Woodall Construction History
|
|
Woodall Construction Co. Limited was
established by two of the eleven Woodall brothers
who immigrated to Canada in 1909. The family originally
settled in Winnipeg upon arriving in Canada and Bill
and Fred Sr. made their way to Windsor, Ontario, from
there. Bill and Fred Sr. started a masonry firm in
Windsor and were joined by two of Bill's sons, Les
and Fred Jr. in the 1920's.

Over the next several years, the family continued
together until Bill Woodall retired, Fred Sr. passed
away and Les went into the golf driving range business
in the 1940's. It was at this time that Fred Jr. was
joined by another brother, Gordon. The company expanded
into general contracting, its current operational
model, about 1948.

Dave Woodall, current company president and Fred
Jr.'s son, joined Woodall Construction Co. Limited.
in 1967 after a few years spent working in Alberta.
In 1971, Fred Jr. decided to step back and Gordon
took over the presidency at that time. Fred slowed
down but continued to work with the company until
the late 1980's at the age of 79. John Woodall, Gordon's
son and Alan, Dave's brother, joined the company in
the '70's and became partners with Dave after Gordon's
retirement about 1986.
