Lakefront Custom Home Builder
Bercum Builders, Inc.
Lakefront Custom Home Builder
From first sketch to first swim, we build lakefront custom homes designed around the water, the light, and the lifestyle. Crafted with care by our team since 1983.
Building Lakefront Custom Homes on Okanagan Lake Since 1983
Built for the Water, Shaped by 40 Years on the Lake
Building on the water is unlike building anywhere else. Since 1983, our team has been crafting lakefront custom homes along Okanagan Lake and throughout the Okanagan Valley, on shorelines from Kelowna and West Kelowna to Lake Country, Peachland, and Summerland. Four decades on this lake have taught us its lots, its bylaws, and its moods.
Lakefront builds ask more of a builder: foreshore and riparian setbacks, geotechnical and high water considerations, dock and beach access, and designs that frame the water from every principal room. Our designers, project managers, and craftspeople look after each of these together from day one, so your home makes the most of its shoreline without surprises during permitting or construction.
For us, the true measure of a lakefront home is the family living in it. Clients like Dan and Rena, who came back to us for their dream home on Okanagan Lake after several projects together, and Ken and Francis, who worked alongside our team from first design to the completion of their complicated lakefront home, are the reason we build. Earning and keeping that kind of trust is what matters most to us.

“The Bercum team was involved from the initial design stage through to completion of our complicated lakefront home. 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.”
Ken & Francis
LAKEFRONT CUSTOM HOME CLIENTS
“After working on several projects with Bercum Builders, including the completion of our dream home on Okanagan Lake, we can say that we would recommend Bercum without reservation. If you are looking for quality, honesty, and attention to detail- look no further. Bercum is the right pick.”
Dan & Rena Mcleod
OKANAGAN LAKE HOME CLIENTS
“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.”
