Royal Texan Homes Named 2025 GHBA Custom Home Builder of the Year

HOUSTON, TX -- Royal Texan Homes has been named 2025 Custom Home Builder of the Year by the Greater Houston Builders Association, an honor recognizing the company’s leadership in custom residential design, construction science, and execution excellence.

The award was presented by 2025 GHBA President Adam Ashmann and Laurie Wilson, President of the GHBA Sales & Marketing Council and 2025 Prism Awards Chair, at the association’s annual awards presentation.

Houston is widely regarded as one of the most competitive and demanding custom home markets in the United States, defined by scale, complexity, climate challenges, and some of the highest client expectations in the industry. Royal Texan Homes’ selection reflects a body of work distinguished not only by architectural quality, but by rigorous systems, performance-driven construction, and long-term durability.

“This is a humbling and deeply meaningful moment for our entire team,” said Mark Garraty, Founder of Royal Texan Homes. “Houston is a proving ground. To be recognized here, by peers who understand what it truly takes to build at the highest level, is incredibly validating.”

In addition to being named Custom Home Builder of the Year, Royal Texan Homes earned multiple industry awards throughout 2025, including Best Custom Floorplan Experts in Texas and Designer of the Year, awarded to Talison Davis, Lead Designer, further reinforcing its reputation for disciplined execution and thoughtful design.

As the company enters 2026, Royal Texan Homes is launching its Signature Homes initiative, an internally curated collection of residences that reflect the company’s highest design, material, and performance standards, alongside continued development within select residential communities across the region.

“This recognition isn’t a finish line,” Garraty added. “It’s confirmation that the standards we’ve set are working and it challenges us to raise them even further.”
