President
VP of Construction
The residential construction industry isn’t historically known for innovation or exceeding expectations. You’ve probably even heard a construction horror story or two. Well, we refuse to accept our industry’s status quo of reactive problem-solving, chronic project delays, budget busts, and sub-par customer service. And we don’t think our homeowners should accept it either.
As a company, we take great pride in our commitment to continual improvement and finding better ways of doing everything. We apply this same attitude to every aspect of our operations, from the quality of the building materials and methods we use to the quality of our homeowners’ experience at every step.
One of the ways we have improved our performance for our homeowners is by having a highly-effective team behind each of our projects. Construction of your home will not live and die by one guy operating out of the back of his truck. Instead, our homes are built by a team, everyone working together, holding each other accountable, and solving issues before they arise. Cultivating synergy like this means the process is smooth for you and your home’s budget, schedule, and quality control are on point. This approach affects you directly along each step of the custom homebuilding journey, from the tightness of your home’s original estimate to the ease of dealing with warranty issues after move-in.
Chris and Michael Sims
In 1988, while working as a real estate broker, Chris Sims saw homes being demolished and rebuilt in one of Houston’s historic neighborhoods and recognized an opportunity to help shape the city’s residential landscape. He immersed himself in residential building science and the details behind well-built custom homes, and completed his first home in West University that same year.
Michael grew up around the business and developed the same appreciation for craftsmanship, thoughtful construction, and attention to detail. From sweeping jobsites during the summers to reviewing architectural plans with his father, he gained firsthand experience in the building process from an early age. After graduating from college, Michael officially joined Sims Luxury Builders as a Construction Manager and Project Manager.
Over the years, Michael led the construction of numerous custom homes as well as the development of the Riva at the Park condominium high-rise. In 2019, he assumed leadership of Sims Luxury Builders following Chris’s retirement.
Like Houston itself, Sims Luxury Builders has grown since 1988, but we remain a close-knit family business guided by the same values on which Chris founded the company. Every member of our team shares the same goal: to build each home to the highest standard while providing a thoughtful, collaborative, and well-managed experience along the way.
Want to get to know our founder, Chris Sims? This video was created before Chris retired in 2019, but the values and approach he shares remain an important part of Sims Luxury Builders today.
Our team would love to talk to you about your plans and hopes for your new home.
