Your Off Grid Home Made Custom to You

Your Own Unique Adventure

As off grid author Gary Collins said to the Agassiz-Harrison Observer “Everyone does (off grid living) differently and everyone does it their own way, because it’s their own adventure.”

We also recognize that you have a personal experience and style that you are looking for. We can point you to our incredible design partners, or work with your existing designs.

Not only do you have a unique vision, but you also have a unique property to build on. Off grid homes often present unusual challenges, but we have the creativity, manpower, and tools necessary to meet every challenge.
Our goal is to build in a way that compliments the environment around you.

Experienced & Qualified for Off-Grid Landscaping & Retaining Walls

Our General Contractor Dan has extensive experience in building retaining walls, including construction in areas near the Fraser River, Harrison lake, and the surrounding mountains. Off grid homes often require retaining walls to prevent soil erosion and maintain the stability of the structure.

We understand the importance of building retaining walls that are durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. Our team has the expertise to design and construct retaining walls using a variety of materials, including natural stone, concrete, and timber.

We also work with engineers and architects to ensure that the retaining walls are built to code and meet the specific needs of your property. You can trust us to provide long-lasting solutions that protect your off grid home and enhance the beauty of the surrounding environment.

Satisfied Dream Lake House Owners

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.
