About wBuilders

Faith. Family. Excellence in all things.

wBuilders is a family-run Austin home builder founded by Lane White in 2024. We renovate outdated homes, build custom ones and partner with investors, and we hold every project to the same standard: do it right, be honest about it, and treat people the way we'd want to be treated.

A dream, put on hold, then built

Lane spent nearly five years with a national home builder. His job was to sell homes, but he spent more time on the job site than in the office.

In his spare time he taught himself building science: pairing the best construction methods with the best products to build homes that last and use less energy. In 2019 he set his sights on becoming a builder himself.

    The plan

    When the world stopped in March, Lane wrote a business plan and started buying land. Months later the Austin housing market boomed, and the dream waited.

  2. 2023

    A leap of faith

    After weeks of prayer and with his family behind him, Lane left his career to start his own real estate business.

    wBuilders is born

    In August, Lane bought his first flip project, and wBuilders officially began.

Meet Lane and Sasha

wBuilders is a family business at heart.

Lane and Sasha have been married since 2017 and are raising their kids in Austin. Sasha grew up in Houston and studied at Texas State University, and she's been alongside Lane through every step, from the first business plan to the latest listing.

Their faith and family shape how wBuilders works. It's why the company measures success by the people it builds up as much as the homes it builds.

The project that shaped us

"One of our most challenging flips to date is finally hitting the market. This project was much more than a renovation. It was a test of perseverance, patience, and faith. Along the way, we learned some hard lessons about permitting, city inspections, timelines, and the realities of navigating a complex project from start to finish.

This house played a major role in shaping who we are as a company. Some people who started this journey with us are no longer part of the team today, while others stepped up and became key players in what has grown into our A-team.

We're proud to finally bring this property to market because of everything it took to get here."

Values we lived before we wrote them down

These principles weren't brainstormed in a boardroom. They showed up first in how we worked, how we treated people and how we made decisions. They hold us accountable, guide our success and keep us aligned with God's purpose for this business.

  • Excellence in all things

    Quality materials and craftsmanship in the parts of a home you see and the parts you don't.

  • Honesty, integrity and transparency

    Straight answers on cost, schedule and decisions, from the first meeting to the last.

  • The Golden Rule

    We treat clients, partners and trades the way we want to be treated, and leave people better than we found them.

"Proud to be a part of this business of bringing quality remodeled homes to families in the Austin area."
