Person Of The Year Award
We’re proud to share that Donny Mack of Beaver Builders was honored as the Person of the Year at the 2026 Sanger Area Chamber of Commerce Business Awards Luncheon.
Letter From Our CEO
I would like to take the opportunity to say thank-you for visiting our web site. I trust you will find a benefit from one or all of our services. Our attention to quality and pursuit of excellence flows in line with the outreach we perform both internally and externally.
We have been honored with many awards, certifications, and recognitions. As an introduction to our company I would like to highlight a couple that emphasize the ethics and integrity we work under. They are HomeAide/Home Builders care Achievement in Community Excellence Award and the National Association of Home Builders Graduate Master Builder of the Year. Both awards were received through nominations from our piers in the industry.
It has been said that in the arena of human life the honors and rewards fall to those who show their good qualities in action. The construction industry presents dynamic examples how multiple industry leaders show their good qualities in action with their honors and rewards being that of creating a safe and functional environment for individuals, families, and society to live and function within.
A company has an obligation to support the industry and neighborhoods in which they work and earn a living. This made it an easy decision to work with HomeAide/Home Builders Care on Phase 1 of the Denton County Friends of the Family project, one that helps provide a basic necessity for women and children in their time of need. It was very humbling to see the unselfish contributions made for such a worthy cause from many of our suppliers and contractors. From this project Beaver Builders received the HomeAide/Home builders Care Achievement in Community Excellence Award for 2008.
If a company is only willing to do what it has done in the past, then it will only be as good as it was in the past. We have an obligation to learn as much as possible about building science, technology, and processes so that we may effectively serve our clients, the industry, and the public.
I believe continual education and outreach with industry leaders paves the way for excellence within our company. From efforts of promoting industry education, training, and certifications, I was awarded the NAHB National Graduate Master Builder of the Year for 2008. This honor is awarded to one builder in the nation each year by the National Association of Home Builders.
We look forward to assisting you in becoming another exceptionally satisfied client after you experience the personal attention and results our team of professionals provides. Finally, remember to live a good, honorable life, helping others along the way. Then when you get older and think back, you can enjoy it a second time. Thank-you for visiting our web site.
Sincerely,
Donny Mack, President / CEO
Mack Professionals, Inc. / Beaver Builders
Why Beaver Builders, The Story Behind The Name
I have been asked many times how we came up with our business name so I thought I would share the story and history behind “Beaver Builders”. Similar to many other businesses, “Beaver Builders” started from a long family tradition of home builders and remodelers. Many influencers impacted our decision not to name the construction business after the Mack family name.
We have a shadow box in our office with a picture of my grandfather in his cabinet shop in Southeastern Oklahoma along with his hammer and folding measuring stick. This reminds us we are part of a long history of craftsmen.
After graduating Frank Phillips college, I studied marketing at Texas Tech. My classes instilled on me the need for a company to have a logo, something the public could recognize and relate to our business. Business classes at The University of North Texas enforced the concept of team building and ownership in the company. I believed it would be difficult to perceive ownership of a company named after an individual.
Taking all this into consideration, we were sitting around the kitchen table brainstorming on the basics of our business, the name being one of the more important decisions. We wanted a name we could base a logo from that related to what we offered the public. Due to its determination and ingenuity to build homes for their families, we decided on the “Beaver”. We added the tool box to carry all the tools of the trade, the sledge hammer for our willingness to take on the difficult jobs, and the hardhat for the protection of our most valuable resources, our team members.
Our company was not built by an individual, but a vast amount of team members all working together to build the most durable, energy efficient, and functional home possible. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you on custom building the “Home” of your dreams.
Let’s Make Your Dream Home a Reality . . .
Excellence and Professionalism
As home ownership is a cherished tradition, it is also the single largest financial commitment that most families make. This is why we build all major projects with the utmost quality ensured by engineering, inspecting, and testing throughout the process. To help enhance the building process for our residential clients, Beaver Builders utilizes a cloud based, user friendly project management software which includes a smart phone app for ease of communicating during and after the construction of your new home. We also will present you with a personalized Homeowners Manual which covers areas including homeowner orientation, closing on your home, and caring for your home.
