Yelitza Mora: BuildTX Solutions

Welcome back to a brand new episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast. Today your host Steve Larosiliere sits down with Yelitza Mora from BuildTX Solutions. Steve and Yelita met at a mastermind in San Diego, where Yelitza explained that she operates a construction company.

She may not be your typical Woodpreneur, but wood is one of the many mediums that Yelitza works with. Additionally, the brand and lifestyle she has built around herself paint her as a stellar example of what Woodpreneurs can be capable of.

“We started about five years ago here in Dallas, Texas, because there was a need. I was consulting before we started the company, and then I wanted to start investing in real estate. When we tried to find good and reliable contractors, we couldn’t find any; it was just like the horror stories.

Everyone has this idea that contractors are terrible, they’re going to go ahead and run off with your money, and they’re not going to do things the right way. So I told my business partner, a civil engineer, I was like, ‘Hey, you have a lot of experience in the construction part of things in Venezuela, where we’re from, on the commercial side. Why don’t we collaborate?

I’m good at sales, consulting, looking at problems, and creating solutions. And you’re good at doing, boots on the ground, running the crews, making sure everything is supposed to go how it is supposed to go. Then we see if we’re a good fit for the community and the marketplace.’” That’s how we launched the business in 2017, and since then, it’s been rapid growth for us.”
