The WM started as a fascinating synchrodestiny story in 2018 when designers Wilbanks and Mackay met at an industry event and connected over fashion. From there, a year passed while Wilbanks began working with a business coach, and Mackay attended a business conference where both were encouraged to step outside of their comfort zones, get very clear about their desires for their future business, and put all of these things down on a vision board down to the last detail. Mackay reached out to Wilbanks, recognizing a shared passion for modern design that seduces the senses and creates the best life for clients. Unbeknownst to her, Wilbanks had already created the exact same model. The two immediately created a “married in Vegas” feeling business partnership, and the rest is history. “At The WM, our mission is to transform environments and the experience of home and work, to enhance relationships, productivity and pleasure.” [read more]

Building a custom home is a collaborative effort made easier with Steve Shannon Design. Custom Home Designer Steve Iltis and Interior Designer Shannon Vestal work together to deliver a functional home designed around your lifestyle. Their team approach allows more than a residential design perspective on the plans. Steve works with clients to provide floor and site plans, exterior and interior elevations, roof plans and electrical plans. At the same time, Shannon utilizes creative designs and knowledge of material costs to help implement the homeowners’ style into the design of the home, which is presented in a full-color 3D of the exterior. This added detail up front means selections are made with budget in mind, therefore fewer changes are made during construction. Steve and Shannon create homes that are not only beautiful, but tailored to their clients’ lifestyle and budget. [read more]

All houses that are built by Imperial Builders, LLC, are original designs by architects or based on house plans that the client wishes to replicate. If the client does not currently have an architect or plans, owner Roger Steinke, contacts well-qualified architects. He believes that engineering is a key component of the building process, and that a benefit to working with a familiar architect is that he as the builder understands the architect’s style and how the architect engineers his/her houses. Projects are limited to two or three at a time so that Roger can be involved in every building detail. By utilizing his 30+ years of experience, his creativity and his dedication to building an honest rapport with each homeowner, Roger said his clients know that they will receive a prompt response to their questions and concerns. He pays attention to the customer’s “wish lists” to make sure that their wants and needs are included in the home’s design, he emphasized. Being present on the job site every day enables him to have first-hand knowledge of the progress of the project. The superb level of finish work in each Imperial Builders' home truly sets the company apart from the competition. [read more]

In 2007, during the economic downturn, two of the partners of SGB were building homes for a production builder in suburbs of Houston. Due to the uncertainty in the market at the time, and the desire to build more architect/client designed homes, they made the decision to leave the production world and start something new. Focused mainly on small jobs and insurance repairs from a recent hurricane, SGB began building its processes and procedures as well as its portfolio as a reputable builder in the Houston area. After a purchase and flip of a 1920’s bungalow in the historic district of the Houston Heights, larger projects began to make their way to SGB and they spent the next several years executing large addition/remodel and new construction projects in and out of the historic districts of the Heights. These projects created awareness about SGB and their abilities to perform on residential construction projects unlike any other in the city. Organization, communication and quality were core values of the company and that still remains true today. [read more]
