Thutmose I organized great building projects during his reign, including many [[Egyptian temple|temples]] and tombs, but his greatest projects were at the [[Temple of Karnak]] under the supervision of the architect [[Ineni]].<ref name="Breasted 41">Breasted (1906) p.41</ref> Before Thutmose, Karnak probably consisted only of a long road to a central platform, with a number of shrines for the solar bark along the side of the road.<ref name="Grimal 300">Grimal (1988) p.300</ref> Thutmose was the first king to drastically enlarge the temple. He had the fifth pylon built along the temple's main road, along with a wall around the inner sanctuary and two flagpoles to flank the gateway.<ref name="Grimal 300"/> Outside of this, he built a fourth pylon and another enclosure wall.<ref name="Grimal 300"/> Between pylons four and five, he had a [[hypostyle hall]] constructed, with columns made of [[Cedrus|cedar]] wood. This type of structure was common in ancient Egyptian temples, and supposedly represents a papyrus marsh, an Egyptian symbol of creation.<ref>Shaw (2003) p.168</ref> Along the edge of this room he built colossal statues, each one alternating wearing the crown of Upper Egypt and the crown of Lower Egypt.<ref name="Grimal 300"/> Finally, outside of the fourth pylon, he erected four more flagpoles<ref name="Grimal 300"/> and two obelisks, although one of them, which now has fallen, was not inscribed until [[Thutmose III]] inscribed it about 50 years later.<ref name="Breasted 41"/> The cedar columns in Thutmose I's hypostyle hall were replaced with stone columns by Thutmose III, but at least the northernmost two were replaced by Thutmose I himself.<ref name="Breasted 41"/> Hatshepsut also erected two of her own obelisks inside Thutmose I's hypostyle hall.<ref name="Grimal 300"/>

In addition to Karnak, Thutmose I also built statues of the [[Ennead]] at [[Abydos, Egypt|Abydos]], buildings at Armant, Ombos, [[Al-Hibah|el-Hiba]], Memphis, and Edfu, as well as minor expansions to buildings in Nubia, at Semna, Buhen, [[Aniba (Nubia)|Aniba]], and Quban.{{citation needed|date=March 2019}}

Thutmose I was the first king who definitely was buried in the [[Valley of the Kings]].<ref name="Shaw 289"/> Ineni was commissioned to dig this tomb, and presumably to build his mortuary temple.<ref name="Gardiner 179"/> His mortuary temple has not been found, possibly because it was incorporated into or demolished by the construction of Hatshepsut's mortuary temple at [[Deir el-Bahri]].<ref>Gardiner (1964) p.170</ref> His tomb, however, has been identified as [[KV38]]. In it was found a yellow quartzite sarcophagus bearing the name of Thutmose I,<ref name="Gardiner 176"/> but Thutmose III may have moved his body into the tomb of Hatshepsut, [[KV20]], which also contains a sarcophagus with the name of Thutmose I on it.<ref name="Shaw 289"/>
