Founded in 1975 at Lake of the Ozarks, Thomas Construction began with the vision, sweat, and dreams of a few individuals to design and build well-constructed, beautifully designed Lake homes. Through dedication to a quality work ethic, in conjunction with a reputation for quality construction, Thomas Construction has become a leader in both commercial and high-end residential construction in the Midwest.
As our company has grown, we have focused on developing a work environment that attracts a staff with the common characteristics of integrity and commitment. Many members of our team have been with us for more than 15 years. This type of longevity is key because our clients know that the planning, development, and management of a project are more effective when the same people are available from beginning to end. We take great care in developing a team that will be committed to our projects and our purpose of producing quality homes and businesses for years to come.
We feel privileged that our industry peers and community have recognized our work by voting us “Best Construction Company” and “Best Remodeling Company at the Lake of the Ozarks” for eight consecutive years in the Lake Lifestyles Magazine annual survey. In 2016 we were also awarded “Best Architect at the Lake.”
Today our 50+ employees have completed hundreds of construction projects. We now assist clients all over the Midwest with general contracting, architecture, design/build, and construction management from our headquarters in Osage Beach, Missouri. Through our commitment to excellence, Thomas Construction has become one of the most successful and respected companies in the region. Over the years the construction industry has gone through many changes and profited immensely from innovations in equipment, safety, and technology, yet as in the beginning, we believe our most valuable assets are our people.
