What KEITH CONSTRUCTION LIMITED does

Keith Construction, operating as Keith Dahlen Construction Ltd., is a third-generation, family-owned custom home builder and renovator headquartered in Coldstream (Vernon), British Columbia. Founded in 1989 and led by President Ken Dahlen, a designated CHBA Master Residential Builder in BC and Net Zero-certified home builder, the company has completed over 100 custom home builds and accumulated over 60 industry awards including multiple Tommie and Georgie awards from the Canadian Home Builders' Association. It serves high-net-worth homeowners, relocating families, retirees, and resort/lifestyle property buyers across the North Okanagan region — including Vernon, Coldstream, Lake Country, and Lumby — with a geographic footprint concentrated in premium developments such as Lakestone, Adventure Bay, and Predator Ridge where it holds preferred-builder status.

The company operates a full-service design-build model that integrates architectural design, 3D real-time drafting, permit management, and construction under a single engagement, supported by JobTread project management software for client-facing scheduling, document handling, and budget tracking. Its building practices are aligned with BC Energy Step Code and Built Green Platinum certification standards, emphasizing high-performance, energy-efficient construction. The firm offers Custom Home Building, Custom Renovations (kitchen, bathroom, whole-home, additions, and outdoor projects), and standalone Architectural Design Services, plus exclusive Lakestone Summit lot-specific concept design packages for Lots 5, 11, and 46 in Lake Country.

Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven contracts under either fixed-price or cost-plus structures with multi-year project durations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Customer acquisition is sales-led and direct, relying on portfolio showcases, content marketing, community involvement, and preferred-builder developer relationships rather than third-party distribution channels. The firm has no disclosed funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no external institutional ownership; ownership remains entirely within the Dahlen family.
