Work & experience

Real photographs. Honestly labelled.

Visten Construction Group was formed in April 2026. Everything below is either work co-founder Duane Holloway built or was personally involved with, a building Visten designed, or a build in progress right now — and each is labelled so you know exactly which.

The company is new. The hands are not.

Visten Construction Group was formed in April 2026 — the company is new, the hands aren’t. Co-founder Duane Holloway has spent 35+ years building custom and energy-efficient homes across North Texas, and the work shown here is his. The first Visten homes are under construction now.

Built

Custom home — Anson, Texas

A single-story stucco home on open rural ground, wrapped on the entry side by a long, deep covered porch carried on stone-based columns, under a standing-seam metal roof with wide overhangs. Inside, the kitchen runs warm knotty-alder cabinetry against a patterned cement-tile backsplash, with quartz counters and a reclaimed antique work table standing in as the island.

One house, two photographs. Square footage, build year, cost and homeowner details are not published because we will not state figures we cannot verify.

Two-story mixed-use building

A two-story mixed-use building: stacked stone across the ground floor with full-height storefront glazing between the piers, and a lighter upper level set back behind a full-width covered balcony with a horizontal black steel railing. The roof overhangs deeply, finished underneath with a warm wood soffit.

Design only

This project is a Visten design. Visten Construction Group did not build it — the construction was carried out by others.

ICF construction — the part most builders never show you

Insulated concrete form building, photographed as it happens. This is the wall assembly Visten specializes in, and the sequence below is the part of a house that decides how it performs for the next eighty years — long before anyone chooses a countertop.

These photographs show process and in-progress work, not completed Visten homes.

Oklahoma ICF Residence — Southern Oklahoma

A residence currently under construction in southern Oklahoma, built with insulated concrete form (ICF) walls combined with red iron structural steel framing. ICF walls give continuous insulation and storm resistance in a single assembly, and red iron steel framing allows long clear spans and large openings.

Under construction

This build is in progress right now. No square footage, completion date, cost or homeowner details are published for it.

How the two systems work

Long Clear Spans Without Interior Columns

The ICF walls around the outside of the building are reinforced concrete. They carry the building’s load around the perimeter, so the exterior shell is structure as well as envelope. Across the inside of the building, red iron structural steel carries the roof.

Because the steel spans that distance, the walls inside do not need to be load-bearing. Living areas can be left open, without columns or posts standing in the middle of the floor, and openings in the exterior walls can be made large for windows and doors.

The two systems are doing different jobs. The concrete handles the envelope — continuous insulation, storm resistance and air tightness. The steel handles the span. The photographs in this section are of work underway, not a finished building.

“I have worked with Duane on many projects over 30 years and he has always been great to work with. He works hard to give his customers the best energy efficient home possible.”

Prior work — before Visten

“My project is an ICF build with a steel-framed roof designed for large spans with no interior columns or posts. It is 8,600 sf under the roof and 6,200 sf living area. Duane was instrumental to the design of the building and is an expert in ICF. He has a practical and experience-based knowledge of building in general that was/is invaluable for the integration of ICF with roof, openings, electric, plumbing, etc. Duane has been on-site at many critical junctures, and his knowledge and support have been priceless.”

A note on this page

More finished-home photography is being added as current builds complete.

The first Visten homes are under construction now. Rather than fill this page with images that are not ours, we add photography as those builds finish.

In the meantime the most useful thing we can offer is the real thing: ask us to arrange a jobsite visit and walk an active build in person, before the wall assembly is covered up.
