Gravell and Company, Your Full Service San Antonio Builder

September 4th, 2010

Gravell and Company is quickly gaining a notable reputation as a San Antonio Custom Home Builder and Remodeler.  Most recent accomplishments have centered around their luxury building expertise as well as their state-of-the-art “Green Building” techniques.  Gravell and Company was recently honored as an award recipient at the Greater San Antonio Home Builders Association Summit Awards for best Green Remodel, recognizing their work on the beautiful Monte Vista home.

Gravell and Company works a little differently than other San Antonio Builders.  They firmly believe their success stems from two things:  First, the client’s complete confidence and satisfaction in their performance is of utmost importance.  They strive to go above and beyond for each client, knowing that nothing less than their reputation is on the line.  Second, they know they must offer a full service construction company and become PARTNERS with their clients.

What does “Full Service” mean to Gravell and Company?  It means they have all of the answers and are the go-to place.  Gravell and Company will be involved in your project as much or as little as you desire.  If all you require is a few hours to consult a specialist in the field on a specific aspect of your construction endeavor, they are available.  On the flip side, Gravell and Company can become your “Owners Representative”, getting involved and helping in every phase of your project, from budget to site selection, from design and construction to financing.  Gravell and Company works hard at building relationships with contractors, design firms, and lenders so they can always help you connect with the right people it takes to successfully complete a construction project.  They understand that starting a new building project can be intimidating no matter if it’s big or small.  They are here to make you comfortable and explain everything, so that partnered together, you can lead a great project that is completed beyond your highest expectations.

Although many past clients have hired Gravell and Company to complete luxury home projects, they are also extremely affordable and capable of more modest new builds and remodels.  High quality is their standard and it is applied to all jobs, large or small.  When you hire Gravell and Company, you have their promise to get your project completed with your best interests in mind.  Budget, quality, efficiency, and functionality are considerations given to each and every project, whether it’s a new multi-million dollar home or a simple room addition on your home in BoerneCordillera RanchAlamo Heights TX and/or the greater San Antonio area.

They have experience working in many areas of the United States and have a proven track record of starting great relationships in new places.  Although their primary focus is to be the best San Antonio Builder in Texas, Gravell and Company is readily available to travel to every part of the US.  Just because you aren’t in the Southwest doesn’t mean you can’t benefit from the quality service and experience of Gravell and Company.

Give them a call. They’d love to extend their Texas hospitality to you…in any area code.

Quality Construction equals “Green Construction”

August 19th, 2010

There’s a lot of hype these days surrounding the “go green” revolution. The concept of going “green” has been somewhat hi-jacked, manipulated, and contorted from its original meaning. And while the phrase certainly can instigate some negative emotions, Gravell and Company, a San Antonio home builder, wants you to know what it means for them to practice “green building”.

Gravell and Company was recently awarded with the Green Project of the Year by the Greater San Antonio Builders Association for their Certified Green Retrofit Project on an older home in Monte Vista. What does that mean? They successfully remodeled a historic home that had run its course on efficiency and improved it by up to 40%. This impressive feat was accomplished on an architecturally traditional home by using proper building techniques that all quality projects should have.

Whether your label on a project is “green” or not doesn’t matter; it’s about quality. And quality is green. Gravell and Company is one of a very few San Antonio builders to build with such quality in mind for all projects.  Quality means building solid, efficient, healthy to live in homes with the best value in mind for the customer.

So what considerations go into a “green” home project?  More than you could imagine.  Some factors include site selection, energy efficiency inside and out, water efficiency, homeowner education, and many more.  What products contribute to a “green” home build?  LED or compact fluorescent lighting, pre-fab construction, geothermal and/or high efficiency conventional HVAC systems, upgraded insulation, high efficiency plumbing systems, and recycled building materials. The consideration that goes into all of these factors and the products that are used build incredible value into your project so it will not only increase your home’s value, it will save you money contribute to a more efficient use of resources (heat, power, water, etc.) from your community.

Gravell and Company extends the “green/quality” mindset to all projects from traditional home remodels, to contemporary new builds and everything in between.  You can see some of the great projects completed with this mindset on the Gravell and Co. Website.  Gravell and Co. builds and remodels homes in BoerneCordillera Ranch,Alamo Heights TX, and the greater San Antonio area.
