T&W Corporation

What T&W Corporation does

T&W Corporation is a privately-held, Indianapolis-based design-build construction firm founded in 1968 by Noble Taylor and Buddy Wulf. The company operates three divisions — Design & Build, Church Solutions, and Facility Solutions — delivering single-source design and construction services to clients across Indiana and surrounding Midwest states. Its core technology is a proprietary three-stage design-build process (Discovery, Architecture, Construction) paired with team-driven value engineering and 3D modeling capabilities for visualization and quality control on data center and critical infrastructure projects. All projects are delivered under Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contracts with 100% of savings returned to the client and a two-year warranty, supported by LEED-certified staff, OSHA 30-hour certified field professionals, and Certified Church Consultants.

T&W generates revenue through one-time project-based construction contracts and ongoing facility solutions engagements. Pricing is project-specific, with disclosed project values ranging from approximately $477,250 (small cafe addition) to $18,900,000 (a 66,300 sq ft youth center) and cost per square foot ranging from roughly $73 to $349 depending on project complexity. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, executed by a small named team of project developers covering both commercial and church verticals, supplemented by a strong referral network. Customer segments are diversified across churches and religious organizations, commercial and industrial (retail, restaurant, petroleum, automotive), healthcare (hospitals, medical offices, diagnostic imaging, senior living), education (K-12, childcare), multi-family residential, and critical infrastructure including data centers. The company is Top 25 in Indiana general contractor rankings and is recognized as a Best Places to Work in Indiana employer.

Ownership is management-led under CEO Steve Shehorn (joined 1988, CEO since 2003) and President Andrew Huey, with no disclosed institutional investors, private equity backing, or M&A activity. The firm has 11-50 employees and is privately held with no subsidiaries, funding rounds, or public listing. Strategic focus is on deepening the church and critical infrastructure verticals within the existing Indiana/Midwest footprint rather than geographic expansion.
