Crafting Luxury Custom Homes in Kelowna Since 1983
The Luxury Is in the Living
Bercum Builders has been crafting luxury custom homes in Kelowna and the Central Okanagan since 1983, from lakeshore estates on Okanagan Lake to hillside residences with panoramic valley views.
For us, luxury is an experience. It is morning light across the water, rooms shaped around the way your family actually lives, and the quiet confidence of a home that feels effortless every day you wake up in it. Our project managers and craftspeople, with proven local designers, build toward that feeling in every decision, from the first sketch to the final walkthrough, so the home does not just impress on day one. It delights for decades.
And the experience of building should feel as good as the home itself. Our four phase process pairs you with a dedicated project manager who provides weekly progress reports with photos, so the journey to your dream home stays exciting instead of stressful. You will always know where your home stands, because that is how we would want to be treated.

“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.”
Lisa Turchyn

“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.”

Luxury Custom Home Questions, Answered
What defines a luxury custom home in Kelowna?
A true luxury custom home is designed from the ground up for one family and one site, not adapted from a stock plan. It shows in the quality of construction, the craftsmanship in every detail, and rooms shaped around how you actually live. For our team, luxury is an experience you feel every day, from morning light across the water to a home that still delights decades after move-in.
How much does it cost to build a luxury custom home in Kelowna?
Our high-end custom homes in Kelowna start at roughly $500 per square foot. That figure reflects a fully custom luxury build, so it sits above the average new home in the area, and it is a starting point rather than a ceiling. Your final cost reflects your lot, size, design, and selections. The best way to understand the difference for your project is to contact our team directly, and we will develop a comprehensive, transparent estimate so your vision and your budget stay aligned from the very first conversations.
How long does it take to build a luxury custom home?
Most luxury custom homes in Kelowna take about 12 to 24 months from first design to move-in, with planning and design taking 6 to 12 months and construction following. Complex or lakefront sites can take longer. Our team gives you a detailed schedule during planning and a dedicated project manager who shares weekly progress updates with photos, so the journey stays exciting rather than stressful.
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.
How do I choose the right luxury home builder in Kelowna?
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 in the Okanagan since 1983, and we welcome these questions, because the right fit matters as much as the finished home.
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 we back it with the care and follow-up that have defined our relationships since 1983.
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.
Where in the Okanagan do you build luxury custom homes?
Our team builds luxury custom homes in Kelowna and throughout the Central and North Okanagan, from lakeshore estates on Okanagan Lake to hillside residences with panoramic valley views, serving West Kelowna, Lake Country, Peachland, Summerland, and Vernon. Wherever your lot sits, we would be glad to talk through what is possible on it.
