you can overcome them becomes 50 / 50 . But over here at CapTex , no problem is too big ; we go out and hit homeruns .” This speaks to the wider company culture . Danny boasts that the CapTex team are a dependable crew of loyal employees .
When asked if there is one aspect of the homebuilding process that clients often take for granted , he shares that it ’ s what goes on behind closed doors . “ No one sees that at one , two , three in the morning , Alice and I are emailing each other to make sure that everything is running as smoothly as possible . We also put in extra hours to ensure our projects stay on schedule as best as possible , and our clients will often say ‘ what are you doing up at that time ?’ But the truth is we ’ re responsible for these projects , so we do need to put in the work . This is also true of the sort of people who work with me .
“ Every company is looking for better people , but I ’ m proud to say that any business approaching someone in my team will be swiftly denied . My team is well taken care of , and they know that this business will continue to grow in the long run , which means that their futures are also secure . I know I ’ ve
surrounded myself with the best people out there and that makes me really proud .”
Community connections
With a focus on building timeless homes , Danny outlines that as each project draws to a close , he gains a new favorite to the portfolio . “ We don ’ t stick to one niche or specialty build , which is why so many customers depend on us . I recently completed an addition to a home that I originally built . It ’ s a New Orleansthemed home that was salvaged from Hurricane Katrina . We did their floors , two cabinets , and the backyard . At the moment , this project is incredibly special because the family of the home are such great people . Their kids call me Uncle Danny .
“ We did another project in Lost Creek in Austin , and I ’ ve been personally invited to their home for Thanksgiving . So , to an extent , it ’ s the clients that I fall in love with , and they ’ re the ones that bring out the uniqueness in each of the projects . Subsequently , I ’ ve become protective of the community in which we work . For example , during the Big Freeze last year , I put my guys on the road for up to 90 hours straight to look after everyone here ,
