Kingdom Builders

What Kingdom Builders does

Kingdom Builders is a privately held custom home builder and renovation contractor based in North Vancouver, Canada, serving affluent homeowners across the Greater Vancouver area including North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Vancouver, and Burnaby. Founded around 2012 (with one source dating operations to 2005), the firm operates with 11-50 employees under Principal and General Manager Paul Lilley, and has positioned itself as one of the Lower Mainland's most sought-after general contractors for premium and luxury custom builds and renovations.

The company's core technology centers on high-performance, sustainable construction, with particular depth in Passive House building standards. Capabilities include Passive House-certified construction built without standard central heating systems, air-tight building envelopes using SIGA systems, heat recovery ventilation via Zehnder ComfoAir units, solar photovoltaic systems for net metering, triple-pane high-performance windows, insulated concrete forms (ICF), heat pump water heating (Sanden CO2), and drain water heat recovery. Projects have achieved air-tightness ratings as low as 0.19 ACH, R-47 wall assemblies, and Step Code 3, Step Code 5, Net Zero, and Passive House certifications. The firm also holds memberships in Passive House Canada, Built Green Canada, and the Greater Vancouver Home Builders' Association.

Kingdom Builders generates revenue through two project-based, one-time service lines: custom home construction (projects ranging from 1,800 to 10,000+ sq ft, typically valued at $3 million and above, with timelines of 12-18+ months) and home renovation services (whole-home transformations). The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, leveraging direct consultation, a referral network of architects and designers (Living Radius Architecture, GWA, Architrix Design Studio, Design Studio 8), an award-laden website portfolio, and educational content via YouTube and Instagram. The firm is self-funded, founder-owned, and has no disclosed external investors, acquisitions, or subsidiary structures.
