20 Years of Prioritizing People
For two decades, Thomas Construction Group has been building projects that matter—schools, hospitals, government buildings, senior living communities, and workplaces. But when we look back on our first 20 years, the structures themselves aren’t what define us. It’s the people.
Our story has always been about the individuals who show up every day with commitment, expertise, and care. It’s about the trust of our clients, the dedication of our partners, and the pride of the Thomas team.
A Culture That Defines Us
“What sets Thomas apart from our competition in this market and beyond is our people,” says Vince Tryer, Vice President of Operations.
At Thomas, the strength of our culture comes from putting people first. We are only as good as the teams on our jobsites. When we support one another, listen, and respect the lives we each bring to work, we create more than a company—we create a community. That’s why so many describe Thomas as a family.
Building Careers, Not Just Projects
Prioritizing people also means creating opportunity. “We love to build from within. We love to see people grow,” says Vince Tryer.
We’ve seen employees step into new roles, earn certifications, and grow into leaders—all within Thomas. Every achievement reflects our belief that when individuals thrive, the entire team thrives. Investing in our people ensures we’re not only delivering projects but shaping careers that last.
In construction, it’s easy to focus on budgets, schedules, and square footage. But at Thomas, success is measured differently—by the safety of our people, the trust of our clients, and the relationships we build along the way.
Every project is approached with care for the end users who will walk the halls, the patients who will heal, the students who will learn—and for the team who makes it possible. That mindset has shaped who we are: a company that delivers excellence while never losing sight of what matters most.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate 20 years, we do so with gratitude—for our people, our partners, our clients, and the communities we serve.
The next chapter will bring new challenges and opportunities, but our focus will not change. By continuing to put people first, we will keep building trust, strengthening communities, and creating lasting impact.
Always Building What Matters
We are proud of the buildings we’ve delivered, but we’re even prouder of the people who have built them. Here’s to 20 years of prioritizing people—and to the many more years ahead of building what matters, together.
