Common Questions

As of 2026, the City of Vancouver charges a base plumbing permit fee of $282 for up to three fixtures, with $88.70 for each additional fixture. Building permits typically add another 1-2% of the total project value based on the estimated cost of construction.

Condo renovations typically start at $25,000 in 2026. The higher cost is due to strata requirements, limited work hours, elevator booking fees, and specialized plumbing/electrical constraints common in Vancouver high-rises.

Homeowners in Vancouver can expect a Return on Investment (ROI) of approximately 65% to 75%, making it one of the most profitable interior renovations for increasing resale value in the local real estate market.

A standard full renovation typically takes 3 to 6 weeks. However, custom luxury projects or those requiring structural changes can extend to 8-10 weeks due to permit inspections and material lead times for high-end finishes.
