A Local Custom Home Builder Just Down US-80 From Forney
1802 Build Co. is a family-owned custom builder based in Terrell, about 11 miles east of Forney on US-80. We have been building across Kaufman County since 2017, first as P18:2 BarnDominiums, then as Eighteen Two Group, and today as 1802 Build Co.
Forney, the Antique Capital of Texas, sits roughly 20 miles east of downtown Dallas and a few miles southeast of Lake Ray Hubbard. As the subdivisions fill in, more families are looking at acreage on the edges of town. We are not a volume builder with a catalog of plans: you work directly with Keith and Stephanie, design the house around your family and your land, and follow every step in our 24/7 client portal.

Custom Home Builder in Forney, TX
Many Forney buyers start with a few acres outside the subdivisions or a family property they want to finally build on. We design a home around that land, its views and the way your family wants to live, then handle the site work and construction from start to finish, so the home fits the property instead of a lot template.

- Building on acreage outside the subdivisions
- Site evaluation before design
- One builder from design to keys

Many Forney buyers are leaving subdivisions for acreage, and the choice usually depends on space. A barndominium gives you a shop, wide open living areas and room for trucks and trailers.
