About Us
KFA Homes is a family-owned and operated business with over 50 years of combined experience in home building and design. Our founders wanted to help clients like themselves with a customer-centric company focused on communication and reliable expertise.
Our Goal
Karim, Farhan, and Alim are the three founders of KFA Homes. While building their own homes, the three discovered a major issue during the developmental process: the lack of clear and consistent communication from contractors to clients. The founders took hold of the issue by creating KFA Homes Ltd., a custom home building company in the Lower Mainland that is client-focused and values complete transparency.
To maintain the founders’ goal, we at KFA Homes walk through the entire process with our clients, from preliminary sketches until post-move-in. Our first-hand experience as contractors’ clients enables us to understand the obstacles that may come with building your own home. With nearly 10 years of experience, we aim to aid you every step of the way.
Our Philosophy
At KFA Homes, we hope to make the process of building your home as simple and rewarding as possible. We aim to make the journey enjoyable for our clients, as we bring their vision to life. We believe in educating and guiding our clients through the entire process, from preliminary steps and demolition, to finishing touches and moving in. Transparency is one of our key principles; we understand how much you have invested emotionally and financially in your new home, and we will be there to support you at every turn. We perform our due diligence to ensure our clients are receiving the best quality, care, and price.
Our Commitment
We have been dedicated to building homes that have superior finishing’s, top quality workmanship and make use of the highest-grade materials since 2011. Our commitment to higher build standards is backed by the industries best 2-5-10 warranty with Travelers Insurance Company of Canada. We are also a proud member of the Homebuilders Association Vancouver (HAVAN).