Graduate Master Builder
Donny has earned the recognition of becoming one of only a hand full of builders nationwide to attain a Graduate Master Builder (GMB) designation, identifying him as one of the building industry’s top professionals. The Home Builders Institute, the education and training arm of the National Association of Home Builders, administers the GMB program. GMB candidates complete an intensive series of courses in business management and construction processes highlighting the newest trends and technology in the building industry.
Donny is also one of only a handful of Instructors for the NHB certification program and is charged with training other builders, remodelers, and associates.
Hugh Prather Award
In 2019, the Dallas Builders Association (DBA) awarded the Hugh Prather Trophy to Donny Mack of Mack Professionals/Beaver Builders. This award is the highest honor bestowed by the Association and has been presented annually since 1950 to a builder, remodeler or developer member who has done the most for the betterment of the North Texas region.
The Prather award was named after the Dallas Builders 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,” award but something that reflects honesty and integrity in the building industry.
Donny has been an extremely active member of the DBA for over two decades, serving as president of the association in 2008, as well as president of the Greater Denton Division and chairman of both the Education and Government Relations Committees. He is a Green Built Parade of Homes™ builder and a long-time supporter of the Boy Scouts of America.
Donny served as the Builder Captain for the Association’s HomeAid project to build a facility for victims of domestic abuse for the Denton County Friends of the Family. He also assisted Denton ISD in the design and criteria for the LeGrone Advanced Technology Complex, a state-of-the-art technology center that provides high school students with professional training to prepare them for tomorrow’s high-demand careers. Donny’s team also built an energy efficient ICF home and donated the net proceeds to the Technology Complex.
Donny is passionate about education. He holds several professional certifications in both local and national associations. He has been honored three times as Designee of the Year by the Dallas BA and has been recognized by the National Association of Home Builders as Graduate Master Builder of the Year. He served on the National Board of Governors for the Certified Graduate Remodeler program for more than 10 years and chaired the National Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist Board of Governors.
He is not only a veteran instructor at the Dallas BA, in 2018 he became an NAHB Master Instructor, an achievement that only 12 other individuals in the entire nation have attained. Donny often says that “anyone who makes a living in this industry has a moral obligation to give back to that industry.”
National Builder Designee of the Year Award
The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Designees and Educator of the Year awards honor housing professionals who have displayed notable professionalism as NAHB designation holders and those who have excelled in teaching NAHB education courses. “These home building industry professionals are true leaders in their respective fields,” said NAHB Education Committee Chair Joanne Theunissen, CAPS, CGP, CGR. “They are committed to staying on top of current trends and improving their own skills, which sets an example for their fellow industry professionals.”
Donny Mack, CAPS, CGP, CGR, GMB, is president and CEO of Mack Professionals/Beaver Builders in Sanger. As a 30-year veteran of the Dallas home building industry, Donny believes in giving back and playing an active role at the local, state, and national levels of the industry. He has also held various leadership positions within the industry, including the Dallas BA president in 2008. Leading his business by example, Donny’s approach to education is no different; he’s a firm believer in gaining skills that help him succeed in everything he does. Donny holds four NAHB designations and frequently attends classes to gain new insight. He is also an NAHB Master Instructor for professional designation courses. He was the recipient of the 2019 Hugh Prather Award, the highest honor bestowed by the Dallas BA.
NAHB Education recognizes a Designee of the Year for its various professional designations. The awards honor builders, remodelers and other industry professionals who actively hold NAHB designations and promote the value of NAHB designations among clients, colleagues, builder’s associations, media and across the industry.
Personalized Approach
To ensure the highest quality of work, Beaver Builder undertakes the construction of a limited number of projects (Custom Home, Remodel, and Accessiblity) each year. Our priority is to exceed the client’s expectations. Beaver Builders is committed to our clients. We feel the best way to build a truly custom project unique for each customer’s needs is by not limiting customers to specific sets of floor plans, elevations, accessories, or locations.
