McGough Construction
“McGough’s rich history dates back to mid-19th-century Ireland. The McGough family immigrated to America in the late 1800s, bringing with it a long-standing practice of quality and craftsmanship. Incorporated in 1956 by Peter McGough and his six sons, the present firm builds on the family legacy.
Six successive generations of McGoughs have maintained and enhanced our construction expertise. Today, McGough enjoys an unparalleled reputation for delivering complex projects on budget and on time while maintaining our tradition of quality and craftsmanship.
Over the years we have served noteworthy companies and organizations of all types and sizes. Whether a project involves affordable housing units or major downtown office towers, McGough develops and cultivates a collaborative partnership with every client.”

McGough Construction is located at 400 E Broadway Ave, inside the Grand Pacific Center in downtown Bismarck.
