Permits and approvals in Vancouver

The City of Vancouver operates a 3-3-3-1 Permit Approval Framework — three-day fast-track approvals for simple residential renovations under $95,000, three-week timelines for standard projects, and full review for larger structural work currently running 8–12 weeks. The City requires a Building Permit for renovations involving plumbing relocation, electrical service changes, gas line work, structural alterations, or new bedrooms and secondary suites. The Development & Building Services Centre at 515 West 10th Avenue handles applications, and Renew Co manages the entire process — drawings, professional stamps, sub-permits, and inspections.

Why hire a Vancouver renovation contractor who knows the city

Working in Vancouver day in and day out means we already know the local permit officers, the building inspectors, the strata council playbooks, the cabinet shops that deliver on time, the tile suppliers worth using, and the trades who show up. We're not learning Vancouver on your project. Every quote reflects the actual cost of building in Vancouver in 2026 — not a generic number from a national renovation cost guide.
