2021 TAB Star Awards Winners Announced

Eight Grand Awards & 173 Elite Trophies were Handed Out.

AUSTIN, Texas – The Texas Association of Builders (TAB) announced the 2021 Star Awards winners in conjunction with the 20th Sunbelt Builders Show™ at Hilton Anatole Dallas. There were a record setting 720 entries that resulted in eight Grand Awards and 173 elite trophies being handed out by co-emcees Jenny Anchondo, TV news journalist/Second Shot Podcast host and Media Personality Amy Vanderoef.

The Star Awards have been given annually to recognize excellence in all areas of the residential construction industry. These awards are highly coveted within the industry. Our great State should be proud of its builders, remodelers, architects, designers, developers, and sales, marketing, and construction professionals. Projects and nominations were submitted by 120 companies from 60 cities across Texas.
 
In 1992, TAB launched the Star Awards – the only statewide tribute to excellence in the homebuilding industry.
