The four step Design Build process ensures that we meet your every expectation and keep open lines of communication, so you’re never surprised.

Our Process
Keith Construction is proud to offer high-quality custom home builds and renovations throughout the Okanagan. With our Design Build process, you’ll have complete clarity and peace of mind throughout your build.. Contact us today to get started.
Initial meeting
In our first meeting, we determine the scope of work, needs, budget, and specific site conditions. We provide references and answer all your questions in this stage.
Draft plans
We draft your initial layout and concept, then produce a set of professional drawings. If you have your own plans, we review to ensure they’re up to code and match your budget.
Review estimate
Once you’re happy with the plans, we create a detailed estimate and review every line with you. We apply for permits, quantify your allowances, and provide a tentative schedule.
Build home
After the final scope of the work is defined, the schedule laid out, and the estimate approved, we start building! This is the fun part, where your dream home becomes a reality.

Frequently Asked Questions
We proudly construct custom homes made exactly to the client’s specifications. You can provide any professional set of architectural drawings for construction, or you can work with our design team to create an in-house plan.
