A Legacy of Building Houston
The History of Thomson Enterprises
Rusty Thomson’s journey from steel erector to founder of Thomson Enterprises is a testament to his vision, perseverance, and commitment to excellence in the construction industry. Born out of humble beginnings, Thomson Enterprises began its journey alongside Rusty as he laid the foundation for what would become a cornerstone of Houston’s commercial landscape.
Early Years and Foundation (1969)
Rusty Thomson’s career in construction began as a steel erector, where he honed his skills and gained invaluable experience working on various projects across
Houston. It was during this time that the seeds of Thomson Enterprises were planted, as Rusty envisioned a company built on integrity, quality craftsmanship, and unwavering dedication to client satisfaction.
Founding Thomson Enterprises (1969-1973)
In 1969 Rusty Thomson took the bold step of founding Thomson Enterprises, laying the cornerstone for what would become a legacy in Houston’s construction industry. Armed with a wealth of experience and a passion for building, Rusty embarked on a journey to establish a company that would grow and flourish through good time and hard times; just like our founder.
Navigating Economic Challenges (1973-1980)
Thomson Enterprises faced its fair share of challenges as it navigated the ups and downs of the Houston economy beginning with the 1973 oil crises. Houston’s economy, which was heavily reliant on the oil industry, faced significant challenges, including job losses, declining investment, economic uncertainty, and a reduction in industrial building. Another downturn occurred in the late 1970s and early 1980s, culminating in the 1980s oil glut. This period was marked by oversupply in the oil market, declining oil prices, and a subsequent recession in the oil-dependent economies of Houston and other energy-producing regions. The collapse of oil prices had far-reaching consequences for Houston’s economy, leading to layoffs, bankruptcies, and a slowdown in economic growth.
​
It was during this time that Rusty expanded his knowledge base and scope from specialty trades of steel fabrication, erection, and concrete, into general contractor. From economic downturns to periods of rapid growth, Rusty’s steadfast leadership and strategic vision steered the company through turbulent times, reinforcing its resilience and commitment to delivering exceptional results.
Growth & Expansion (1981-2014)
Under Rusty Thomson’s guidance, Thomson Enterprises experienced steady growth and expansion, cementing its reputation as a trusted name in Houston’s construction scene. From commercial and residential projects to industrial developments, the company’s portfolio continued to diversify, reflecting Rusty’s adaptability and foresight.

Juston Thomson, Rusty’s son joined Thomson Enterprises after he graduated from college with a degree in Engineering Technology in Structural Analysis and Design, further expanding the strength, stability, growth, and technical expertise of Thomson Enterprises.

Under Rusty’s leadership, the company has embraced innovation, adopting cutting-edge technologies and construction techniques to deliver projects of unparalleled quality and value. Thomson Enterprises is proud of its Texas heritage. Our history shows that we have the stamina, focus and skill to stand the test of time.
