BUILD Architecture Awards 2025 The story of Royal Texan Homes began in 2014, after Mark Garraty had grown disenchanted with the current state of the construction industry. Experiencing firsthand the degree of fragmentation and depersonalization the homebuilding process had undergone, Mark envisioned a new future for construction – one rooted in care, clarity, and craftsmanship. To achieve this vision, Mark asked himself: What would it mean to build a home the right way? This questioned was answered with the establishment of Royal Texan Homes – a commanding construction company that places people at the very center of its processes. This would require total transparency, honest and feasible timelines, strong foundations, and consistently delivering upon promises. The company understood that it must also build to a higher standard than what had been set across the industry – utilizing materials and methodologies that would not only support the longevity of the home, but also the health and comfort of those inhabiting it. And thus, Royal Texan Homes was born, leading the charge in providing personalized, personcentered services that guide the client through the homebuilding process without applying unnecessary pressure. Since its inception, this company has been one that believes in doing things the right way by simplifying decisions, offering meaningful advice, and building something for each client that feels like it was destined to be their home. “We are placing people – not just plans – at the center of the process; we design with intention and create homes that feel both timeless and deeply personal.” With the aim of making each client’s dreams a reality, Royal Texan Homes serves as more than just a builder. The company offers a fully-integrated custom homebuilding experience, with each step – from architectural design to construction completion –handled with the utmost care and expertise. To achieve precision, personalization, and lasting quality, Royal Texan Homes has divided its comprehensive process into three distinctive teams, each specializing in a key aspect of the homebuilding journey. The company’s in-house architectural studio is led by NCARB-licensed professionals possessing a wealth of knowledge in building science, structural systems, and code compliance. Each floorplan is designed from the ground-up, always considering the land, lifestyle, spatial flow, and long-term livability. While the team’s work is guided by traditional architectural principles, it is always tailored to meet the living needs of people today. Royal Texan Homes’s award-winning design team injects depth and refinement into the process, collaborating closely with clients to expertly shape material selections, layouts, and interior flow with purpose and clarity. This specialist insight ensures that each designed space not only looks cohesive, but functions seamlessly in day-to-day life. Finally, the company’s construction team – led by seasoned project managers – translates every line on the page into physical form with precision. Each build is managed with an emphasis on structural integrity, quality control, and long-term performance. This is a collaborative process that, ultimately, allows Royal Texan Homes to build beautiful floorplans that are made to last. “The best architecture is the kind you feel before you see. It’s in the way a space flows, holds light, and makes sense structurally. That kind of design doesn’t come from templates – it comes from experience and intention.” This is a time-tested approach, and one that Royal Texan Homes intends to continue leveraging through 2025 and beyond. Looking ahead, Mark announced to us that the company is excited to introduce a new model home that is currently under construction in the High Meadow West community. This showcase home draws from English manor and modern Tudor influences, combining classic architectural form with contemporary function and demonstrating, once again, exactly why Royal Texan Homes has been named Texas’s Custom Home Floorplan Specialists of the Year 2025. “This model home will serve not only as a welcoming space for visitors, but as a physical expression of our design principles,” Mark explained. “Designed as both a living space and an educational environment, it will highlight the advanced construction methods, thoughtful spatial planning, and material detailing that reflect our designbuild philosophy.” Building a home can be one of the most stressful projects undertaken, with each stage bringing its own plethora of potential problems. From coordinating with contractors to juggling budgets and timelines, there are many challenges that may arise. The most pivotal step to mitigating this stress and streamlining the building process lies at the very beginning – in the choice of construction company. Choosing the right construction company for the project is crucial, and no company understands this more than Royal Texan Homes.
