What's Included
1. Pre-construction
- Existing-conditions survey + measurements
- Structural assessment (engineer when load-bearing or addition)
- BC Building Code review + permit package
- Heritage Alteration Permit (where applicable, City of Vancouver Heritage Conservation Areas)
- Schedule of Quantities + fixed-price contract
- 3D walkthrough (premium tier)
2. All Trades Under One Contract
- Demolition + asbestos abatement
- Structural carpentry + framing changes
- Electrical (200A panel upgrade typical)
- Plumbing (PEX-A re-pipe typical, gas line work)
- HVAC (heat pump install or full duct rework)
- Insulation upgrade (Vancouver homes often pre-2000 R-12 — bring to R-22 minimum)
- Drywall, paint, finish carpentry
- Flooring (hardwood, tile, LVP)
- Cabinetry + countertops + tile
- Roofing (when included in scope)
- Windows + exterior doors
3. What Drives Price Up
- Asbestos abatement in pre-1990 home: +$8K–$40K depending on extent
- Knob-and-tube wiring replacement (pre-1950 homes): +$15K–$35K
- Galvanized supply lines / lead pipe replacement: +$8K–$25K
- 200A panel upgrade + service entrance: +$5K–$10K
- Roof replacement when added to scope: +$15K–$35K
- Foundation crack repair / underpinning: +$10K–$80K
- Heritage / character preservation requirements: +15–30% on the relevant scope
- City of Vancouver permit fees (whole-house scope): $5K–$15K
- Engineer + architect (premium / structural scope): $15K–$50K
4. Timeline
| Scope | Duration |
|---|---|
| Cosmetic refresh | 3–6 months |
| Mid-range full reno | 6–10 months |
| Premium with structural | 10–14 months |
| Luxury / addition | 14–24 months |
5. Why Our Floor is $150K and Not $50K
A "$50K Vancouver whole-house renovation" is mathematically impossible in 2026 once you include:
- BC permit + inspection: $4K–$12K
- Asbestos test (required pre-1990) + abatement: $5K–$30K
- 200A panel upgrade (most older homes need this): $5K–$10K
- Even a single bathroom + kitchen refresh: $40K–$70K
Anyone quoting under $150K for "whole house" is either limiting scope to a single room, hiding extras in change orders, or not pulling permits.
6. What's Always Included
- Written milestone-based contract (not lump-sum cash)
- BC Building Code permit package (we file, you pay City fees direct)
- Structural engineer coordination
- $5M CGL + WorkSafeBC
- 3-year workmanship warranty
- Daily site cleanup, weekly photo documentation
- Single project manager (one phone number, one email)
- Itemized invoices for tax / insurance
7. Free In-Home Consultation
Whole-house projects start with a 2-hour walkthrough — full home survey, scope discussion, ballpark range, and (if you proceed) a fixed-price written contract within 14 days. Free, no obligation.
