construction sector.

Since last speaking to the company in May 2024, Galaxy remains hyperfocused on multifamily construction and building new properties from the ground up. However, it has

recently expanded its services with a renovation division, growing its data technology department, and launching a brand-new sister company – Galaxy Custom Pools.

As one of Texas’ leading general contracting firms, Galaxy Builders has built a reputation for excellence and delivery of topof-the-line projects. We revisit the award-winning company with Alan Gonzales, Executive Director of Business Development Writer: Lauren Kania | Project Manager: Sam Warner

in the tri-city corridor and Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, down to San Antonio, and over to Houston,” introduces Alan Gonzales, Executive Director of Business Development.

“Our clients are developers who

look for an experienced value-add general contractor.”

The company is home to 108 employees whose positions range from in-office to field staff and project management to superintendents.

Currently, Galaxy is bidding and pricing more contracts than ever before, with a robust pipeline of projects and a steadfast belief that the future is bright for both the company and Texas as job growth continues to North America Outlook Issue 32 | 3

soar throughout the state, specifically in the Dallas-Fort Worth market.

“New construction starts are slow for the year, and there are external market factors for this – high interest rates being one of the primary components. However, I look at this as the calm before the storm,” details Gonzales.

“Galaxy remains as excited as ever to be in the multifamily construction space.”

The company’s core values are at the heart of every decision it makes, with loyalty being one of the most important. As such, Galaxy remains loyal to its staff and will do everything possible to retain key players as it looks forward to an exciting future with several closings planned for Q4 2025 and Q1 2026.

UNMATCHED EXPERTISE Gonzales graduated with a bachelor’s

degree in marketing and international business from Baylor University, Texas, and has spent his career specializing in developing and nurturing relationships and driving new business initiatives.

In his current position, his focus remains on Galaxy’s clients, strategic planning, and collaboration to provide unmatched service to the team and local communities.

Gonzales works to differentiate the company from the competition through its five unique traits, which comprise being Texas-proud, having decades of experience with a forwardthinking mindset, establishing a culture of building people, being an invested general contractor, and conducting operational excellence through an entrepreneurial operating system (EOS).

“As a Texas-based and owned general contractor, Galaxy brings

Alan Gonzales, Executive Director of Business Development: “With the threats of tariffs on several products and materials we use in multifamily construction, our relationships with trade partners and suppliers are more important than ever.

“They are crucial to the success of our business. Luckily, we have over 34 years of experience in the Texas market, and our relationships run deep to find solutions to get projects within budget and built on time. While there are several subcontractors throughout Texas, we consider those we work with to be our trade partners.

“We started this year with a trade partner appreciation event where we gave a state of the company address, had a special guest speaker, provided lunch, and paid for a round of golf. The reason we did this was to let our partners know how important they are to the success of Galaxy and how much we appreciate them.”

unmatched regional expertise, deeprooted relationships, and a passion for building stronger communities across the Lone Star State. We understand the local landscape because it is our own backyard,” expands Gonzales.

With over 34 years of proven success, the company combines historical knowledge with cutting-edge technology and a data-driven approach to deliver consistent results across both affordable and market-rate housing.

This includes 75 US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-financed projects, highlighting the company’s ability to combine its vast experience with an innovative mindset.

When it comes to Galaxy’s culture of building people, it is proud to be considered a top workplace in San Antonio.

“This reflects our family-like atmosphere, strong internal values,

and a work hard, play hard culture which goes beyond the office and jobsite to impact the community. At Galaxy, our people and community are the foundation of our success!” prides Gonzales.

To emphasize its position as an invested general contractor, the company takes a value-added approach, aligning with its clients’

goals to create a lasting impact in the communities it serves.

Finally, in terms of operational excellence through EOS, Galaxy has built a process that ensures accountability, transparency, and efficiency at every level.

“We don’t just build communities; we have built a proven process,” asserts Gonzales.

BUILDING OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE Recently, Galaxy completed Caliza Ridge in San Antonio – a luxury apartment complex that includes a 12,000+ square foot clubhouse with amenities such as a fitness center, meeting rooms, resort-style pool, and more.

Additionally, the company has nearly completed Leon Creek Flats, a 308 multifamily gated community that serves the affordable housing needs of San Antonio. This complex was designed for comfort and convenience and boasts a plethora of family-friendly amenities without the luxury price tag.

Projects aside, Galaxy’s new 2025 Galaxy Renovation division was recently initiated.

“As new projects have slowed, we have several clients who have properties for long-term holds of 15 years or more. These locations require renovation over time, and we can now be there for those specific needs,” expands Gonzales.

Equally, the company’s new venture – Galaxy Custom Pools – was created in 2025 out of necessity, not just to add another revenue source.

With most pool companies focusing on residential contracts, Galaxy’s multifamily pool projects began to fall behind. Today, the projects that the custom pool division have been awarded are already ahead of schedule and under budget, showcasing its multifaceted abilities.

For the company, giving back to the communities it serves has always been a significant initiative, hence why it recently began its Community Impact Group (CIG).

“We created CIG to ensure we are doing everything we can with the staff and resources we have,” details Gonzales.

“Our largest philanthropy effort to date has gone to the American Heart Association (AHA). This year, we will hold our 10th Annual Arun Verma Golf Tournament and fundraiser for this cause. To date, we have helped raise over $500,000 for AHA as our founder, Arun Verma, sadly passed away from heart disease.”

Galaxy holds this tournament in Verma’s honor to help raise funds and awareness for a large community that is impacted.

A CULTURE OF CONTINUAL GROWTH Galaxy uses a proven process to achieve success in all its endeavors, which includes preconstruction, project pulse, monthly meetings, 90-minute meetings, and closeout, allowing the company to achieve its goal of building thriving places through trusting relationships.

“This process is included with every proposal. It explains what we offer and how we take a project all the way through to conclusion,” denotes Gonzales.

“It is part of our guarantee. There may be problems, but we will always find a solution.”

Parallel to the company’s dedication to its clients, Galaxy recognizes the crucial impact its staff have on the continued success of the business and values their effort on a daily basis.

The staff’s loyalty to the company is evident in the longevity of their tenure and Galaxy being named the top place to work in San Antonio for nine years in a row.

“We have staff who have been here for over three decades. We also have ‘state of the company’ meetings every quarter, where all field and office staff attend to get an update on how we are doing as a company and where we plan on going in the next quarter,” concludes Gonzales.

This allows for transparency and a day of fun away from the normal workday. Galaxy awards ‘employees of the quarter’ and has an end-of-year holiday party where it recognizes ‘office and field staff of the year’, all of which takes place in front of the entire company.

This cements Galaxy’s dedication toward an innovative, supportive, and successful workplace environment.
