Our Story
Three Generations.
One Standard.
Where It Began
A Legacy Drawn
in Pencil
Ver Woert Construction is a family-operated design + build firm, building homes across West Michigan. Starting in 1956, Gordon Ver Woert drafted plans by hand for local lumber yards and builders. His son, Ken, grew up following in Gordon's footsteps at the drafting table, but enjoyed a hammer in his hand just as much. In 1990, Ken established Ver Woert Construction, where he combined his love for design and his passion for building. Gordon drew all plans until retirement, and Ken carried on his legacy. Ken still two-line drafts by hand, but works closely with his son Nick, who has replaced the pencil with a computer mouse.
Where We're Going
A Builder
for All
Today, Ver Woert Construction aims to be diverse, taking on a variety of different projects. From developing residential neighborhoods to crafting lakefront estates, our principles remain the same regardless of the project. Every home goes through the same process and is seen through to completion with the same level of attention to detail.
Three generations at the drafting table. Two generations on the jobsite. One unwavering standard of quality.
Our Approach
Design + Build,
Under One Roof
Whether working from our own designs or collaborating with an architect, Ver Woert Construction brings the same hands-on approach to every project. Because we understand design from the inside out, there's never a disconnect between what's drawn and what's built. Every line on the page is informed by real-world construction experience, and every nail driven on site reflects the original design intent.
The result? Homes that are designed to be built beautifully and built exactly as designed. No compromises, no miscommunication, no surprises.
