Wiltshire Homes

Wiltshire Homes is a Black-led custom home builder redefining what equitable workforce development and leadership look like in the GTA construction sector. Founded by CEO Lamont Wiltshire and President Odeen Wiltshire, the company operates as part of a vertically integrated platform where Black, Indigenous, racialized, and newcomer professionals are not only employed, but actively advanced into leadership roles across design, coordination, and project management.

Through intentional mentorship and structured career pathways, diverse employees are consistently supported to grow within the organization. Hinal Shah, a newcomer to Canada, advanced from assistant to Lead Project Coordinator overseeing multiple custom home builds. Taliesa, a Black Canadian woman, progressed from Project Coordinator to Project Manager, now leading a $10M+ portfolio—demonstrating rare upward mobility for Black women in the sector. Apprentices and trade-track workers receive hands-on rotational training across framing, mechanical, and finishing scopes, supported by direct access to senior leadership.

Wiltshire Homes also invests in future talent through its Jr. Home Builder Summer Camp, co-led by the founders’ children, introducing youth to construction careers early and intentionally. Combined with supplier development of Black-led trade partners and sustained leadership visibility, Wiltshire Homes is building a more inclusive, representative, and opportunity-rich construction industry.
