Since 1989

Weninger Construction History

The Weninger name has always been associated with construction in the Kelowna area.

Coming from a large construction family, Marlin learned the trade from his father Ron and in 1989 together they established Weninger Construction & Design Ltd. Marlin added his creativity in drafting and design to his father’s established reputation. Now Marlin and his family, Pauline, Shauna, Robyn, and Josette, carry on this family trade.

Weninger Construction & Design has always focused on community living and offering high quality construction at a reasonable price. This has led to the success of the company. Weninger Construction became known for their honesty, integrity, and quality projects.

In 1991, a family passion for skiing brought Weninger Construction’s attention to the then undeveloped potential of Big White Ski Resort. Weninger Construction became one of the first contractors to build a luxury ski chalet in the Snow Pine Estates subdivision. The company then spent the next decade building many of the unique, comfortable, and beautiful custom chalets that now comprise Snow Pine Estates, but we didn’t stop there. We are also proud to have designed and built the award winning 22 unit ski lodge at Big White called The Grizzly Lodge, which stands tall and picturesque alongside the Gondola. Weninger Construction has also worked on the incredible Feathertop Estates development and built many of the chalets in this prestigious Big White neighborhood.

Again, inspired by a love of a sport, Marlin Weninger then turned his creative and commercial efforts to another passion: golf. He completed a master planned community and designed an environmentally friendly 18-hole links course called Bell Mountain Golf Course, as well as the surrounding 650 home golf community called Bell Mountain Estates. Since selling this development, it has been renamed The Black Mountain Golf Course, surrounded by the beautiful Black Mountain Golf Community.

Weninger Construction continues to develop, design, and build in Kelowna and at Big White, including designing and building the Home of the Year, Snowpeaks Lodge, in the 2020 Okanagan Housing Awards of Excellence. We were nominated for four more Gold Awards in 2024 for our work at Big White, which Big White was excited to spread the word about too, in the categories of Excellence in Kitchen Design, Excellence in Creating an Interior Feature, Excellence in Single Family Detached Home, and Home of the Year, and are proud to have achieved Silver Awards for each of those nominations.

We have also branched out to complete projects in West Kelowna, Lake Country, and throughout the Okanagan. Weninger Construction has broad horizons, and our projects have also included a large, environmentally friendly, mixed residential and commercial development called Kenneth Park on Vancouver Island.

With a renewed focus on drafting and design, Marlin has put his experience to use in designing functional and well thought out spaces that are truly intelligent and intuitive to the needs of our clients.

The Weninger Construction team is proud that their hard work has earned the company a reputation throughout the Okanagan Valley for being ethical, excellent, and innovative.

Of course, as a true family-owned and run company with many longstanding relationships with the local community, the heart of Weninger Construction & Design Ltd. remains in Kelowna. With such an incredible collection of knowledge, and a personable administration team, many clients have come to us for our expertise. The company is still actively seeking development, design, build, and renovation projects in the Kelowna, Big White, and Okanagan areas, so contact our office today to talk to us about all of your contracting needs.
