About Us

At Okland, we exist to create remarkable experiences — not just through the projects we deliver, but in the way we show up for our clients, partners, and each other every day.

We believe that how we build is just as important as what we build, and our purpose is rooted in people.

Whether it's a trusted partner we’ve worked with for decades or a new team member stepping onto their first jobsite, we approach every relationship with care, clarity, and commitment.

We’re a commercial general contractor and construction management company with more than 1,200 team members and a track record of delivering some of the most complex and high-profile projects in the country— from semiconductor and healthcare facilities to professional sports venues and high-end hospitality.

Founded in 1918 in Salt Lake City, we’ve grown steadily for over a century— now with offices in Utah, Arizona, and Idaho—and we’re entering one of the most exciting chapters in our company’s history.

We’re building more than projects. We’re building careers, capabilities, and momentum for the future.
