Tom and Bob Davis' combined construction careers add up to about 50 years, 45 million square feet of apartments, two million square feet of commercial construction and an enviable reputation for conducting business in a way that keeps clients and employees.

Clients appreciate the personal attention. It's company policy to take only what Tom and Bob can personally oversee. It means turning down some work, but the resulting high quality at reasonable cost has created a chain reaction of repeat business. And the steady work prevents the common industry problem of turnover among experienced staff and subcontractors.

Clients also appreciate the company's unique bidding process. It sets up a partnering solution situation from the beginning in which the owner is represented in every aspect of the project, including the selection of the subcontractors. The bid itself becomes a joint effort with no mysteries, and the entire building process functions more smoothly. Problems are seen together and solved together. Change orders are kept to a minimum and surprises are virtually nonexistent.

Twice in the last ten years the company has earned Golden Nugget Awards from the Pacific Coast Builders Conference and was ranked as one of "The Houston 100" fastest growing companies by The Houston Business Journal in 1995.

Davis Brothers shows its appreciation by giving back to the community, especially children, in the form of vigorous support for the Star of Hope Mission and The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
