The Levy Company

What The Levy Company does

The Levy Company is a heavy-highway and commercial electrical construction contractor headquartered in Selma, Texas, serving south and central Texas markets including San Antonio, Austin, Corpus Christi, and the Rio Grande Valley. Founded in January 2000 by Harry H. Levy, IV and John T. West, the company originally began as a telecommunications infrastructure contractor supporting DSL coverage expansion before pivoting in fall 2001 into highway signage, lighting, traffic signals, and traffic management construction and maintenance. Its core service portfolio spans five areas: traffic signal installation and maintenance, large highway sign installation, roadway illumination, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), and, since 2018, commercial electrical services.

The business model is project-based, revenue generated through direct bidding on government infrastructure contracts and direct enterprise sales to commercial construction clients. The company is prequalified with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), which gates access to state roadway contracts, and it also pursues municipal transportation authority work. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific with no publicly disclosed tiers. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales through a dedicated bids function, with the primary customer segment being government transportation authorities and a secondary segment in commercial construction. There is no product, software, or API layer; the company competes on skilled-trade execution, regulatory qualification, and reputation.

The company has grown from four employees at inception to over 200 across its Texas markets and won the Alamo Texas Workforce Commission Small Employer of the Year award in 2022. In January 2025 it was acquired by Florida-based Traffic Management Solutions (TMS), a transportation-market specialty contractor founded in 2013, converting from The Levy Company, Inc. to The Levy Company, LLC while retaining its brand, leadership, offices, and contracts.
