From Foundation to Fine Homes
Founded by Toby Locke, our journey began as TLC Homes, rooted in a vision to elevate luxury living in Central Texas. What started with bespoke custom homes for Austin’s most discerning homeowners has grown into a trusted brand synonymous with quality, innovation, and integrity.
Expanding the Vision
With a real estate license in hand, Toby expanded TrueLux’s offerings to include real estate services — allowing us to provide clients with a seamless, end-to-end experience. By bridging custom homebuilding with expert property representation, we deliver a full spectrum of solutions tailored to discerning homeowners and investors alike.
Shaping Austin’s Landscape
During this chapter of growth, TrueLux made a lasting impression on Austin’s evolving cityscape — revitalizing neighborhoods like South Congress and Barton Hills with thoughtfully designed, energy-efficient homes. Through a blend of custom builds and strategic property transformations, we helped shape the architectural identity of some of Austin’s most iconic communities.
Purpose-Driven Rebuilding
Following Hurricane Ike, TrueLux directed its expertise toward disaster recovery — leading large-scale remodeling and reconstruction efforts across Galveston and Houston. These projects demonstrated not only our construction capabilities, but also our commitment to restoring homes, dignity, and peace of mind for families in need.
A Refined Identity — Rooted in Purpose
The evolution from T. Locke Construction to TrueLux Fine Homes marked a return to our core: crafting distinctive, high-end homes that reflect both artistry and intention. With a renewed focus on innovation and client experience, TrueLux continues to set the standard in Central Texas for luxury custom construction and transformative remodeling.

What Our Clients Are Saying
"Our experience with TrueLux Fine Homes couldn’t have been better. They managed a remodel in our downtown high-rise with thoughtful planning, skilled craftsmanship, and an eye for detail. The finish selections were beautiful and well-curated, and the work was completed on time and within budget (a first for us!). Communication was always timely and professional. We couldn’t be happier with the result—or the experience."
