What Okland Construction does

Okland Construction is a privately-held, family-owned general contractor and construction manager founded in 1918 and headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. The company delivers commercial, institutional, and government construction projects across the Intermountain West, Southwest, and Mountain States through five regional offices in Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, and Hawaii. Its service portfolio spans construction manager at risk (CMAR), design-build, lump-sum general contracting, pre-construction consulting, self-performed concrete and specialty trades, and virtual design and construction (VDC) using Building Information Modeling for clash detection and coordination. The firm targets a vertical mix of healthcare, higher education, hotel/resort, industrial, municipal/government, office, retail, and sustainable/green-building clients, and has delivered a track record of large, complex, and LEED-certified projects.

Okland pursues work through a direct enterprise field-sales model, bidding projects with owners, architects, and developers rather than through distribution or third-party channels. It supplements internal capabilities with strategic joint ventures (notably Austin Okland Aviation for the $740 million Salt Lake City Airport North Concourse) and technology partnerships (Procore, Building Connected) for project management and trade-partner prequalification. Revenue is generated on a project-by-project, custom-quoted basis with no standardized pricing. The customer base includes Adobe, Nu Skin, Zions Bank, ARUP Laboratories, eBay, the General Services Administration, and the City of Salt Lake City, reflecting a mix of enterprise technology, consumer products, financial services, healthcare, and government buyers.

The company is led by CEO Bill Okland and President Brett Okland and has begun formalizing talent and governance infrastructure, including the August 2024 hiring of its first Chief People Officer and a May 2026 expansion of ownership to employees while remaining family-led. The firm does not disclose revenue, has no disclosed venture or private-equity backing, and operates exclusively through organic growth and joint ventures.

Direct peers

• Swinerton: 100% employee-owned U.S. general contractor with comparable service lines including CMAR, design-build, BIM/VDC, and self-perform capabilities. Comparable on ownership structure and segment breadth (commercial, healthcare, hospitality, civic), and an instructive benchmark given its successful nationwide ESOP model.
• Big-D Construction: Salt Lake City-based regional general contractor with a comparable Mountain West footprint and similar market mix in commercial, industrial, healthcare, and office construction. Most directly comparable peer given overlapping geographies, project types, and family/privately-held ownership profile.
• DPR Construction: Employee-owned national general contractor recognized for technical/complex projects (healthcare labs, advanced tech facilities) and heavy BIM/VDC adoption. Comparable on tech-enabled delivery, sustainability emphasis, and complex-project execution, though at national scale.
• Layton Construction: Utah-headquartered general contractor operating across the Intermountain West with similar service lines in design-build, CMAR, and commercial/institutional construction. Competes head-to-head with Okland for many of the same healthcare, higher-ed, and office opportunities in Utah and Arizona.

• McCarthy Building Companies: Large U.S. general contractor with established Southwest/Mountain States presence and deep portfolio in healthcare, higher education, and sustainable/LEED-certified buildings. Directly comparable on delivery methods (CMAR, design-build) and segment exposure, though at materially larger scale.
• Barton Malow: Mid-large U.S. general contractor with strong sports/stadium and aviation portfolios and an established Southwest presence. Direct peer on complex civic/infrastructure-adjacent work, and a verified partner via the $178M Phoenix International Raceway JV.

Broad incumbents

• Turner Construction: Largest U.S. general contractor with nationwide healthcare, higher-ed, and aviation practices. Competes with Okland for institutional and large commercial work in the Mountain West as a broad incumbent, with materially greater scale and bonding capacity.

Emerging players
