There's nothing quite like walking into a home that was designed around your life. Not a spec house with someone else's floor plan — a home where every room, every detail, and every finish was chosen by you. That's what Prize Oaks delivers as a trusted custom home builder in Central Texas.
Based in Moody, Texas, and led by owner Brent Preston, Prize Oaks has spent over 15 years helping families across the region build homes from the ground up. From the first sketch on paper to the final walkthrough, Brent is personally involved in every phase of construction — because building a custom home is too important to leave to someone you've never met.
Why Choose Prize Oaks for New Home Construction in Central Texas
When you hire a custom home builder in Waco TX or anywhere in the surrounding area, you're trusting that person with one of the biggest investments of your life. At Prize Oaks, we take that seriously. Here's what sets us apart:

Our Design-Build Process
Building a custom home should be exciting, not stressful. Our design-build process in Central Texas is structured to keep things moving smoothly while giving you full control over decisions that matter.
Free Consultation & Site Evaluation
Every project starts with a conversation. We sit down with you — in person or over the phone — to understand your goals, your budget, and how you want to live in your new home. If you already have land, we'll evaluate the lot for grading, utilities, and any site-specific considerations.
Custom Floor Plan & Design
Whether you're bringing your own architectural plans or starting from scratch, we work with you to develop a custom floor plan that fits your family. Open-concept living, oversized garages, energy-efficient layouts, dedicated home offices — every detail is on the table.
Detailed, Transparent Estimate
Before a single shovel hits the ground, you'll receive a fully itemized estimate. No hidden fees. No vague allowances. You'll know exactly what you're paying for and why. If the numbers need to shift, we talk about it openly.
Construction & Regular Updates
Once construction begins, you'll receive regular progress updates with photos and clear timelines. Have a question at 7 a.m. on a Tuesday? Call Brent directly. We believe constant communication is the foundation of a great building experience.
Final Walkthrough & Handover
Before you get the keys, we walk every inch of your new home together. We don't rush this step. Every detail gets inspected, every system gets demonstrated, and you don't sign off until you're completely satisfied.
What We Build
As a full-service custom home builder in Central Texas, Prize Oaks handles projects of all sizes and styles:
- Single-story ranch homes designed for easy, accessible living
- Two-story family homes with flexible floor plans that grow with you
- Barndominium and metal-frame construction for a modern, durable alternative
- Farmhouse and Hill Country-style homes that blend with the Central Texas landscape
- Energy-efficient construction featuring modern insulation, HVAC systems, and smart home integration
No matter the style, every Prize Oaks home is built with quality materials, trusted local subcontractors, and the kind of attention to detail that only comes from a builder who genuinely cares about the final product.
New Home Construction Across the Region
Prize Oaks is headquartered in Moody, TX, and proudly serves homeowners across a wide swath of Central Texas. We've completed new home construction in Moody TX, Waco, Temple, Killeen, Belton, Hewitt, Woodway, McGregor, Hillsboro, Gatesville, Lorena, Copperas Cove, and surrounding communities.
If you have land — or you're looking — we can help you evaluate properties and determine what's buildable. Our deep roots in the area mean we know the local permitting processes, soil conditions, utility easements, and HOA requirements that can trip up builders who aren't from here.
Built on Trust, Not Sales Pitches
Brent Preston didn't start Prize Oaks to become the biggest builder in Texas. He started it because he believes homeowners deserve a builder who shows up, communicates honestly, and delivers exactly what was promised. After 200+ projects and 15+ years, that philosophy hasn't changed.
We don't disappear mid-project. We don't surprise you with change orders. We don't cut corners where you can't see. What we do is build custom homes that families are proud to live in — and we'd love the chance to build yours.
