Built for the landscape
Local from the foundation up
A builder shaped by Tahoe.
Andrew grew up in Incline Village, helping his father build homes from age 12. After graduating from UNR with a Business Marketing degree, he spent 10 years managing 29 homes for a prominent local builder.
He formed Kokanee Construction in 2022 to bring that experience—and years of trusted trade relationships—to projects of every scale.
Completed work
Proof is in the finish.
Real Kokanee project photography, from whole homes to the rooms and details that make them personal.
Experience you can place
Twenty-nine homes of local experience.
Kokanee is new by design, not new to the work. Andrew’s path runs from job sites with his father, through other local contractors, to a decade leading projects for a prominent Tahoe builder.
“10 years and 29 homes later here we are!”
Andrew Benka, founder
What Kokanee builds
Every scale. One standard.
Mountain-modern is the specialty. Listening closely and building the right design is the standard.
Remodels
Thoughtful updates that respect the structure, setting, and way you use the home.
Custom details
Wood, glass, steel, and stone brought together with a mountain-modern point of view.
The local advantage
Good work runs on good relationships.
Years in the Tahoe building community have created strong relationships with quality local contractors. That trusted network lets Kokanee assemble the right team for a remodel, a custom detail, or an entire home.
