Kerr Design Build – Award-Winning Custom Home Builder and Renovation Company in Vancouver
DESIGNED FOR THE WAY YOU LIVE

Custom Home Builder

Custom Home in Vancouver, BC

For over 35 years, Kerr Design Build has helped Vancouver homeowners build custom homes that are as thoughtfully designed as they are expertly built. One team. One process. Zero dropped balls — from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.

LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR PROJECT →
Our Approach

Trusted Custom Home Builders in Vancouver

Building a custom home in Vancouver is one of the most significant investments you’ll make. You need a builder who knows the city — the permit process, the neighbourhood character, the lot challenges — and who delivers your vision without the chaos that too often defines construction.

Kerr Design Build has been doing exactly that for over three decades. Our in-house design-build model means the same team that designs your home builds it — keeping costs predictable, timelines on track, and communication clear from day one.

“The artistic quality of a project doesn’t have to cost more. It hinges on having skilled people who genuinely care about the end result.”

— Elton Donald, Owner, Kerr Design Build

Design-First

Integrated Design & Planning

Great custom homes start before the first nail. Our in-house design team works with you to understand how you live — and builds a home that reflects it.

Every custom home engagement includes a full needs analysis, architectural drawings, interior design, 3D renderings, engineering, city permits, and a detailed materials and finishes review. Every decision made with your lifestyle and budget in mind — before construction begins.

Construction Management

Your dedicated project manager runs the build — on site daily, managing trades and quality until completion.
