Tom Green & Company Engineers

What Tom Green & Company Engineers does

Tom Green & Company Engineers, Inc. (TGCE) is a privately held mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering consulting firm founded in 1985 in Austin, Texas by Thomas F. Green, P.E., LEED AP. The firm delivers MEP design, commissioning, sustainability consulting, master planning, construction support, troubleshooting, forensics, indoor air quality assessment, feasibility studies, and 3D/BIM services to public- and private-sector clients. Over its 40-year history TGCE has completed more than 1,600 projects across Texas and five additional U.S. states (New Mexico, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Virginia), serving higher education, healthcare, K-12, civic/municipal, historic preservation, detention, commercial, and residential customers. Named clients include the University of Texas at Austin, Texas Tech University, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Citizens Medical Center, Mission Regional Medical Center, Austin Independent School District, City of Austin, and Ronald McDonald House Charities of Austin.

TGCE's technical platform is built around integrated 3D/BIM and VDC workflows with clash detection and Level of Development model management, supported by LEED-accredited sustainability design and an in-house commissioning practice with ASHRAE CPMP-certified staff. The firm operates a project-based professional services revenue model, generating income from consulting fees on design, construction support, and post-construction commissioning engagements, with public-sector work sourced through competitive procurement and private-sector work sourced through established relationships and referrals. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed. The firm is structured as a "Company of Owners" with employee profit-sharing and stock ownership, and principals maintain active involvement on every project. Go-to-market relies on industry association memberships (ASHRAE, ASPE, TSPE, BCxA, USGBC, IEEE, IES, NFPA), project portfolio visibility, client testimonials, and professional referrals rather than traditional demand-generation marketing. A master working agreement with TG&W Engineers, Inc. provides capacity overflow for projects exceeding in-house resources.
