Why Sherman Homeowners Choose Bradshaw Builders for Custom Homes
Bradshaw Builders has been building custom homes in Sherman, TX and the Texoma area for over 40 years. Whether you're building on your own land or a lot in a new development, our team handles every detail — from initial design and permitting through construction and final walkthrough. Sherman is home base for Bradshaw Builders — we've been building and remodeling here since 1985. As the Grayson County seat and the largest city in the Texoma region, Sherman offers a mix of established neighborhoods near downtown, newer subdivisions along the US-75 corridor, and open acreage on the outskirts of town.
Many of our clients come to us with land they already own — whether it's a rural property outside Sherman, a lot in Ector, or acreage near Bonham. Building on your own land comes with unique considerations: soil testing, well water systems, septic installation, long driveways, and county permitting requirements that differ from city builds. Building in Sherman means working with Grayson County's black clay soil, which expands and contracts with seasonal moisture changes — proper foundation engineering is non-negotiable here. Inside city limits, you'll go through Sherman's permitting and inspection process, but plenty of buildable land sits just outside the ETJ where county permitting applies.

Do I need a well and septic system for my Sherman property?
It depends on where your lot is. Properties inside Sherman city limits generally connect to city water and sewer. If you're building on acreage outside city limits — north toward Hagerman, east toward Whitewright, or south toward Howe — you'll likely need a well and septic system. We've installed hundreds of both over 40 years and handle the entire process.
