Luxury Home Builder Peachland, BC
Award-Winning Peachland Home Builder Since 1983
Peachland is built around the lakeshore. With its lakefront townsite, view properties climbing the Trepanier Bench, and wineries in the hills above, it’s a place where a custom home has the chance to feel like a retreat. Since 1983, we’ve crafted luxury custom homes throughout the Okanagan Valley, and Peachland’s mix of waterfront properties, view lots, and hillside builds is some of the most rewarding work we get to do.
Every Peachland home is a collaboration. We work closely with you, your architect, and our team of skilled tradespeople to bring your vision to life. That means listening to what matters most, sharing honest expertise when it helps, and making the journey from first sketch to final walkthrough feel like a partnership. Whether you want to be hands-on through every detail or step back and trust us to shepherd the project, we’ll meet you where you are.
Four decades of building in the Okanagan have earned Bercum 26 Canadian Home Builders Association awards across regional, provincial, and national levels, including Custom Home Builder of the Year and Grand Tommie Home of the Year. We bring that same craftsmanship and care to every home we build in Peachland.

“Our project was complicated by the fact that we were overseas for the entire design and build process, and we only visited once for lock-up. We placed our complete trust in the Bercum team’s integrity and high standards. Bercum Builders not only met but exceeded our expectations with the outcome and we would certainly recommend Bercum for any new build or major renovation.”

The open honest relationship between the design team and Bercum allowed us to produce the home we’d dreamt about. Fantastic team approach, why trust anyone else but Bercum Builders with your dream.”

Custom Home Building in Peachland, Answered
How much does it cost to build a custom home in Peachland?
Our high-end custom homes start at roughly $500 per square foot. That figure reflects a fully custom luxury build, so it sits above the average new home in Peachland, and it is a starting point rather than a ceiling. Your final cost depends on your lot, size, design, and finishes, and the waterfront and steep view lots common here can add site and engineering costs. The best way to understand the difference for your build is to contact our team directly for a clear, itemized estimate.
How long does it take to build a custom home in Peachland?
Most custom homes take about 12 to 24 months from first design to move-in, with planning and design taking 6 to 12 months and construction following. Waterfront and hillside sites in Peachland can take longer because of added assessments and permitting. Our team gives you a detailed schedule during planning and a dedicated project manager who shares weekly progress updates with photos.
What is the custom home building process with your team?
Our four phase process moves from Discovery to Planning to Construction to Service. We begin by understanding your vision, needs, budget, and timeline, then design and price the home together, build it under a dedicated project manager, and support you well after move-in. You stay as involved or as hands-off as you like, always confident that your vision comes first.
Do you help with design, or do I need my own architect?
We team up with proven local designers to bring your vision to life, then guide design and construction together from the first sketch. Coordinating those designers with our project managers and craftspeople keeps your home’s design, budget, and buildability aligned and prevents costly surprises later. If you already have an architect or designer you love, we are glad to work alongside them.
What warranty comes with a new custom home in BC?
Every new home built by a licensed residential builder in British Columbia carries mandatory 2-5-10 home warranty insurance: two years on labour and materials, five years on the building envelope, and ten years on the structure, regulated by BC Housing with combined coverage up to $200,000. As a licensed builder, our team provides this coverage and backs it with genuine follow-up care.
How do I choose the right custom home builder in Peachland?
Look for a builder with a long local track record, a transparent process, references you can speak with, and a portfolio that speaks for itself. Ask how they estimate, who will manage your project, and how they will communicate through the build. Our team has been building across the Okanagan since 1983, and we welcome these questions, because the right fit matters as much as the finished home.
Which Peachland areas do you build custom homes in?
We build throughout Peachland, from the lakefront townsite along Okanagan Lake to view properties climbing the Trepanier Bench and hillside lots near the wineries above. Wherever your Peachland lot sits, we would be glad to walk it with you and talk through what is possible.
What should I know about building a custom home in Peachland?
Peachland is built around the lakeshore, so many lots are waterfront or steep view properties that reward careful planning: grading, drainage, foundation design, and orienting the home to the lake. Waterfront and hillside sites add permitting considerations. Our team plans these early, so your Peachland home makes the most of its setting without surprises during construction.
