During the past 20 years, Ron has earned an enviable reputation for building beautiful homes that stand the test of time. His owners are proud of their homes. What's more important, they are proud to live in a Schelling-built home. And, they don't mind telling you so. Mark Goodwin knows land, and how to utilize it well. He spots where the next great location will be, and negotiates the purchase so that the property cost doesn't drive the home cost out of sight.

Together Ron and Mark have created Farmstone at Diamond, a unique private residential community in the heart of the heartland. Here, they are building spacious homes and duplex homes in wide open spaces. Quality homes for people who appreciate real quality. You might expect this commitment to quality would cost more. Not so and here's a couple of reasons why. Smart land purchase. Efficient construction methods that reduce waste and move construction along. Respected sub-contractors — electricians, plumbers, and concrete finishers—who do their jobs right. The net savings are then used for quality extras that are seldom found in standard "custom" homes. Extras like all wood construction with rafter roofs—not trusses, concrete driveways, 30 year roofs, custom cabinets, full basements, and cellulose (blown-in) insulation for better energy efficiency.
