Veteran-Owned Austin Construction Firm Wins Two Prestigious NARI Awards for Luxury Remodeling Excellence
A locally-owned Austin home-remodeling company has announced its latest milestone, highlighting recent project successes that supports Austin areas growing demand for quality home upgrades. The release showcases the company’s awards, commitment to craftsmanship, customer experience, and community-centered service—reinforcing its role as a trusted remodeling partner for Austin-area homeowners.
Austin, TX, February 05, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Absolute Design Build (ADB), a veteran-owned luxury home-remodeling firm, proudly announces it has secured two significant honors from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) Austin Chapter. The awards recognize ADB's exemplary work in design-build collaboration with KKO Design, spotlighting both innovation and inclusive design.
Award Highlights:
Residential Kitchen Remodel – $100K-$150K: In a deeply personal project, ADB re-imagined a 1970s kitchen layout for a homeowner living with multiple sclerosis. The result: an elegant yet wheelchair-accessible kitchen that enables independence and safety, while retaining high-end finishes and seamlessly integrating into the home's luxury aesthetic.
Residential Outdoor Living – Over $200K: ADB and design partner KKO Design transformed a previously unusable back patio into a shaded, fully‐equipped gathering space. The redesign features a custom fireplace, outdoor kitchen, and enhanced pool access, thereby increasing both the home's functionality and market appeal.
Leadership Reflections
"These awards reflect who we are as a team," said Dylan Martin, Co-Owner of Absolute Design Build. "Every project we take on is personal, not just a remodel, but a chance to improve a family's daily life through thoughtful design and military-level precision."
"We're honored to be recognized by our peers," added Thomas Burkman, Co-Owner. “Our collaboration with our partners, combined with the dedication of our in-house team, shows what's possible when craftsmanship and purpose come together."
