This endeavor showcased Brassey's commitment to renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure. In addition to his contributions as a contractor, Thomas Brassey also had connections with John More & Sons, Quarry Masters in Airdrie. Their advert highlighted their partnership and emphasized their shared values of quality craftsmanship and reliable service. Brassey's legacy extended beyond just being a contractor; he was also recognized for his architectural prowess.

His obituary served as a testament to his influential career and celebrated him as an innovator in construction methods and project management. From architectural drawings of residential flats to images capturing Shire Horses pulling Cartage Contractors Wagons, every aspect of Brassey's work reflected precision and attention to detail. Even bulldozers equipped with graders played a role under his supervision during projects like Nieman Farm near Vader in Lewis County, Western Washington back in 1939 – captured by Dorothea Lange. Thomas Brassey will always be remembered as more than just a contractor; he was an integral figure who shaped our built environment through ingenuity and determination.
