TEMAC Editorial

By Brett Benning with Tim McCormac

Brett: What inspired you to get into custom home construction

Tim: I spent most of my life in construction, grew up on job sites with my father as soon as I could walk and learned how to build from custom homes to bridges. My dad Robert McCormac is a master builder of 40 years and started Temac Development, Inc. with a dream to build custom dream homes and projects for clients. So I took it into my own hands in 2003 and with the help of my dad, made it my own.

I started consulting and building for a smaller developer, producing 50 semi customs homes a year. By 2006 Temac Development had produced over 150 homes. In 2006 I hired my brother Brent McCormac as project manager to help with the future expansions in California, Nevada and Arizona. I also made my mom Paula Daniel, President of Temac Development and she has over 30 years of construction experience.

Brett: Where did you get your training from

Tim: My training started when I was a kid helping with my father’s projects and progressed after high school. I went on to college to become a graduate of the Del E. Webb School of Construction and Engineering College at Arizona State University. After that I landed an entry level position at Pulte Homes in Phoenix, Arizona. For the next five years I worked in all positions at Pulte Homes as an intern, learning all the internal workings of a large master builder in the office and out in the field.

Brett: What is your primary focus now

Tim: I want to continue to grow the luxury side of Temac. Because our attention to detail is so good, I think Custom Luxury Homes is the future of our company.

Brett: What projects have you done in the past couple years that our readers may have seen?

Tim: Most recently I built Arcadia Heights, which is a four home luxury development in the heart of Arcadia with Two Hawks Designs.

I have done other projects like Casa Sunba on Mill Avenue, Lush Cosmetics in Scottsdale Fashion Square mall and too many remodels to count throughout the valley.

Brett: What projects do you have coming up

Tim: I’m currently working on some Luxury Town Homes in Scottsdale, a distillery restaurant concept and best of all wake board park. I really don’t limit myself to what I can work on. I strive to be the best well-rounded builder.

Brett: What do attribute your success to?

Tim: Hard work, quality work and honesty.

Brett: I know that you are passionate about giving back to the community, what do you get involved with?

Tim: My company supports the Spark of Hope Foundation. Spark of Hope focuses on providing assistance directly to disabled children and their families who are not supported by traditional charitable programs.

Spark of Hope seeks out families who need help securing funds for special equipment, services, operations or treatments not covered by insurance or other programs.
