About Kindred

Custom Homes

Over 40 years of experience building custom, single-family homes.

Founded in 1980, Kindred Construction Ltd. is an award-winning, full-service construction services partner with expertise in construction management, general contracting, and design-build projects. We got our start in the construction industry by focusing on the single-family home market. Over the years, we have evolved our services to include commercial, multifamily, and institutional projects. However, our passion for building unique, single-family homes led us to create the Kindred Custom Homes brand allowing us to focus on the needs and expectations of custom home clients. We pride ourselves on the quality of our work but, more importantly, on our commitment to empowering and advocating for our clients through the construction journey.

Everything We Do at Kindred is Team Built

Over 40 years ago, Kindred was humbly started in an attic by Dick and Briony Reid. Driven by a strong sense of honesty, integrity, and family, they built the company by focusing on relationships and supporting their colleagues, clients and industry partners. This sense of teamwork and pride in quality are still cornerstones of the Kindred value proposition today.

We build teams where everyone comes together as one: Kindred, our partners, and our clients. One team working towards one goal - to shape the rewarding construction experience that delivers our client’s vision. Every part of our business is committed to working as a team to bring collaboration, transparency, and camaraderie to the core of every project. We are Team Built.
