Building the Sea to Sky Since 2009.
TM Builders was founded in Whistler, BC in 2009 by Tom McColm — a Red Seal-certified carpenter with a background in large-scale mining and industrial construction across Canada’s North. Tom started TM Builders with a straightforward conviction: that clients deserve complete transparency, honest communication, and workmanship built to last.
More than sixteen years later, TM Builders is one of the most experienced and established construction companies in the Sea to Sky Corridor. With a full-time team of more than 50 professionals, a purpose-built office and warehouse in Whistler, and over 385 completed projects — ranging from luxury custom homes to resort infrastructure, commercial buildings, and Net Zero developments — we have built a significant part of this community and remain deeply invested in it.
Three Values. Every Project.
Clients have 24/7 real-time access to their project budget, schedule, and site reports through our Construction Management Software. No surprises at invoice time.
Ask us anything and you will receive a straight, solution-based answer. We would rather have a difficult conversation early than allow a small problem to grow on site.
Doing it right the first time costs less in the long run — for the client and for us. Our reputation in this community has been built one project at a time over sixteen years.
Accreditations & Recognition.
TM Builders is a CHBA Qualified Net Zero Builder — accredited under the Canadian Home Builders’ Association Net Zero Home Labelling Program, one of the most rigorous energy performance accreditations available to residential builders in Canada. This designation recognises builders with the training, expertise, and demonstrated capability to construct homes that produce as much clean energy as they consume.
TM Builders is also a CHBA National Award for Housing Excellence Finalist (2024), a Georgie Award Finalist for Best Custom Home, a Best of Whistler recipient, and a multi-year Houzz award winner. Tom McColm served as President of the Sea-to-Sky CHBA chapter and remains active in industry advocacy and trades education.
