Much has changed since Team Construction Management began building and renovating houses in Westbank in 1975. If founder, David Wilson were around today, he would see a business that has been transformed by new technologies, construction methods, project types, and safety practices. We like to think that Team has grown into one of the leading construction firms in the Southern Interior of BC. One that has completed many unique and challenging projects.
Among all that is new, David Wilson would find one thing unchanged: Team’s commitment to building creative solutions, value, and relationships. Our mantra, “working together…winning together” clearly defines our core belief that we can only succeed if our customers achieve their goals.
Team’s experience spans a wide array of project types. We have never specialized in a particular market, simply because our work has been driven by the needs of the community. This flexibility has meant opportunities to build everything from luxury homes and estates to multi-family complexes, daycare centres, schools, churches and even fish ladders. When new work calls us beyond our home territory, we take our values with us. With prompt payment processes, safe jobsite practices and fair treatment, we build strong relationships and maximize local involvement for subcontractors and the community, wherever we work.
With headquarters in Kelowna, BC Canada, Team is a privately held company. While the majority of our work is negotiated, we also have extensive experience with Design-Build, Lump Sum Bid, and other delivery methods. In over 35 years of operations, we have never failed to complete a project or had a single demand placed upon our insurance company.
Built on a solid foundation of experience, meticulous attention to detail, superb workmanship and exceptional client care, Team Construction Management promises to be the only company for your residential, industrial or commercial construction needs.
With over 36 years of reputable service in the Okanagan, Team Construction Management will provide a collaborative, professional experience while working with you to create your world-class custom luxury home, commercial building or restoration project. Innovation and the use of industry-leading management tools allows Team Construction to be competitive, while adhering to high standards for safety and quality assurance.
Our TEAM will endeavour to promote sustainable building practices and environmental considerations in all of its operations and in the services we provide to our clients. Our mandate is to meet the goal of a more sustainable built environment and promote environmentally friendly business practices.

Using this approach, Team Construction Management acts in the capacity of agent for the owner/client rather than as an independent contractor. With this arrangement, the owner engages the trade contractors directly and thereby assumes much of the role and responsibility of the traditional general or prime contractor. Together with the consultants, we form a Construction Management Team, which works together from the pre-construction phase through to the completion of the project. Team Construction Management serves as your advisor and agent, providing site management and administrative and technical services solely for your benefit.

Aberdeen Hall Preparatory School is nearing the midpoint of a 10 year, 20 million dollar master campus build out and TEAM Construction has been there for every phase of the project. Gord Wilson’s vast background and knowledge has also saved us considerable amounts of money during the planning and construction phases.
Team Construction was recommended to me by friends who had used them on their own homes. Working with them for my home was a very good experience. They provided an exceptionally professional system of managing the project and brought to the construction, insights and suggestions as well as a strong team of trades. I would not hesitate in recommending them to other clients and friends for their own homes or projects.
In my years as a Salvation Army officer, I have worked with contractors in various building projects that total over $25 million. In the last 3 years since moving to Kelowna I have had the privilege of working with Gord Wilson on 4 projects and have found him and his team exceptional to work with. I highly recommend TEAM Construction. They are our contractor of choice.
As the Owner’s Representative and Project Manager for the Kelowna Heritage Train Station Project, it is with great pleasure that I am able to provide a letter of reference for TEAM Construction. I am a Structural Engineer, and have been working in the Building Construction Industry for over 18 years. The majority of my work experience has been with two of the largest General Contractors in Canada as well as a few years with a Consulting Firm, and I can attest that TEAM knows Construction Management as well as any company I have worked for or with. As soon as we brought TEAM on board, they quickly and proactively went through the drawings in conjunction with the existing site conditions, and not only identified problems that existed, they went the extra mile to suggest design solutions that worked. TEAM Construction also provided value engineering for our new building, which saved a significant amount of money, and sti
ll gave us a quality building that met all architectural and performance requirements. I was extremely impressed with the systems that TEAM has and the consistency in which they use them. From budgeting and tendering to change orders and monthly claims, TEAM’s paperwork is clear, concise and accurate. They have a safety program as good as any I have seen, and they managed the performance and budgets of all subtrades while maintaining a great relationship with everyone. I could go on, however, I can sincerely say that I have nothing but positive things to say about TEAM Construction. I would be more than happy to answer any questions or discuss further this letter of reference via phone call (403) 827-3832 or email: luciaryan@shaw.ca.
