Who's Behind
Amal Homes.

Khalid Halabi founded Amal Homes in 2017, after two decades at Chevron and BHP leading subsurface teams on multibillion-dollar capital projects. He brought that same discipline to residential construction in Houston and Austin.

“After years of dreaming about building a home — even just one — I made it real. Amal, my mother’s name, means hope in Arabic. It embodies the aspirations that fuel our work, always guided by one simple principle: We build them as if we would reside in them.”

The Amal Design-Build Advantage

Looks. Functionality. Build Cost.

Three things every home should get right — we design for all of them at once.

Looks

Photorealistic renderings of your exterior and interior, iterated with you until every elevation, material, and finish is exactly right. You approve the look of your home before construction begins — not after.

Functionality

Layouts designed around how you actually live — your routines, your family, your priorities. Every room, sightline, and storage decision is made with purpose, so the home works as beautifully as it looks.

Build Cost

Every design decision is priced as it's made, not estimated at the end. Your budget is engineered into the design from day one — so it survives contact with construction.

Because design and construction live under one roof, every decision is made with all three in view — from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.

How We Work

Custom Building Process

A clear path from your first conversation to your front door.

Discovery

We start with you — your vision, lifestyle, budget, and land. Build on your own lot, or let us help you find the right one in Houston or Austin.

Feasibility & Budget Frame

We assess your site and establish a realistic cost envelope before design begins — so we design a home you can build, from the very first sketch.

Design & Renderings

We draw the house with our architects — floor plans, elevations, and the material selections that go with them. Nothing moves to pricing until you sign off.
