Founded: 1937
Founders: Warren and Myrtle Hitt
Famous Properties: HITT Contracting doesn’t own signature properties, but it has built more than its fair share.

Famous Members: Russell Hitt, Warren and Myrtle’s son, has been atop the construction giant since 1978. His son, Brett, and son-in-law, Jim Millar, are the co-presidents beneath him and figure to be his successors. That's Jim on the left and Brett on the right.
