In the late 1800’s a 15-year-old master stonemason, William Cameron, immigrated to the United States from Scotland. He eventually settled in Santee, CA to work in a blue granite stone quarry and literally carved out a life for future generations of the Cameron family. The corporate headquarters for TC Construction Co., Inc. are built on this land that has been home to the Cameron family for over 120 years.

Upon returning from their service during World War II in the late 1940’s, William Cameron’s sons, John and William, started Cameron Brothers Construction Co., Inc.

Terry Cameron, John’s son, grew up working for Cameron Brothers Construction Co. and in 1977 founded TC Construction Co., Inc.

Terry’s son Austin, who was born the year TC Construction was formed, is now the company president. Austin served as the 2023 president of the AGC San Diego Chapter.
