This acquisition marks an exciting next chapter for RBT, expanding its ability to serve clients in Kelowna and the broader Okanagan region with the added strength of First Onsite’s national scale and proven expertise.
“Since founding RBT, our priority has always been to deliver fast, high-quality restoration services with a customer-first mindset,” said Brie Greenwood , co-owner of RBT. “Joining First Onsite allows us to elevate that commitment even further — giving our clients access to deeper resources, broader technical capabilities, and support for large and complex loss events.”
RBT now pairs its trusted local knowledge with First Onsite’s expanded reach—enhancing capacity, specialized capabilities, and speed of response for residential, commercial, and property management clients. RBT will continue to operate locally with the same trusted leadership in place led by Giles Evans, Brie Greenwood, and Ken Kilpatrick — now as the Kelowna branch of First Onsite. Clients can expect the same responsive service, now backed by enhanced national capabilities, innovation, and operational support.
“We remain the same local team now backed by First Onsite’s reputation for excellence, teamwork, and client care aligning seamlessly with the values that have guided RBT since day one. This partnership strengthens our capacity in Kelowna and creates new opportunities for our team and our customers,” said Greenwood.
With nearly two decades of experience responding to floods, wildfires, and major disaster events across British Columbia — including the historic 2021 flooding — First Onsite brings proven large-loss and mobilization capabilities to the region. RBT adds to this strength with its deep local presence in Kelowna and surrounding communities, delivering comprehensive restoration services such as emergency response, water and flood mitigation, fire and smoke cleanup, storm recovery, sewer backup cleanup, asbestos abatement, reconstruction, and complex-claim support.
With RBT joining the team, First Onsite now operates five branches in the province — Kelowna, Fraser Valley, Fort St. John, Metro Vancouver, and Victoria — and RBT gains access to First Onsite’s national partnerships and preferred program relationships, unlocking greater growth opportunities and an expanded book of business in the Okanagan.
