WE HEAR THIS EVERY DAY

What’s Really Holding You Back?

“I don’t know where to start.”
“What if it goes over budget?”
“What if the contractor and designer aren’t aligned?”
“What if it takes forever and I’m left living in chaos?”

You’re not alone. These are the exact fears every Vancouver homeowner has before starting a renovation or custom build. And they’re all valid — because with the wrong team, every single one of them can happen.

With Kerr Design Build, they don’t.

This Is Why Design-Build Changes Everything

With a traditional renovation you hire a designer. Then a contractor. Then you manage the gap between them — every miscommunication, every budget discrepancy, every delay.
With Kerr, one team designs and builds your home under one roof. Your designer stays with your project through every stage of construction. Your budget is fixed before a single wall moves. And one person is accountable for all of it.
35 years of doing it this way. Hundreds of Vancouver families who didn’t have to worry.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

No Surprises. Ever.

We don’t specialize in one type of project because Vancouver homeowners don’t have one type of need. Whether you’re opening up a 1920s character home in Kitsilano, adding a second storey in Burnaby, or building from the ground up in West Point Grey — our team has done it, and done it well.

Fixed Pricing — You know your number before construction begins. It doesn’t change unless you change the scope.

One Point of Contact — No chasing three different companies. One team, one conversation.

Permits Handled — We manage the full City of Vancouver permit process. You don’t touch it.

Design That Stays — Your designer doesn’t disappear after the drawings. They’re on site, making the right calls, every step of the way.

35 Years of Trust — Since 1991, we’ve delivered hundreds of projects across Vancouver. We’re still here because our clients come back.

RENOVATIONS OF EVERY SIZE

From Small Updates to Full Transformations

Custom Home — DUNBAR, VANCOUVER

The Dunbar Home

A young family from Australia wanted a home with personality, warmth, and stories already woven into its walls. An antique chandelier from grandma in the powder room. A hidden peephole between the kids’ bedroom closets for passing notes. A home that will be remembered long after the finishes are forgotten.
