Tim Jackson, GMB, CGB, Owner/President

After graduating from Texas Tech University with a BBA in Finance, Tim decided the corporate world of banking was not for him.  After all, he put himself through school as a trim carpenter and was intrigued with new home construction.  He accepted a position with a volume builder and began to learn the business.  For the next ten years he worked in various superintendent and construction management positions for both volume and custom home builders in the Dallas area. 

Tim formed his own company, Tim Jackson Custom Homes, Inc. in September 1996.  Tim is involved in all aspects of the construction process of each new home from helping customers select a lot and design their plans, to the final walk-through with each homeowner.

Tim currently serves as the President of the Home Builders Association of Greater Dallas (HBA). He is also on the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee. He has served as the Vice President/Secretary, First Vice President and Membership Chairperson for the HBA and in the positions of President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer of the North Dallas/Collin County Division of the HBA.

Tim is active in the Builder 20 Club Program through the National Association of the Home Builders Association (NAHB), where he is the past President of the Dream Builders Club. He is a member of BUILDPAC, the NAHB Political Action committee and the Austin Club of HOMEPAC, the Texas Association of Builders (TAB) Political Action Committee. In addition, he serves on the Board of Directors for the NAHB and TAB.

In April 2003 Tim became one of only 300 professional builders nationwide to attain a Graduate Master Builder (GMB) designation identifying him as one of the building industry's top professionals. To become a GMB, a builder must have attained the Certified Graduate Builder (CGB) designation with the NAHB which requires the completion of 54 hours of continuing education in homebuilding, an intensive series of five, six-hour courses on business management techniques, and the newest trends and technology in the building industry.

In 2009 Tim received his Certified Green Professional (CGP), an exclusive designation offered by the NAHB designed to teach building industry professionals strategies for incorporating green building principles into homes using cost-effective and affordable options. The CGP designation requires that graduates meet prescribed standards of practice, possess a minimum of two years building industry experience, complete comprehensive education curriculum, and pledge to uphold the program’s code of ethics.

 

Danny has worked in the custom home industry for the past ten years as a security system installer, owner of a small audio/video company and then construction manager. He joined Tim Jackson Custom Homes in January 1999. His attention to detail has made him a valuable asset to Tim Jackson Custom Homes. Danny is involved in the day-to-day business of the home construction through coordination of trades people, vendors and homeowners.
