The Nation-owned contractor’s 2026 award announcement highlights a completed community project on the North Island.

K’awat’si Construction Company reports receiving a 2026 Vancouver Island Building Industry award for the Tsulquate Big House project. The company identifies the recognition as Best Prime Contractor Project in the $10-million to $25-million category.

The contractor is owned by the Gwa’sala-’Nakwaxda’xw Nations. Its website records the Big House opening on June 15 and carries June 2026 news about the project and award. A project-team account on the site places construction completion in November 2025.

This is completed-project coverage, not a claim that the Big House remains an active construction site. It adds a North Island example to a news agenda that can otherwise become dominated by large urban developments.

The award category describes the recognition, not an independently verified final project cost. The company’s own published announcement is the source for the award details.
