One home isn’t enough anymore
BC’s housing market isn’t getting any easier—and for many homeowners, the solution isn’t more house, it’s smarter space.
If any of this sounds familiar…
…you’re not alone. And you’re not stuck.
Flexible living, built right
At Kurts Construction, we design and build secondary suites and multi-generational spaces that make homes work harder for families across the Fraser Valley.
Whether you're looking for added income, family flexibility, or long-term security, we’ll help you create a solution that’s safe, functional, stylish, and fully compliant.
We build and transform:
Designed for real life (not just a floor plan)
These aren’t quick-fix renos. They’re fully customized spaces that reflect your lifestyle and future plans.
Privacy First
Separate entrances, soundproofing, and independent living.
Full Functionality
Kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, and storage.
Dignified Design
Especially for aging parents or long-stay guests.
Smart Investment
Adds long-term resale value and passive income.
Built to Code
We handle all permitting, zoning, and inspections.
We don’t just build in-law suites. We build peace of mind.
We have our dream deck and yard.
We had the pleasure of working with the Kurts team while building our dream lake house. From our first meeting and all the way through the project we were confident that we had picked the right partners. Dan and Cher were very engaged and available for consultation throughout the build.
Our remote location led to the occasional challenge, which was always resolved promptly and efficiently. Kurts construction draws from a talented pool of trades that we found to be skillful, hard working and respectful. Perhaps most notably, we felt that Dan and Cher indeed had our best interests at heart, that they shared our excitement and that they were always conscious of our budget. Kurts construction was the perfect fit for our project and we wouldn’t hesitate to engage them for any future projects. We would absolutely recommend them based on our experience.
