Vancouver
Vancouver's housing spans a full century: craftsman character homes in Kitsilano and East Van, stately interwar houses on the West Side's wider lots, Vancouver Specials from the '60s through the early '80s with their ready-made ground-floor suites, and the condos and townhouses of Downtown, Yaletown, and False Creek.

The Hidden Cost of
Renovating here means working through everything the decades leave behind: layers of past renovations, lath-and-plaster walls, hidden rot, undersized structure, and materials like asbestos that demand proper handling. That is the work we know best. Most of our Vancouver projects are full home renovations and major kitchen and bathroom remodels in character-era houses, alongside complete condo and townhouse transformations downtown, including an award-finalist townhouse renovation on Homer Street.
Most of the city sits on narrow 33-foot lots, so Vancouver renovations rarely build out. They build up, down, and back instead: basement suites, laneway homes, and rear additions that pull more living space from the same footprint. And the options keep expanding. Under the City's evolving multiplex zoning, a standard lot that once held a single house can now carry several homes. Whichever direction your property takes, we keep the whole project under one contract: permitting, planning, and construction handled by our team, with trusted designers from our network who can work directly through us.

QUESTIONS?
faq
-
Yes, and we plan for it rather than react to it. Homes of this era get hazardous-materials testing before demolition starts, certified abatement handles anything found, and dated wiring and plumbing are replaced as part of the renovation, so discoveries become line items, not crises.
-
In many cases, yes. The City's multiplex rules are still evolving, and what a lot can carry depends on its size, frontage, and zoning. We help owners work through the options, laneway home, suite, addition, or a larger conversion, before committing to a design.
-
Yes, complete transformations, not just cosmetic refreshes. We manage strata approvals, elevator bookings, noise-bylaw scheduling, and neighbour relations, and our downtown work includes an award-finalist townhouse renovation on Homer Street.
-
Usually, though older Vancouver basements often need real work to get there, sometimes lowering the slab or underpinning for ceiling height, always proper waterproofing and egress. One of our East Vancouver conversions turned an unfinished basement into a legal two-bedroom suite, including re-grading the sewer line to the city connection.
-
Yes. Drawings, engineer coordination, and the permit application are managed as part of our process, so the project stays compliant from the first day on site.
