX 76301.

Understanding 2-10 Warranties When building a new home most qualified builders offer what is called a 2-10 warranty to the buyer. Here is information that may help you understand a 2-10 warranty.

Although it is called a 2-10 warranty it’s more defined as a 1, 2 and 10-year combined warranty which includes coverage for one year on workmanship and materials, coverage for two years on the delivery portion of systems (electrical, plumbing, and heating & A/C), and coverage for 10 years on major structural defects.

Under this combined warranty, the one-year portion backs the builder’s obligation to the buyer for workmanship and materials. Under the one-year warranty provision, the warranty will cover workmanship and material defects in the event the builder is unable to do so.

The two-year warranty backs the builder’s obligation to the buyer for the delivery portion of systems (water supply system, septic tank system, plumbing, electrical, and heating & A/C).

Under the two-year warranty provision, the warranty will cover the delivery portion of systems in the event the builder is unable to do so.

A 10-year major structural defect warranty covers qualified load bearing components.

Such as, foundation systems and footings, load-bearing beams and girders, lintels, roofing rafters and trusses, flooring joists and trusses, load bearing walls and load bearing columns to name a few.

The 10-year structural warranty begins on the day of closing and lasts for 10 years.

Remember not all warranties are created equal so make sure you ask an expert and understand the warranty you purchase for your new home.

42

Although this information is deemed reliable, please confirm accuracy with a 2-10 home warranty professional.
