Company Description:
Since its founding, James McHugh Construction Co. has earned its reputation as a builder of landmark, one-of-a-kind structures. McHughs success is grounded in the companys dedication to the success of its clients, its people, and the McHugh heritage. McHughs mission has always been promoting a seamless and positive project experience with excellence and innovation.
The company was founded in 1897 by James D. McHugh and by the 1920s was established as a general contractor noted for its elaborate masonry work. As it grew with the city, McHugh developed its specialties: high-rise concrete construction and complex, large-scale projects for both the private and public sectors.
McHughs leadership applies to its people as well as its structures. The company was the first in Chicago to bring minorities into the ironworkers' union and first to enter a joint venture with a minority contractor. It is not uncommon for laborers to move up the ladder through the organization; conversely, almost every corporate employee has spent time working in the field.
With a rich tradition of excellence, innovation and commitment to people, McHugh will continue to be a leader in the construction industry.
