About Bill

Bill McHugh is a fourth generation builder; it’s got to be in his blood. Bill’s passion for building started as a young boy working with his father building homes from the ground up. However, his father insisted that he not go into the construction industry. So, Bill decided to take a different direction in life by enlisting in the Air Force only to discover technology and another opportunity to build.

After the Air Force Bill went back to school to study technology and was quickly hired by one of the largest technology companies in the world, IBM. Bill ventured out with a small group of partners and started a small technology research and development company in Austin, Texas. In the mid to late 90’s, Bill’s company was developing web applications for Microsoft, who at the time did not have any web presence. He spent the next couple of years working with high tech startups raising capital and heading up a development department for an online pharmaceutical company.

In the mid 90’s Bill started a small construction company. Once he decided to start his construction career Bill felt education was essential to be in the construction industry so, that was his first goal. He attended the University of Illinois to study passive home design. Bill sat on the National Green Build subcommittee in Washington D.C., became a member of the National Association of Home Builders, and is nationally certified in the construction industry. He is an active member of Texas Association of Builders, and was the president of Austin Home Builders Remodeling Council for 5 years. Bill helped build the remodeling association, which became nationally recognized.

Bill’s deep rooted values in faith, family, and community have resulted in his involvement as secretary and treasurer of the Mitte Foundation, a non-profit family foundation focused on education. Bill also headed up their International Habitat for Humanity program taking students around the world. For over five years Bill helped Habitat for Humanity with Jimmy Carter builds in Mexico, rebuilding an apartment complex in Romaine, and sustainable building in New Zealand. Bill currently sits on the Family Elder Care and Lyons Garden boards where he can better understand our aging populations needs, and how to help make their homes a safer place.
