About Katz | Bios

We asked our customers why they chose Katz. Here are the top ten answers. 

Team Approach - Building a home is a complex task requiring specialized skills: framing, flooring, finishing, electrical, plumbing, siding, roofing, etc. Our team of hand - picked specialists can provide those skills in a coordinated manner to build a home that meets your needs. Our tradespeople are selected for their quality and reliability, not because they're the low bidder. Saving a few dollars on labor is no bargain if it results in unacceptable work. From the finest framers to the pickiest plumbers, our team of professional tradespeople will get it done right.

We Make it Easy - Building a home is complicated - coordinating tradespeople, obtaining permits, following local codes and ordinances, selecting materials and components. Katz Builders, Inc., believes building a new home should be fun and enjoyable. We work hard to make the process as easy for you as possible.

Neighborhood - Joel B. Katz, President of Katz Builders, Inc., has lived in Austin since 1984. He knows what a wonderful place this is to live in and works hard to make his community a better place. He wants to build a home for you as well as enjoy a good relationship during and after you move into your new home.

Experience - Katz Builders, Inc., has built and remodeled quality custom homes since 1982. We know what works and what does not. You benefit from that experience when you have a Katz Builders home.

Better Design- Better homes start with better designs. We use a landscape architect to maximize site opportunities and beauty. Katz Builders, Inc., works with award-winning Architects and Interior Designers to create custom homes tailored to your specific needs. We work with interior designers to ensure that the room and home layout is both aesthetic and functional. Our knowledge of the most current state of the art, energy efficient materials and techniques as well as Universal Design provide our homeowners with a home that will continue to meet their family needs for years to come.

Organization - Since building a home is such a complicated process, it takes good management skills to keep everything moving smoothly. We've gone to great lengths to use the latest technology and computerized systems. A Client Book is created for each owner to keep documents and information within easy reach. We use construction scheduling to keep track of all activities, eliminate unreasonable delays, and minimize construction finance charges.

Communication - Interaction is the key to customer satisfaction. You need to know where you are, and where you're going with your new home. You have to know ahead of time when you must make selections. You need to be alerted to any delays or problems that arise. Katz Builders, Inc., communicates with each client on a weekly basis, giving them a project update. By keeping you informed and listening to your needs and desires, we make the experience of building a home a more satisfying one.

Value - A home is the largest single investment you will make in your lifetime. We believe that we need to ensure that this investment is secure. Our homes consistently appraise and resell at prices that more than support the investment our clients make.

Environment - Mother Nature is part of our community. Great strides are taken to minimize the impact on the environment, cutting as few trees as possible, minimizing erosion, and striving to preserve the natural beauty of the site. Our homes are designed to save energy, with high efficiency heating/cooling equipment, state-of-the-art appliances, upgraded insulation and minimum air infiltration. This not only saves you money but is also environmentally friendly.

Commitment - Katz Builders, Inc., is successful because we care about you, your home and the community. We are committed to satisfying our customers, outstanding designs and the finest quality homes while maintaining the high level of customer service that allowed us to receive the National Pacesetter Award for Customer Service as well as being recognized by the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce for Customer Service.
