What Timberlake Construction does

Timberlake Construction is a privately held, family-owned general contracting and construction management firm headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Founded in 1976 by David B. Timberlake and currently led by Bryan Timberlake, the company has operated for more than 40 years delivering construction services across Oklahoma and surrounding states. Its portfolio spans more than ten verticals including civic and municipal, educational, healthcare, hospitality and multi-family, industrial, public safety and law enforcement, retail, sports and entertainment, tribal nations, and spiritual/religious facilities, with project scale ranging from small renovations to signature builds such as the Will Rogers World Airport Terminal Expansion and the Oklahoma City Zoo Exhibition Africa (listed on the National Register of Historic Places).

The company operates three core service lines: preconstruction planning (cost estimating, scheduling, feasibility analysis), general contracting, and construction management delivered "concept to completion." Underlying technical capability rests on industry-standard construction methods, LEED-certified sustainable building practices, and historical preservation expertise, rather than proprietary technology, software platforms, or AI-driven tooling. The firm has accumulated more than 20 industry awards from AGC Oklahoma, ABC, AIA, CSI, ENR, and the U.S. Green Building Council.

Revenue is generated project-by-project through two primary channels: competitive bidding (formal RFP/bid processes for public sector projects including government, education, and municipal clients) and negotiated contracts (with repeat commercial clients and tribal nations). Contract structures appear to be fixed-price or cost-plus based on project scope, with no published unit pricing. The customer mix is dominated by public-sector and institutional buyers (educational institutions and government/municipal are explicitly primary segments), with additional exposure to healthcare, corporate, religious, and entertainment venues, creating moderate concentration risk tied to government capex cycles.
