Firmly standing on its core values of trust, teamwork, and community, Noble provides general contracting, design-build, construction management, facility maintenance, and development services designed to exceed the expectations of every client it serves. Noble was established in 2015 by partners and founders President & CEO Rene Capistran, Vice-Chairman of the Board Patrick Williams, and Vice President & Director of Operations Alfredo Garcia, Jr. Each brings almost 30 years of impressive and extensive knowledge and skills from the construction arena to Noble which has helped build and sustain the company’s solid foundation since its founding. Together, their leap of faith eight years ago along with their experienced staff and employees has been a driving force behind Noble’s success and commitment to the industry, each client project, and the communities they serve through the Noble Charities Foundation.

It has achieved impressive growth, starting with three employees, and rising from a small to a medium-sized construction company that remains a strong contender in its competitive market.
Safety is fundamental in Noble’s daily operations, and it recently earned the 1st Place National Construction Safety Excellence Award at the Associated General Contractors of America’s national convention. Though the core values of Noble are trust, teamwork, and community, safety is embedded in all three. From the management to their field team, safety is at the forefront of every project. Noble believes that no job is so important that it can’t be done safely, and proper planning will always enable the execution of safe performance. “Noble’s job is to ensure that every single day our team goes home safely. This includes all subcontractors, suppliers, clients, architects, and anyone who is involved in the project and visits and works on-site. We take safety very, very seriously. We have a passion for what we do, and we are always looking for ways to improve. We have taken what we have learned from working at other companies, incorporated best management practices, then created new ways to improve and develop programs unique to Noble. We continue to challenge our employees and leadership to come up with innovative ways for safety excellence,” Capistran said.

Christine Blouch serves as the Executive Director of the Noble Charities Foundation, the company’s 501(c)(3). Blouch has been with Noble for seven of its eight years coming in as the first female employee. Noble now employs 13 women. “I can’t imagine being anywhere else. The values I hold dear align so beautifully with those of Noble in their commitment to the culture of giving together and growing together,” Blouch said with enthusiasm. “As a woman who came in so long ago, there was still that stigma that a woman didn’t belong in the field of construction. I’m so glad to see the doors that were shut to me opening freely at Noble not only for me but for the future of other young women in construction. I’m proud to be a part of Noble promoting these avenues for a more diverse workforce.”
The same level of service they bring to the construction industry is brought into the impactful work they do through the foundation. Their efforts of volunteerism, charity, and educational advocacy have earned them Governor Greg Abbott ‘s Community Impact Award among other honors.
Q&A With Noble Texas Builders, LLC:
How Noble’s impact and work projects affect the Houston and San Antonio area:
We have been working diligently on several client projects in Houston and the surrounding areas. Most recently, Noble has been working on University of Houston, Houston Community College, and San Jacinto College campuses, providing general contracting services, and supporting the institutions to improve the educational environment for students and faculty.
In San Antonio, Noble recently completed a restoration of the historic mural at San Antonio’s Lila Cockrell Theatre. The project site was within the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center complex, located along the River Walk. Serving as the general contractor, Noble put a team together to perform extensive roof repairs and mural restoration for the project. Located at the top of the theatre is A Confluence of Civilizations, one of San Antonio’s biggest and most notable pieces of public art. The 130-foot-long mural needed a great deal of TLC after 55 years of exposure to harsh elements. Unlike most large-scale murals, this masterpiece was created by placing 540 panels of nearly 500,000 multi-colored stones imported from Mexico.
Our San Antonio team is also working on projects with University of Texas – San Antonio, Alamo College, and Texas A&M University-San Antonio, and San Antonio ISD. Some of these include a recently completed coffee shop & the new Gateway Entrance for the TAMU-SA campus.
