About Us

The Erection Company History

Our History

The Erection Company (TEC) was founded in 1981 by Ironworker Adam Jones, Sr. From the start, TEC has been focused on erecting structural steel buildings all around the pacific northwest, primarily in Washington state but also venturing to Alaska, Oregon, Nevada, Hawaii, and California to work on state-of-the-art projects and make our mark on the world of steel erection. As TEC has grown, so have our projects. From sky scrapers and hospitals to stadiums and one-of-a-kind projects like Seattle’s Amazon Spheres, TEC does not shy away from a challenge. Check out our projects page for in-depth examples of our past and present projects.

Leadership

TEC has been in business since 1981, and our founder has been in the industry for over 50 years. Each of our superintendents brings 15-25 years of experience supervising ironworkers in the Puget Sound, and our Project Managers have a minimum of 10 years of experience in construction management. Our entire management team is proudly located in the Pacific Northwest.
