Family Built.
Family Operated.
Tommy Wells Construction was established in 1956 by Tommy and Doris Wells. Starting with airports, roadways, and manufacturing sites, the company grew into a leader in South Central Kentucky’s industrial excavation sector.
As competition increased in roadway and airport construction, TWCI sharpened its focus on industrial and manufacturing sites — and by the end of the 1990s had become the go-to excavation partner in the region.
In 2007, all four of Tommy and Doris’ children purchased the company. Today, Andy leads day-to-day operations, with Trina and Vanessa managing accounting and marketing. Third-generation family members — TA and Jackson — now serve in key leadership roles, with TA heading project management and estimating, and Jackson leading field operations, ensuring TWCI’s best years are still ahead.
