Today, over 40 years later, John M. Howard, GBI continues to operate the company as its president, primarily in charge of land development, finances and construction. He has surrounded himself with professionals who ensure that his quest for a quality product and superior service is maintained. The builder-supts have a combined 80 years of building experience. In 2003, W. Lindsay Walker joined the John Howard team as Chief Operating Officer. Walker, a Georgia Tech graduate has over 30 years of experience in the home building, development industry. Our company is actively engaged in ongoing professional research in both new land purchases and in plan development for the benefit and pleasure of the home owner.
