A boutique builder
in the Sea to Sky Corridor
Balmoral Construction is a custom home builder based in Pemberton, BC, serving homeowners across Whistler, Pemberton, and Squamish. Founded in 2011 by Marc Harvey — a journeyman carpenter with over 20 years of experience in both commercial and residential construction — Balmoral was built on a simple principle: take on fewer projects and build each one with greater care.
We intentionally limit the number of homes we build each year so that Marc and our project management team can be personally involved in every build. From custom home construction and large-scale renovations to land consultation and permit coordination, we manage the full scope of your project with a hands-on approach that larger firms simply cannot match.

What sets us apart
Owner on Every Job Site
Marc Harvey, our founder, is personally involved in every project from first site walk to final walkthrough. You always have direct access to the person making decisions on your build — not a layer of project coordinators.
20+ Years in the Sea to Sky
Two decades of building in Whistler, Pemberton, and Squamish means we understand the terrain, the climate, the local regulations, and the trades needed to build homes that stand up to mountain conditions and stand the test of time.
Intentionally Limited Projects
We take on a limited number of builds per year by design — not by circumstance. This means your project receives the hands-on attention, consistent crew presence, and quality oversight that volume builders simply cannot provide.

Whistler
As a Whistler home builder with over two decades of experience, we understand the unique challenges of building in a world-class mountain resort — from heavy snow loads and steep terrain to navigating the Resort Municipality's building requirements. Our portfolio includes custom homes across Whistler's most sought-after neighbourhoods.
Pemberton
Pemberton is home — our office is on Sugarloaf Place and we've built some of our most celebrated projects right here. As a Pemberton contractor, we know the local building landscape inside out: soil conditions, servicing requirements, and the Village and SLRD's permitting processes. Building in Pemberton means building with a team that lives where you do.
Squamish
Squamish is one of BC's fastest-growing communities, and we're seeing increasing demand for quality custom home construction in the area. As a Squamish contractor, we bring the same meticulous standards we apply in Whistler and Pemberton — combined with knowledge of local regulations, site conditions, and the opportunities unique to this part of the corridor.
