About Wayford

Homes built the way they should be. The way they used to be.

We build homes you'll want to keep.

Wayford started in 2012, in a garage in East Austin, with one architect, one builder, and one conviction: the gap between a production-builder spec home and a custom-architect masterpiece shouldn't be five hundred thousand dollars and eighteen months of your life.

So we wrote down every good decision we'd ever made on a project — structural, spatial, material — and we turned them into eight floor plans. Then we wrote down every good interior decision and turned those into three style packages. Every plan works with every style. Every style has been field-tested.

The result is a home that feels like yours, on your land, at a price you can plan around. We've delivered three hundred and forty of them, and counting.

What we believe

Four promises we actually keep.

01
Fixed price, real
We quote after drawings are signed, and we hold that number. No cost-plus. No "allowances" that balloon at month eight.
02
Build-ready plans
Every plan has been built. Every plan has been permitted. Every plan has real construction drawings, not marketing renders.
03
One point of contact
You get a named project manager on day one. They text you. They pick up. They know your name and your dog's name.
04
Honest materials
Solid wood, real stone, clay brick. We don't do flip-house vinyl — and we'll explain why when you ask.
