History
Tellepsen is a family-owned-and-operated company founded in Houston in 1909 by Tom Tellepsen. Four successive generations of Tellepsens have led both construction management and general contracting for commercial and industrial projects. The company and family have played an integral role in creating much of Houston’s historical landscape.
Commercial building markets served include churches, educational facilities, healthcare complexes, hospitality and recreational facilities, interiors, office buildings, parking garages and data centers.
Industrial markets that have relied on Tellepsen experience and expertise include process and manufacturing plants, compressor stations, terminals and district energy.
