Tim Jackson is Dallas Builders Association's
2014 Hugh Prather Award Honoree
TAB's Vice President/Secretary Tim
Jackson, CGB, GMB, CGP, of Tim Jackson
Custom Homes, Inc., was honored with
the prestigious 2014 Hugh Prather Award,
the highest honor bestowed by the Dallas
Builders Association. The award has been
presented annually for the past 64 years to
a builder, remodeler or developer who has
done the most for the betterment of the
North Texas region.
The 2014 presentation was made during
the Association’s Sept. 30 Board of
Directors meeting.
This award was named for the Association’s
first president, Hugh Prather, in hopes
that his principles would serve as a guide
for future generations of builders. It is not
meant to be simply a “Builder of the Year,”
but something more that reflects credit to
the building industry.
Jackson is very active at the local, state
and national association levels, working to
address issues facing the housing industry
that affect home builders and consumers
alike. Earlier this summer he worked
with the Dallas BA's charity of choice
Operation FINALLY HOME to build a
mortgage-free home in for U.S. Army Sgt.
Stephen Jackel.
Jackson served as the president of the
Dallas Builders Association in 2009 and is
a life director of NAHB. He has served on
the TAB board of directors since 2006 and
served as TAB area vice president in 2012-
2013. He has served as president of the
Dallas BA's North Dallas/Collin County
Division, its Membership Committee,
the Parade of Homes Committee and
the Government Relations Committee.
He chaired the Dallas Division's golf
tournament and led the construction of
two homes for Habitat For Humanity. He
has been honored with the Dallas BA's
APEX Award and twice as ARC Custom
Builder of the Year.
Mike Mishler of Mishler Builders, the 2013 recipient
presents the award to Tim Jackson of Tim Jackson Custom Homes.
