Joe McDaniel
Construction Company
Since 1971
After fighting in WWII
Joe McDaniel came back to the states and started his
construction career in 1946. His first job out of the Army
was with the Corps of Engineers. That is what brought him
from his native Mississippi the great state of Texas.
For the next 26 years
Joe was a Supervisor, Superintendent, and Forman for
companies such as H. B. Zachary, Howard Stitch (Stitching
Time), George Consolidated, and Austin Engineering
Company. In 1971 Joe decided to start his own business.
This was a time when there were not as many people in
Austin. As the city grew the demand for subdivisions and
homes grew as well. |

years Joe McDaniel Construction Company has built some 37
subdivisions in and around Austin. Underground utilities
were the mainstay behind the business. During the
subdivision building days the company cleared trees, built
streets, installed underground utilities, poured curb, paved
asphalt, crushed rock, and all of the excavation required
for building a neighborhood.
