Building homes with integrity, experience, and care

Our Story

Built on trust, from the foundation up

Align West Homes was founded by David Pfuetzner, a Red Seal carpenter whose career began the way all great builders do: starting at the bottom and working his way up through every step of the construction process. David spent years on the tools, building a reputation in the Okanagan for quality, professionalism, and genuine care for the homes he built and the clients he served. Jordan Hansum brings that same foundation.

Our Vision

To be the most trusted name in custom home building across the Okanagan, known not only for the homes we create but for the relationships we build along the way. We believe that a well-built home creates lasting value, and that the experience of building it should be something our clients look back on with pride.

Passion

Building homes is not just what we do, it is what we love. That passion shows up in every detail, every decision, and every home we are proud to hand over.

Testimonials

What our clients say about us

It wasn't a price-driven decision as much as it was about the people and the connection... Align West builds only a handful of homes at Predator Ridge each year. That's a showcase, not a volume play, and you feel it. You see it in the attention to detail, the schedule, the communication, the relationships with the trades, and the pride in the work... Did things go wrong? Of course. It's construction. But every time, it was the same sequence. Communication first, then solutions, then a plan. Every time.

Randy and Ingrid Predator Ridge, Custom Home

Dear Align West Team,

We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the most beautiful home that you have built for us. You brought our dream and vision to life!

You are an amazing team and your craftsmanship is something to admire! We are looking forward to creating beautiful memories in our gorgeous home.

Thank you!

Venters Custom Home Build

Align West Homes delivered beyond our expectation!

When we decided to build a new home on a rural acreage 65 km from Kelowna, at the start of winter, we knew we were in for a challenge. The team at Align West proved to be a valuable asset, on our side.

Align West has excellent relationships with the trades which was very evident when winter conditions could have easily delayed the build. Quality workmanship was completed on schedule; obstacles were overcome, and pricing remained very competitive.

Choosing to build a new home can be very stressful. Dave Pfuetzner’s professionalism and reputation in the community certainly paid dividends and alleviated any concerns we had. We are so happy that we chose Align West as our builder.

Dave and Elenor Rural Acreage, Custom Home Build

The process of having a custom home built is one which requires collective effort and a spirit of cooperation in order to achieve a successful outcome, and our experience with Align West was a shining example of how well that process can be engaged.

We are truly pleased with our home, and attribute wholly this outcome to the work, skill and professionalism which David and his dedicated team applied daily to this objective.

Furthermore, this was achieved in an environment of peak construction costs, stressed labour, and a global pandemic!

For anyone contemplating construction of a new home, we would without hesitation highly recommend Align West.

Tim & Yvonne The Orchard in the Mission, Custom Home Build

Working with David and the Align West team made the challenging experience of building a new home in an environment of supply chain issues, extremely busy sub-contractors and rapidly rising prices, a positive experience. We appreciated the way Align West has dealt with these issues, fairly, and are happy with the quality and design of our new home. One issue that arose during construction was the inability to access the planned shiplap boarding to accent the gas fireplace in the living room. David, recommended using natural stone instead and this has turned out to be a real focal point of our home, as you can see in the picture.

Steve & Suzanne Predator Ridge, Custom Home Build

I am putzing around my beautiful home, now playing up in my studio and I just need to thank you for this beautiful home. It is so amazing and I love it so so much. It is home already. You made our dreams come true. I know it wasnt easy building up here and especially this build with some of the challenges that cropped up but I’m so glad you did. You were so great to work with and I honestly don’t believe it would have gone so well with someone else. Thank you.

Bev and John Harding Custom Home Build

From the moment we met Dave Pfuetzner, we knew that Align West Homes was the builder for us. As we were completing the design of our house, Dave made practical suggestions on how to make construction more cost effective while retaining a high level of energy efficiency. Dave, our construction manager, support staff, and the subtrades were a pleasure to work with. While there are always challenges and stressful days with building a new home, they all worked hard to lead us through the process and to make it an enjoyable experience.

Giving Back

Giving back

For David and Jordan, building a great company has always meant more than building great homes. They are firm believers that success comes with a responsibility to give back to the communities, causes, and people that surround them. That belief shows up in the way they do business, and well beyond it. Over the years, the Align West Homes team has supported a range of charities, community initiatives, and causes close to their hearts, because giving back is not something they do occasionally, it is simply part of who they are.

Music for the Mighty

In 2024, David and Jordan co-founded Music for the Mighty, an annual live music event held at Revelry Food and Music Hub in downtown Kelowna, raising funds in support of the BC Children's Hospital Social Work Fund.
