Royal Texan Homes Revolutionizes Residential Construction: Breaking Industry Norms with Innovation and Excellence

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, March 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In an industry often criticized for its traditional approaches and communication challenges, Royal Texan Homes LLC has emerged as a transformative force in Texas's custom home building sector. Founded by Mark Garraty following his own frustrating experience as a home building client, the company has revolutionized the building process through innovative design, superior construction science, and an unwavering commitment to client relationships.

"There had to be a better way," recalls Garraty, whose personal building experience sparked the vision for what would become one of Texas's most acclaimed custom home builders. "We're not just building homes; we're reinventing how the entire process works."

This vision has translated into remarkable success. From its first project, Royal Texan Homes has grown to deliver over 40 unique custom homes annually, earning prestigious industry recognition along the way. The company's excellence was recently acknowledged with four Texas Association of Builders (TAB) Star Awards and three Greater Houston Builders Association (GHBA) Prism Awards in 2024, building on their two TAB Star Awards from 2023. Their innovative approach to custom floor plans was further recognized with Build Review's Architecture Award for Custom Floor Plan Experts in Texas (2024).

What sets Royal Texan Homes apart is their revolutionary architecture, design and project management approach. Unlike traditional builders who often overload their project managers, Royal Texan limits each manager to just five projects simultaneously. This intentional restriction ensures superior communication and attention to detail throughout the building process.

"When you're juggling too many projects, something has to give," explains Garraty. "By maintaining this five-project limit, our team can provide the detailed attention and daily communication that complex custom builds require."

The company's commitment to excellence extends beyond client satisfaction to employee well-being. Their recent Great Place to Work survey score of 96% demonstrates how their innovative approach benefits not just customers but also team members. This high level of employee satisfaction translates directly into better project outcomes and stronger client relationships.

Royal Texan Homes' integrated approach combines architectural excellence, superior construction science, and meticulous project management. They've elevated industry standards by implementing better products, processes, and oversight, resulting in homes that not only meet but exceed client expectations.

"While we haven't invented something completely new like the internet or electric cars, we've proven that even in a long-established industry, there's always room for significant improvement," Garraty notes. "We're showing that with determination and careful stewardship, you can transform an industry's standard practices."

The company's success in meeting the growing demand for an improved building experience has created a ripple effect throughout the Texas residential construction industry. Their model demonstrates that prioritizing quality, communication, and client relationships isn't just good for customers—it's good for business.

The recent GHBA Design Associate of the Year award (2024) further validates their comprehensive approach to custom home building. This recognition highlights their commitment to excellence in every aspect of the design-build process, from initial concept to final execution.

As Royal Texan Homes continues to grow, they remain focused on their core mission: changing the residential construction industry in Texas through their integrated and passionate approach. Their success proves that by prioritizing quality, communication, and relationships, it's possible to transform even the most traditional industries.

"Our goal isn't just to build beautiful homes," concludes Garraty. "It's to create an experience and a relationship that transforms how people think about custom home building. The awards and growth are wonderful, but our real measure of success is in the lasting relationships we build with our clients."
