Jenkins Custom Homes Named 2009 Texas Custom Home Builder of the Year

Austin, Texas, Nov. 13 — Jenkins Custom Homes announced projected earnings in 2009 to exceed those of 2008. Another testament to the homebuilder's steadfast success, even in the midst of a recession, was made at the Texas Association of Builders Star Awards this week, where Jenkins Custom Homes was named the 2009 Custom Home Builder of the Year for Texas.
The competition at the Star Awards this year was stiff, with many accomplished homebuilders vying for a chance at the prestigious award. "Our unique Lifestyle Analysis© program, an excellent website, and an amazing team were key to our success this year," said Shan Jenkins, owner of Jenkins Custom Homes.
In addition to winning Custom Builder of the Year, Jenkins took home seven other Star awards, including Best Custom Home and Best Architectural Design. The homebuilder was also named Builder of the Year in 2006, placing it among an elite handful of custom builders in the state of Texas to win the award more than once.
The award goes to the Texas homebuilder who best displays excellence in areas such as design, construction, industry leadership, and community altruism. Jenkins demonstrates all the qualities the Texas Association of Builders seeks in industry and community involvement. Locally, Shan Jenkins serves as President of the Lakeway chapter of the Home Builders Association of Austin. Nationally, Jenkins serves as host to the Custom Builder's Symposium tour, and is an active member of various homebuilder associations.
Bethany Jenkins, vice president of Jenkins Custom Homes, attributes Jenkins' victory to community involvement. "We feel that the more you give to your community, the more you receive. The fact that we've had such a successful year is partly because we make getting involved a priority."
Jenkins Custom Homes has been building luxury custom homes in Austin and surrounding areas for more than 15 years. Jenkins' unique Lifestyle Analysis© program sets the homebuilder apart from its competition, and guarantees any project to be within 5% of the original design cost. With over 100 homes constructed, totaling more than $50 million, Jenkins has a solid track record that is now uniquely recognized through the award of Custom Builder of the Year.
