"Cumming Construction delivered our water treatment plant upgrade on schedule and within budget — no small feat given the complexity of the mechanical systems involved. Their crew was professional, communicated proactively throughout, and met every milestone we set. They're the first call for our next infrastructure project."
Karen Whitfield
Project Manager, City of Penticton
"The quality of Cumming's concrete forming is consistently excellent. On the Naramata water system upgrades, their tolerances were tight, their formwork was clean, and they understood the engineering requirements without needing hand-holding. Exactly what you want from a contractor on public infrastructure."
Dave McKenna
Infrastructure Engineer, Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen
"We brought Cumming Construction in for the concrete and mechanical scope on a mixed-use development in Summerland. Their coordination with our other trades was seamless — Tom's team understands how to work within a bigger project without creating bottlenecks. I'd hire them again without hesitation."
Sandra Horwath
Principal, Lakeview Development Group
"We've worked with Cumming Construction on three reservoir projects over the past decade. Their safety record is outstanding — zero lost-time incidents on our sites — and their crews are some of the most professional we've encountered. When it's critical infrastructure, reliability isn't optional. Tom's team delivers it."
Rob Pollock
Director of Operations, District of Summerland
"As the consulting engineer on several Okanagan water system projects, I've reviewed a lot of contractors' work. Cumming Construction stands out for their attention to detail on concrete placement and their understanding of what it takes to build a structure that'll perform for 50-plus years. Their design-build approach saved us significant time on the Oliver pump station project."
