Who we are
Freeport specializes in the design and construction of beautiful, high-quality custom homes and modular structures. Our homes and commercial structures come with a set purchase price and a completion date promise. They’re also fully customizable, environmentally responsible, and offer a quicker timeline than traditional construction.
We pride ourselves on our outstanding customer service, attention to detail, and customized solutions. Since 2016, we’ve been the builder of the PNE Prize Home. We’ve also been the exclusive builder for Retire West Communities since 1997.
Our vision is to be the repeat builder of choice for customers looking for premium quality and customizable construction solutions that are delivered by safe and engaged employees.

History
In 2004, Todd Venier opened Freeport’s first manufacturing plant in Parksville, BC, with the vision of building the finest factory-built homes in the industry. Todd brought with him 12 years of experience in the modular homes business, including work with Retire West Communities Ltd. and the successful completion of a 295-unit modular home development in Nanaimo, BC.
In 2006, Chris Inkster joined Freeport as estimator and quality control manager at its manufacturing facility in Parksville. The following year, Freeport opened its second facility in West Kelowna, BC, in order to serve the Okanagan market and its 46-acre s site, Sage Creek.
Over the years, Freeport has become known for building high quality, affordable land leased communities that do not represent the trailer parks of yesterday.
