About Us
Built On Commitment
With many of our employees being with us 15 years and longer, we consider each other to be like family. We are very proud that we have long term employees that grow with us through all the challenges and successes that we’ve encountered over the last 40+ years.
Tonda Construction began in 1978 with 3 partners, the name ’Tonda’ was chosen, ‘To’ for Tom – ‘n’ for Nick and ‘da’ for Dave. Over the next decade, the partners would change and in 1989, Tom Weller ultimately took over as the sole owner of Tonda Construction.
During the previous year, his son Darrin Weller started working full time in the field, and in just a few short years would transition into the office as Vice President and Project Manager. Around the same time, Dorothy Weller began as Human Resources Manager along with daughter Tracey, who handles the accounting.
Driven by dedication
Tom Weller was not against taking chances, and within 5 years, the company was doing a volume of $30,000,000 by 1993, up from $5,000,000 in 1989. Tonda now operates with a staff of 35 – 40 employees on a regular basis and is now doing a volume of $35,000,000+ per year.
Today, Tom is still at the helm of the company alongside his children, Tracey and Darrin, who will be keeping Tonda alive and well. With over 40 years of experience, Tonda has solidified its reputation as a leader through award-winning, cutting-edge construction projects spreading across several industries and sectors.
Over the last four decades, our dedication to our clients and our work has produced high-level workspaces, accredited by organizations such as L.E.E.D. (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) and more. Our team digs deep to uncover every way to make each project stand out from its competition and counterparts.
