Build a Home Designed Around Your Life
A custom home should be shaped around how you live—not adapted from a generic plan.
Maloff Contracting builds thoughtfully designed custom homes throughout Kelowna and the surrounding Okanagan. We work closely with homeowners from early planning and budgeting through construction, finishing and final possession.
As a licensed residential builder led by an experienced Red Seal carpenter, we combine hands-on construction knowledge with organized project management. The result is a home that looks exceptional, functions properly and is built for long-term performance.
A Custom Home Built Around You
The best custom homes begin with the right questions.
How does your family use the home every day? Where do you need more storage? How should the indoor and outdoor spaces connect? Do you need a legal suite, home office, workshop or room for your family to grow?
We help turn those priorities into a practical construction plan. By getting involved early, we can identify opportunities, address potential challenges and help keep design decisions aligned with your budget.
Our custom homes focus on:
- Functional layouts designed for everyday living
- Durable materials suited to the Okanagan climate
- Energy-efficient construction and mechanical systems
- Comfortable, well-planned kitchens and living spaces
- Thoughtful storage, lighting and electrical layouts
- Indoor-outdoor connections that make the most of the property
- Finish selections that balance appearance, performance and value
Complete Custom Home Construction Management
Building a home involves hundreds of decisions and many different trades, suppliers, consultants and inspections. We provide one clear point of contact throughout the construction process.
Depending on the project, our work can include:
- Preliminary site and project review
- Design and engineering coordination
- Budget development and scope planning
- Building-permit coordination
- Site preparation and excavation
- Foundations, framing and building envelope
- Roofing, windows and exterior finishing
- Plumbing, electrical and HVAC coordination
- Insulation, drywall and interior finishing
- Cabinetry, flooring, tile and finish carpentry
- Inspections, deficiencies and final turnover
You receive regular communication about progress, upcoming decisions and changes that could affect the schedule or budget.
Built for Okanagan Living
Building in Kelowna presents opportunities and challenges that should be considered from the beginning.
Lot grade, sun exposure, views, outdoor living, heating and cooling demands, drainage and site access can all influence the design and cost of a new home. We consider these practical details alongside the architecture so the finished home performs as well as it looks.
Whether you are building on a conventional residential lot or a more challenging property, early planning helps reduce costly changes once construction is underway.
Craftsmanship Backed by Real Construction Experience
Maloff Contracting is led by Derek Maloff, a Red Seal carpenter with extensive hands-on residential construction experience.
That background matters. Quality control is not limited to the final walkthrough—it is built into how the project is planned, sequenced and inspected at every stage.
We pay attention to the details behind the finishes, including framing, waterproofing, mechanical coordination, insulation and proper preparation. These are the parts of a home that determine how well it will perform years after construction is complete.

5. Completion and Possession
We complete the finishing details, perform a thorough walkthrough and address deficiencies before final turnover.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help before our plans are complete?
Yes. Bringing a builder into the process early can help keep the design aligned with your property, construction budget and practical requirements. We can work with your designer, architect and engineers or help you assemble the appropriate project team.
What does a custom home cost in Kelowna?
The cost depends on the property, site conditions, home size, architectural complexity, mechanical systems and level of finishing. We review these factors before providing a meaningful budget range.
How long does it take to build a custom home?
The timeline depends on design, permits, site conditions, complexity and material availability. Once the plans and scope are developed, we can provide a project-specific construction schedule.
Can a legal suite be incorporated into the home?
Yes, provided the property and design meet applicable zoning, building-code and permit requirements. Planning the suite as part of the original home is generally more efficient than adding one later.
