Custom Homes Crafted for Life on the North Shore

At Kennedy Construction, we specialize in custom home building that brings your vision to life with precision, craftsmanship, and care. Based in North Vancouver, we offer full-service construction for homeowners who want a home tailored to their lifestyle, site, and long-term goals.

With over 20 years of experience, we understand that building a home is both a major investment and a deeply personal journey. That’s why we approach each project with a commitment to thoughtful planning, clear communication, and construction quality that exceeds expectations.

A Process Built Around You

No two homes are the same, and neither are our builds. Whether you’re starting with architectural plans or just an idea, we guide you from the first concept through completion with a structured, transparent process.

Our Custom Home Building Process:

1. Discovery & Consultation

We start by learning about your goals, budget, timeline, and site requirements. We also help identify key decisions that will shape your design, permitting, and build strategy.

2. Design & Planning

We collaborate with your architect or introduce you to one of our trusted partners. Our team helps navigate structural engineering, energy modeling, permitting, and municipal approvals. If needed, we help optimize layouts to match both performance goals and lifestyle needs.

3. Pre-Construction & Budgeting

We prepare a detailed project estimate and timeline. As a team that values transparency, we provide clarity on materials, scopes of work, contingencies, and upgrade options. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we break ground.

4. Construction

Our experienced crew, along with select local trades, executes the build with precision and respect for your site and schedule. We use digital project management tools to track progress, manage costs, and maintain clear communication throughout the build.

5. Handover & Support

We walk through every detail before turnover and ensure the final product meets the highest performance and craftsmanship standards. Warranty documentation and post-build support are part of our promise.

Designed for Living, Built to Last

Custom home building isn’t just about square footage: it’s about creating a space that feels like home from day one and performs beautifully for years to come.

What sets Kennedy homes apart:

Design-forward construction that reflects your vision
Smart integration of layout, light, and flow
Structural integrity and long-term durability
Building science-informed practices for energy performance
Craftsmanship in every material and detail

From compact family homes to expansive modern estates, we apply the same care, planning, and technical expertise to every build.

Performance Meets Personalization

Our custom homes are designed and constructed to exceed BC’s current Energy Step Code standards. Whether your goal is to achieve Step Code 3, 4, or 5, or even build to Net Zero Ready standards, we guide the process with the knowledge and systems to make it achievable.

Key performance features:

Airtight construction and advanced insulation strategies
High-efficiency HVAC and HRV systems for indoor air quality
Smart energy controls and renewable-ready infrastructure
Quality glazing, passive solar orientation, and water management
Material selection focused on health, performance, and longevity

We work with energy advisors, engineers, and product partners to deliver custom homes that are not only efficient, but also healthier and more comfortable to live in.

Expanding the Possibilities of Custom Building

We build more than single-family homes. If you’re looking to explore creative housing solutions or diversify property usage, our team has the experience to support:

Small-scale multi-unit housing
Laneway homes and coach houses
Garden suites for rental or extended family

With changes in zoning and a growing demand for gentle densification, we help clients adapt their properties while maintaining architectural integrity and neighborhood fit.

The Kennedy Construction Difference

When you build with Kennedy Construction, you’re working with a team that brings deep local knowledge, trade relationships, and energy performance expertise to the table.

We work exclusively with trusted architects, designers, engineers, and suppliers who share our standards for excellence. Our crew is courteous, professional, and dedicated to getting every detail right: from excavation to the final coat of paint.

We’re proud to be certified by Renomark, Built Green, Passive House, and Net Zero organizations, and we provide warranty-backed construction through National Home Warranty.

Things to Consider Before You Build

Custom construction is a significant project. A well-informed approach makes all the difference. Before breaking ground, it helps to define your vision and prepare for key decisions.

Helpful questions to think about:

Do you already own the property or lot?
Are there site constraints such as slopes, soil conditions, or easements?
What is your estimated budget and desired timeline?
Do you have an architect or designer?
Are you planning to include high-performance or Net Zero elements?
What are the permitting and zoning requirements for your municipality?

We help identify and navigate these factors early to reduce surprises and keep the project aligned from start to finish.
