ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE

Here at BRD Builds we are passionate about every van we build. We believe in creating purposeful spaces that suit your lifestyle. Our builds blend form and function, through strategically designed layouts ensuring that every detail serves a purpose. From the choice of materials to the actual layout of the design, we prioritize quality and the small details to deliver a van that aligns with your vision.

With our background in woodworking and custom cabinetry, we know what it takes to create a one of a kind build. With the journey ahead, we know it’s more than just a road trip, it's an experience.

Our custom builds are crafted to blend luxury and adventure together with the end goal to create mobile sanctuaries that redefine the way you travel. It’s our goal to make your home, weekender, or road-tripper exactly what you’ve imagined. Whether it’s adding personal touches that make your van yours like a surf rack, storage for the mountain bikes, or a nook for your furry friend, we will always prioritize the details that matter most to you.

BEHIND THE BUILDS

Braydyn Deleeuw - Owner/Carpenter

“With years of experience in general construction, finish woodworking, and custom cabinetry, I’ve developed the skills to transform just about any space into something comfortable and livable. Spending time living a nomadic lifestyle on the road also taught me a lot about minimalistic living and how to integrate everything you actually want and need into a rig.

Bringing those two sides together is what makes building vans so enjoyable for me. My experience on the road, combined with my background in building, allows me to envision and create really capable off-grid rigs. I love the challenge of working within a small space, making use of every square inch, and making sure no nook or cranny goes to waste.

At the end of the day, I want each space to feel comfortable, functional, and good to be in, while still giving you the freedom to travel wherever you want. Building this way really makes you figure out what’s important and what you actually need with you on the road. Because if it doesn’t fit in the rig, it ain’t coming!”
