Originally concentrating on seismic retrofits and general construction, in the early years, the Thompson team completed several projects for non-profit organizations. As our experience continued to broaden in scope, our emphasis shifted to the public works arena. We have been awarded numerous contracts for civic centers, parking structures, fire stations, schools, and libraries.

In the last fifteen years, we have also developed expertise in building large-scale multifamily condominium buildings in urban environments.
