Our Story

The TCG leadership team has over 100 years of collective expertise at both ends of the construction spectrum - from nimble startups to large, publicly traded firms. Along the way, we’ve managed a diverse portfolio of complex builds, including numerous $50-$100 million projects for major national players. These experiences honed our skills and taught us something pivotal: success in construction isn’t about the size of the company—it’s about the caliber of the team.

While working together on high-stakes projects, we came to a realization. Despite the sprawling teams and multi-layered processes of large firms, the actual execution often came down to a handful of highly capable people. We saw firsthand that lean, skilled teams could outperform bloated organizations when it came to speed, cost-efficiency, and quality.

That insight became the foundation of Terrapin Construction Group.

We launched Terrapin with a clear mission: to bring the precision, professionalism, and national reach of a large firm - without the overhead. Since our inception, we’ve delivered design-build construction projects across 38 states, consistently meeting aggressive timelines and strict budgets. Our agile, expert-driven approach allows us to provide our clients with big-firm capabilities and small-team attention.

At Terrapin, we’re not just building structures - we’re building trust, efficiency, and lasting partnerships across the country.
