What Kennedy Construction does

Kennedy Construction is a privately held, founder-led custom home builder and renovation contractor headquartered at 831 W 1st Street in North Vancouver, British Columbia. The firm was established in 2003 by Andrew Kennedy and serves the North Shore (North Vancouver, West Vancouver) and broader BC Lower Mainland, including Burnaby, Vancouver, Squamish, Whistler, and Bowen Island. The company employs between 11 and 50 staff, comprising an owner/operator, general manager/project manager, project manager, estimator/pre-construction coordinator, associate project manager, accounting support, and a field crew of more than 10 carpenters.

The firm delivers two core service lines: custom home builds (typically 12-24 months, ranging from standard luxury homes to high-performance Net Zero Ready and Passive House projects) and major home renovations and additions (typically 9-18 months, project values $1M-$1.5M+). Supporting product modules include laneway homes, small-scale multi-unit housing, kitchen and bathroom renovations, suites, and outdoor living projects. The underlying technology centers on building science techniques adapted for coastal BC conditions — BC Energy Step Code compliance at Steps 3, 4, and 5, Passive House construction (Andrew Kennedy is a certified Passive House tradesperson), Net Zero Ready practices, advanced airtight building envelopes, HRV/ERV mechanical ventilation, and Built Green certification (Bronze through Platinum). The firm holds Renomark and National Home Warranty certifications.

Revenue is generated on a project-based, one-time fee model, with quote-based pricing determined by design complexity, site conditions, and finishes. The go-to-market motion is direct enterprise-style sales targeting affluent homeowners through initial consultations, design coordination with architects, detailed estimates, and contracts — supported by website, Google Business profile (5.0 rating, 10 reviews), Houzz, SEO-driven blog content, and referral networks. The firm has won 8 HAVAN Awards and 1 Georgie Award finalist recognition, most recently the 2024 HAVAN Best Renovation ($1M-$1.5M) and Best Custom Home ($1.5M-$2M) awards and the 2025 FortisBC Award for Excellence in Energy Efficiency in New Residential Construction.
