A New Era Starts at Kerr Design Build
Kerr Design Build is proud to announce a significant milestone in its ongoing journey. Senior project consultant and partner Elton Donald has officially assumed the role of sole owner.
For those familiar with the company, Elton’s name is synonymous with dedication, integrity, and hands-on leadership. As a central figure in the company for many years and a trusted collaborator with founder Doug Kerr, Elton has helped to shape the company’s culture and approach. His technical expertise, combined with a heartfelt commitment to the client experience, has been instrumental in making Kerr Design Build a standout in Vancouver’s design-build scene.
Joining him in this new chapter is his wife, Ryoko, who continues to lead marketing efforts with a keen eye for detail and an authentic passion for client relationships. Together, the duo represents a family-driven ethos that has always defined Kerr, one that puts people first and prioritizes collaboration, trust, and craftsmanship.
Elton brings to his new role a clear vision: to carry forward the values that built the company — personalized service, thoughtful design, and exceptional quality — while continuing to innovate and elevate client experiences. As he put it, “We don’t just build homes; we elevate lives.” That mindset reflects Kerr’s deeper mission: to treat each project not simply as a structure, but as a meaningful transformation in someone’s life.
Elton’s commitment to honesty, excellence, and growth promises to steer Kerr Design Build into an exciting future, one built on the foundation of trust and care that clients have come to expect.
With this leadership transition, Kerr Design Build begins a vibrant new chapter and remains as passionate as ever about creating inspired spaces for our clients.
