About Us

Team REIL has been in the construction business for 30 years. John Cederlund, President of Team REIL, founded REIL Construction in 1991 to provide construction services to park and recreation agencies. Through the years, the company has grown in both size and service and is proud today of our unified name Team REIL.

From start to finish… from excavation to installation… from dream to reality, a school, church, campground, community or park district, rely on Team REIL to build your park or playground!

“We had an amazing experience with purchasing our school playground from Team Reil! Brian was GREAT to work with and was there every step of the way to answer questions and give advice. The design team gave us a fantastic first design within our budget and they were quick to offer other options based on our feedback in order to get the perfect design for our space. It was because of Brian and Mike’s experience and expertise that our community install was a BREEZE and so much fun for our parents and community! Thank you, Team Reil! We are so excited to kick off a new school year with an AWESOME new playground!”

“Team REIL is one of the most professional and dedicated companies I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Not only was our project on time and on budget but they literally did the impossible to make sure our field was ready before we opened the school year. We could not be more pleased with the quality of their work, attention to detail, and ultimately the complete satisfaction of multiple stakeholders. Team REIL was highly attentive and very communicative throughout the entire process, always willing to go above and beyond to ensure the project would be completed on time and to our complete satisfaction. I would highly recommend working with Team REIL to any school district and we hope to work with them again in the near future.”

“My experiences with Team REIL have been very positive. They are professional, skilled, and collaborative with the ability to manage their human and financial resources with a well thought out but flexible approach. When things come up on site, the sky is never falling…there are just ‘opportunities’ to be managed. They embrace the client and design team goals and take an active part in working through challenges in a fair and professional manner. On top of that they simply smile, promoting a job site setting that is enjoyable for all to join in the ultimate success of the project. We are always glad to see them on the bidders list for our projects.”

“Lake Forest College had the opportunity to work with Team REIL to complete a turf field project. They worked with us to complete our vision in a very professional and timely manner. Team REIL had effective solutions to situations that inevitably occur during a project and delivered quality work during every step of the way. The final product that was delivered has been beyond our expectations and sets a new standard for future work going forward. I look forward to the opportunity to work with them again in the future.”
