“As builders, we are not merely constructing houses; we are building homes where families create memories, where dreams take shape, and where communities thrive. Our work is not just about bricks and mortar; it’s about the lives we touch and the legacies we leave behind….And it is our responsibility, as builders, to ensure that the Texas dream remains within reach for all who seek it.” — 2025 TAB President Brett Martin
