  Meet the Fast 100: Houston luxury custom homebuilder shares secrets to fast growth

  On Point Custom Homes CEO John Leggett sat down with Houston Business Journal’s Paul Takahashi to discuss his secrets to creating a successful homebuilding process.

  Meet the Fast 100: Houston luxury custom homebuilder shares secrets to fast growth

  John Leggett was an investment banker in Houston’s oil and gas industry for five years before he realized his true calling was in real estate.

  After all, real estate was in his blood.

  His mother was a real estate agent who bought and sold property. His father was a former airline pilot who began remodeling homes, then building them and finally got into commercial development.

  “I grew up in a family who had an appreciation for real estate,” Leggett said. “That piqued my interest.”

  In 2005, Leggett melded his interest in real estate with his experience in investment banking, and founded On Point Custom Homes, a luxury homebuilding company. The North Carolina native started with just two people in his home and mobile office, writing checks from the back of his SUV at job sites around town.

  A decade later, On Point Custom Homes boasts a dozen employees inside a modern office in the Galleria area. The spec and custom homebuilder builds between 14 and 18 homes a year worth between $700,000 to $2 million in neighborhoods like Briargrove, Rice Military, South Hampton, Upper Kirby and West University.

  This year, On Point Custom Homes has ranked for the first time on the Houston Business Journal’s Fast 100 List, which recognizes the fastest-growing companies in Houston based on two-year revenue growth.

  Leggett, On Point Custom Homes’ CEO, attributes his success to his homebuilding process. He uses technology, like project management and 3-D home design software, to ensure that construction deadlines are met and there is little material wasted at his job sites. He also focuses on talent development, sending his employees to builder shows to scout out new building techniques and smart home devices. He also cross trains them so they can step into any job.

  “Our actual build time isn’t all that different from other builders, but we minimize the downtime in our building process,” Leggett said. “We preach to our staff and everybody that our process needs to be better than our competitors because there are a lot of guys out there who can build a great house.”

In order to qualify, companies must have closed five full fiscal years by Dec. 31, 2014, be headquartered in the Houston area, earned at least $1 million in revenue for fiscal year 2014, and be for-profit and privately held.

  Behind the scenes photoshoot

  Sometimes I wonder if you all really knew everything that went on behind the scenes you’d love us more, or be worries for our sanity. The verdict may always be out on that one, but nonetheless it’s still fun giving you glimpses from behind the scenes! It also gives me the chance to show you some things that aren’t always made for the blog, like the pool photo shoot we did with American Express.

  The photo we posted for it Instagram turned out awesome, but what you didn’t get to see was the rain store that happened right after we finished blowing up all one million floats at the location house!! I almost cried. I almost cried on a stranger’s porch, but I resisted!

  We actually shot the floats at the owner of On Point Custom Homes house. Needless to say we were practically all besties after I ran around their yard for two hours in basically no clothing while trying not cry, and also tossing inflatable pigs around. Good times! Now you have all been warned in case you ever invite me over for a pool party…
