Welcome www.gbvbuilders.org Greater Brazos Valley 2018 Fall Parade of Homes™ October 20 & 21 Fall 2018 W elcome once again to the Greater Brazos Valley Builders Association 2018 Fall Parade of Homes™. On behalf of all the members, I want to cordially invite you to attend our incredible two-day event held Oct. 20 and 21. Last year we had our largest Fall Parade ever and are excited about this year’s event. The success of our Parade of Homes™ would not be possible without the support of the countless individuals who return each year to experience this spectacular event. This year we are proud to showcase 37 of the finest homes built by 23 very talented builders and numerous subcontractors, designers and architects. This great event showcases the finest work from the Brazos Valley’s best. Come and see the latest trends in new construction and interact with our local home builders. It is not to be missed. We are pleased to be bringing back our Parade of Homes™ mobile app called Parade Craze. This app can be viewed on your mobile device and will help guide and direct you to all the participating homes in the Parade. It will include photos, builder profiles, and a section for comments. We are also adding an opportunity for you to select your favorite features of each home in the app this year. Look for the QR code to download the app on the cover of this issue or on The Greater Brazos Valley Builders Association website. Included on gbvba.org is the same information you will find on the mobile app. The members of this association represent the best in the building industry. They understand that together we provide homes — not just houses — and serve an important role in our community. On behalf of the Greater Brazos Valley Builders Association Parade of Homes™ Committee members, we would like to thank you in advance for taking time to visit each of the homes and personally meet our builders.
