A CENTURY
IN THE MAKING.
The Woolsey family's roots in construction trace back to a long line of builders, surveyors, and craftsmen. John Woolsey's father owned Woolsey Surveying and worked in civil engineering, laying the technical and ethical foundation that John would later carry into one of the most ambitious projects in American history.
John Woolsey, father of Rod Woolsey and grandfather of Elijah Woolsey, served as one of the prime construction managers on the California Aqueduct, one of the largest public works projects in American history. Built between 1963 and 1973 as part of California's State Water Project, the 444-mile aqueduct cost roughly $2–3 billion at the time, about $20–30 billion in today's dollars. John's leadership on this landmark infrastructure established the Woolsey family's legacy in construction, project management, and building things that serve generations.
Rod Woolsey was a builder and craftsman. He founded Integrity Builders in the early 1980s, a company that later included his sons, Eli and Leon Woolsey. The father-son team worked together on many projects throughout the decade and into the 90s, forging the foundation of everything Woolsey is today.
Woolsey as it is today was founded by Eli Woolsey during his tenure at Texas State University in San Marcos. From a dorm room to a regional leader in design-build construction, the company was built on a relentless commitment to quality and client relationships.
Woolsey began the design and planning of their current headquarters in New Braunfels, which has become a local landmark known as City View. The company now employs over 30 full-time professionals, each bringing unique skills in project management, design, cost estimating, accounting, and construction administration.
With offices in New Braunfels and Fredericksburg, Woolsey has become known for designing and constructing iconic buildings that blend into the natural landscapes of Central Texas, honoring cultural architectural influences and the history of local communities. Over $250M in completed projects. Hundreds of satisfied clients. One family's legacy.
