What Josephine is like to build in
FM 1777 runs south to Royse City and FM 6 crosses it in town. It counted 2,119 people in the 2020 census and has grown many times over since, and farmland on every side is turning into subdivisions.
Permits
City of Josephine. The city sits mostly in Collin County with a piece in Hunt County, so which county handles septic outside the limits depends on the lot.
The ground
Blackland clay. The same ground as Royse City, with heavy seasonal movement.
The drive
About 10 minutes from Royse City. Distance is not what decides whether we take a job. Size is.

Is this a fit
We're probably not your builder if
- You need a repair or a service call.
- You're looking at a shed, a carport, or a kit.
- You want the steel dropped and nothing else.
We're a fit if
- You're building 1,500 SF or more of finished commercial or industrial space.
- You're building a 2,000 SF or larger home on your land.
- You want one contractor from slab to final finish.
