Originally established in 1977 by Harry Petkau as Kelbrook Custom Homes Ltd, Kelbrook stood for quality, integrity, innovation, and the personal touch.
Owner/Director Grant Petkau's path from childhood to the present has been shaped by creativity, and implementing life-changing design into homes and businesses. With seasoned, boots-on-the-ground expertise from foundation to finish, Grant truly understands the entirety of the creative process, and also how to clearly communicate the details of the vision to his team and clients.
It is a huge responsibility and privilege to be chosen as your builder - not just because of what we are commissioned to produce, but also because you are inviting us into your lives for a significant period of time. We deeply understand that choosing a genuine design/build firm requires a great deal of trust, enhanced by clear communication. We are constantly looking to improve our processes with innovation and technology, and maintaining that critical level of trust and clarity for the duration of the build and beyond are of paramount importance
