How would you build one ?

Nope! It's not possible with existing technologies. There is some speculation that dark matter possesses anti-gravity, but no one knows for sure because no one has ever seen an actual sample of the stuff.
Personally, I believe we haven't really seen what can be done with electromagnetic forces yet. Humans only began to understand electricity in 1865, with the publication of Maxwell's equations. Since electromagnetic forces are inherently bi-directional and are countless trillions of times more powerful than gravity, I believe electrodynamics will eventually be utilized in ways we haven't even imagined yet. I have no similar hope for anti-gravity.

No, it's not possible. Nobody has a clue of how to build one.
The "anti-gravity" that maybe you have heard about in the news is a very very weak force (dark energy) that seems to be pushing the universe apart. For distances of less than a few 1000's of light-years, it doesn't add up to very much. It takes millions of light-years for the dark energy to add up to a big force.

Here's a question for you. If matter produces gravity, then would anti-matter produce anti-gravity?
My own theory is that anti-matter produces anti-gravity.

Nope ...it's fundamental that all things with mass attract

Theorically possible but pratically not...
