Spotlight on Hill & Wilkinson General Contractors
Building a Vision.
As a general contractor for over half a century, we have steadily grown from a small business to a respected industry leader providing a full range of services in a variety of markets. From a simple maintenance project to the design-build of a fast-track facility, we deliver our projects with an attitude of service and accountability. With the desire to maintain meaningful relationships with our clients, we endeavor to do things the right way and to bring trust, honesty, and good, old-fashioned hard work to every project.
A Solid Foundation.
Luther Hill founded the firm in 1968 on the belief in strict standards for quality and safety. He gained national attention for building big business projects with a small business attitude. Greg Wilkinson and Fritz McKinstry carried on his legacy when they bought the company in 1985. Now, Mike Oswald, CEO, is leading the firm into the future with a commitment to retaining the culture and principles that have been central to our success. Many things have changed as we have evolved into a larger firm, but our philosophy and core values have remained the same - respect, quality, safety, commitment, training, fun, and community.
Our Services.
Hill & Wilkinson offers a full range of general contracting services under a variety of contractual arrangements including General Contractor, Construction Manager at Risk, Design-Build, or IPD (Integrated Project Delivery). Additional services include BIM/VDC coordination, MEP commissioning, and LEED management.
Empowering Our People.
Hill & Wilkinson’s ethical, forward-thinking workforce continues to build our reputation as a safe, high-quality construction firm. We are consistently ranked among the top 400 contractors in the US by Engineering News-Record and are regularly voted one of the top 10 “Best Places to Work” in Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin. Our assets are managed by the people who know our work best. We are invested in every project we take on and are passionate about achieving results that exceed expectations.
Cyndi Amador, Hill & Wilkinson's CFO, serves on the Chamber's Board of Directors.

City Giving Away 500 Trees For Planting By Residents
To help replace the trees lost due to the severe weather event on May 28, 2024, the City Council is launching Richardson Replants. This program will help restore the city's tree canopy, which offers both shade and beauty throughout the community. The amount of damage sustained resulted in more than 260,000 cubic yards of vegetative debris, equivalent to the amount of material collected over four years of standard Brush and Bulky Item Collection.
This fall, 500 trees will be available, with three different species: Desert Willow, Chinkapin Oak and Peach. Spring giveaways are anticipated to offer an additional 500 trees and may offer other species, depending on availability from local nurseries. The fall and spring planting periods were chosen as they are the best time of year for establishing new trees.
