About the Group

Developer. Operator.

Each business operates independently, serving its own clients, while also having the ability to work together across the group.

Our History

Three Decades
of Building

From a single venture in 1995 to a diversified group of companies — built through disciplined growth, not acquisition.

1995
Flags — First Venture
Flags marked the group's first commercial operation — establishing the foundation for future expansion under the leadership of George A. Laquis.
2000
TC International Contracting
TC International first began operations in Trinidad and Tobago in 2000 and has quickly evolved into one of the most respected and sought after construction, finishing, and property development companies in the country.
2006
Complete Storage Solutions
First expansion beyond construction. Self-storage, moving, and records management added as a standalone service business.
2010
Luxury Finishes
Entered premium interior finishing. Countertops, cladding, and surface materials for developers, architects, and private clients.
2013
Total Custom Woodworking
Added in-house millwork and cabinetry manufacturing. Custom kitchens, built-ins, and commercial fit-outs — all produced to specification.
2022
WhiteRock Property Management
Formalized property management under dedicated leadership. Community management, commercial operations, and vacation rental oversight across a growing portfolio.
2023
WhiteRock Realty
Launched the group's dedicated real estate sales and brokerage arm. Brings transaction expertise alongside development and management — a single point of contact for buyers, owners, and investors across the Caribbean.
Now
Six Companies. One Group.
