One contractor for Vancouver's mix of old and new housing
Vancouver housing runs from pre-war character homes in Kitsilano and Dunbar to concrete towers downtown, and each type needs a different approach. Older homes often hide knob and tube wiring, undersized framing, or plaster walls that complicate what looks like a simple job. Newer condos come with strata rules, elevator bookings, and noise bylaws instead. Because we coordinate every trade ourselves, carpentry, drywall, doors and windows, plumbing and electrical subs, you get one plan and one person responsible for it. That matters in a city where a renovation can involve four or five trades before the paint goes on.
How we handle City of Vancouver permits
Vancouver has one of the more involved permitting processes in the region, particularly for structural changes, additions, and work on older character homes in neighbourhoods like Kerrisdale and East Vancouver. As your general contractor, we identify what your project needs, prepare the application, and manage inspections through to sign off, so you are not chasing paperwork between city departments. Permits are generally required for structural, plumbing, and electrical work, and skipping them can create real problems when you sell. We build permit timelines into the project schedule up front, so approvals do not stall your renovation halfway through.
Renovating while you live in your Vancouver home
Most of our Vancouver clients stay in their homes during the work, and we plan around that. That means dust barriers between the work zone and living areas, a working bathroom and kitchen kept available whenever possible, daily cleanup, and a crew that shows up when they say they will. In condos in Yaletown and Mount Pleasant we also handle strata notifications, elevator bookings, and quiet hours so you stay on good terms with your neighbours. A renovation is disruptive enough without surprises, so we walk you through the sequence of work before we start and keep you updated as each stage wraps.
