Our Story

We believe you deserve to love your home.

We built our first home together in 2011. It became our family home where we got married and had our kids. Every day we experience how a beautifully-designed, well-built home improves our lives, and in 2021 we launched South Coast Design | Build so that we could make lives better through good design.

Who We Are:

Tyler Verkerk

Tyler has designed and built over 100 new homes in Eastern Ontario. He has a BCIN License to design residential and commercial buildings, and he designs with sustainability and quality at top of mind. As a builder, he has the unique ability to design and price a build concurrently, helping clients stay on budget and still get exactly what they want. Tyler project manages our builds, staying in touch daily with subtrades and overseeing our team to make sure your home turns out just right. He enjoys the days when he gets to do some hands-on work himself, and loves the feeling of handing over the keys to a happy client. 

Elizabeth Green-Verkerk

Elizabeth is a management consultant, handling the marketing, accounting, and administration for the business. She’s even helped with the occasional kitchen install, and loves the feeling of seeing things built well. She’s a whiz with a chop saw, but happiest behind the scenes. She also supervises the Jr. Builders, both of whom are just starting to learn how to use power tools (as they grow big enough to lift them).
