Meet the VP of Hueber Homes

For Marc Hueber, homebuilding has never simply been a career. It's always been part of life. He and his brother Andy grew up spending summers working on Hueber Homes' jobsites, learning the business their parents, John and Felicia Hueber, started in 1986. Marc remembers being fascinated by watching skilled carpenters take a pile of materials and transform it into a house, a deck or whatever idea his dad had happened to sketch on a napkin that morning.

That early appreciation for how things are built eventually became a career spent learning the business from the field up. Today, Marc serves as Vice President/Chief Operating Officer, leading the operational and construction side of Hueber Homes. Turning each homeowner's plans and ideas into something real.

Where the Action Happens

As VP/COO, Marc oversees the field work, production and construction operations behind Hueber Homes. His experience across field management and production gives him an understanding of not only how a home should be built, but how people, schedules, trades and thousands of individual details have to work together throughout the process. And while his responsibilities extend well beyond the jobsite today, the field is still where Marc feels most at home.

The field is where the action and excitement is. I enjoy being fully immersed in the physical project.

That hands-on perspective also gives Marc a deep appreciation for the craftspeople behind every Hueber home. Building in Cincinnati means working through heat, cold, rain, snow and everything in between. Marc believes it's easy to underestimate just how demanding the work can be and how much skill goes into performing at a high level through every season.

The Details Set the Standard

Walk into a home with Marc and one of the first things he'll notice is the fit and finish, how well the details have actually been executed. For him, it's hard to beat a beautifully completed interior trim job. Those finishing details may come toward the end of construction, but Marc believes they communicate something much bigger about the home. The precision, care and craftsmanship behind them set the tone for the overall level of quality.

That attention to execution carries through his role at Hueber Homes. Marc helps coordinate the many moving parts behind every project...From the team in the field to the trusted trade partners and craftsmen contributing their expertise along the way. His focus is making sure the vision established during planning isn't lost once construction begins.

The Best Projects Are Collaborations

Years of experience have also taught Marc that being an expert doesn't mean having all the answers.

You can learn a lot by listening to and learning from the customers. Don't assume that because they aren't in the industry they don't have good ideas. The best projects are successful collaborations.

That philosophy is an important part of what Marc believes sets Hueber Homes apart: personal attention to every project.

Custom homebuilding isn't simply about selecting different finishes or fixtures. It's about understanding what is important to the people who will actually live in the home and finding the best way to bring those ideas to life.

Marc especially enjoys seeing the one space a homeowner is most excited about. It might be a library, a kitchen, a sports court, a man cave or something completely unique. He doesn't have a favorite because, for him, the interesting part is seeing what makes a home personal to each client.

Plan Early. Build Better.

With so many decisions involved in building a custom home, Marc's advice to future homeowners is straightforward: study and understand your plans, and work through as many details as possible before construction begins.

Thoughtful planning on the front end can help minimize drastic changes later, allowing the team in the field to focus on executing the plan efficiently and maintaining the quality everyone expects.

It's also where Marc and Andy's roles naturally complement one another. Andy works closely with clients during the early planning, design and development stages, helping define where a project is going. Marc takes that vision into construction, coordinating the people and processes necessary to help ensure it gets there.

As brothers who grew up together and grew into the business together, they understand each other's strengths, when to give and take, and how their different perspectives can ultimately make a project stronger.

Building Something That Lasts

For all the schedules, problem-solving and details involved in Marc's role, what keeps him passionate about homebuilding is surprisingly simple.

It's very fulfilling to build something of lasting value and beauty.

It's the opportunity to collaborate with skilled people, continually learn something new and watch an idea gradually become a home. Even after years in the industry, Marc is quick to point out that while he's seen a lot, he'll never say he's seen it all.

That curiosity, combined with hands-on experience and an appreciation for craftsmanship, continues to shape the way he approaches every Hueber Homes project.

And when Marc isn't building? You're likely to find him exploring the mountains, spending time outdoors with his family, riding something on two wheels, motorized or human-powered and trying his best not to hit his golf ball to the right.
