In this special episode of If Walls Could Talk, John Wyatt speaks with Bruce Honore III, project manager for Precision Development. The subcontractor is a specialty subcontractor that installs EIFS/Stucco and Cast Stone related products.  

The company is featured in W&C’s July 2024 issue.

Precision Development was founded 35 years ago, in 1989. Honore III’s grandfather, Bruce Honore, was a bricklayer by trade. Then, Bruce Honore Jr. followed his example and opened Precision Development with his partner, Lance Smith. Once Honore III graduated college in 2012, he joined the company full-time.

“Our market is the semi-custom and custom residential markets. For the most part, we do new construction and remodels but do some repair work for homeowners as well,” Honore III says. “The cool part of our company is we are a one-stop-shop for all masonry needs. It makes it easier on customers, knowing that the brick, stucco and cast stone guys are all on the same page because we are under the same roof.”

He says the company’s niche is helping with moisture management and double-checking flashing and WRB details on projects. “As far as our scope, we do some things that are not required but make for a better system,” Honore III says. “We started using Plain Drain 6-millimeter rainscreen on all our stucco and full-thickness stone houses. Also, we use a ‘dove tail’ entangled net at the base of our brick jobs, along with MTI’s Wall-Opening Weeps to ensure that the walls are able to drain correctly. I am currently patent pending on a new ventilated stucco system. I am looking forward to its launch this year.”

The company has 48 employees between the field and the office. It is also a member of TLPCA, Associated Masonry Contractors of Houston and AWCI.
