Smaller additions cost more per foot than bigger ones 🏗️
⠀
It sounds backwards — but a 50 square foot bump-out and a 500 square foot addition share most of the same starting work. Excavation, structural tie-ins, rerouting electrical and plumbing. The setup costs roughly the same. Only the volume of new space changes.
⠀
What's actually inside the addition matters even more than the size. A kitchen or bathroom packs serious cost into the shell. A bedroom or open living space mostly comes down to finishes.

Most homeowners start a renovation by picking tile. The pros start somewhere completely different. 🔨

Goals before layouts. Scope before price. Budget in layers. Partner before product. The order matters more than most people realise — and it's the difference between a project that runs smoothly and one that spirals into surprises.

Swipe through for the four steps experienced design–build teams use to start every project — the ones that make the rest of the renovation feel planned instead of chaotic.

Why do most homeowners spend more on the master bathroom than the others? 🛁
⠀
It's not that the room itself is more complicated to build. It's that the master is the one you're using every day — the one where you give yourself the best shower, the nicest vanity, and the finishes you actually want to wake up to.
⠀
Bathrooms one and two tend to land in one range. The master almost always climbs from there. Same house, same trades, very different priorities.

Open concept looks effortless on Instagram. In an actual 1970s split-level or post-war bungalow, it looks like a maze of small rooms, low bulkheads, and a few mystery posts someone added in the 90s. 🏠

Most walls between kitchens, dining rooms, and living rooms in older Vancouver and Burnaby homes are doing structural work. Removing one usually means engineering, permits, beams — and a real conversation about what "open" actually means in your specific home.

Sometimes that means taking the whole wall down. Sometimes it's a half-wall, a wider opening, or keeping a strategic post that lets the rest open up. The answer almost always lives in the structure, not in the inspiration folder.

A basement renovation isn't just a finishing job 🛠️
⠀
A full basement re-do is one project. Adding a secondary suite is a different one altogether — fire separation, sound separation, separate power, plus kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry to plan around.
⠀
The cost depends entirely on what you're putting into it. Every time.

The main floor is for everyone else. The basement is for the family 🏡
⠀
A wet bar for movie nights. A fitness space with gym mats running where the floor used to be empty. A spa bathroom with a steam shower and sauna. A guest room that doubles as an office until friends fly in.
⠀
The most personal parts of a home are usually the ones guests never see — and the ones the family lives in every day.
⠀
That wraps the Dunbar tour 🎬 Six parts in. Plenty more to come as the finishes go in.

Three contractors. Three quotes. One is way cheaper than the others — and that's usually a red flag, not a deal 🔍

The number on page one rarely tells the full story. Allowances, exclusions, hidden conditions, contingencies — they all live in the details. And the contractor who skips past those details on the way to a low number is often the one who circles back with surprise costs once the walls are open.

Swipe through for three of the most important questions to ask before you sign — the ones that turn a confusing comparison into a clear one.

Indoors and outdoors shouldn't feel like two different homes 🌿
⠀
The dining room flows out to the deck. The deck steps down to a sunken patio. The patio sits between the house and the garage, with a hot tub tucked into the corner — quiet, enclosed, nestled in.
⠀
When the inside and the outside are designed together, the home gets bigger without adding a single square foot.

All-white kitchens still have their fans. But on real renovation projects, the combination quietly winning is white perimeter cabinets paired with a darker island or lower run. 🍳

Why? On Vancouver's grey winter days, white reflects the light you do have and keeps the room feeling bright. Darker lowers anchor the space, hide the scuffs from kids' shoes, vacuum bumps, and pet bowls — and give the room some weight, so it never feels washed out.

White where you want light. Dark where you need durability. A simple rule that solves a lot of decisions.

Permitting costs can vary widely, but the city fee itself usually ranges from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, depending on the scope. That’s just the cost of the permit itself to get things started.

The real expense comes from the permit drawings and the professionals needed for your project. For many projects, this can quickly add up to tens of thousands of dollars — and for more complex builds, it can easily exceed $100,000. 🏗️

Save this if you’re starting your renovation or custom build, and reach out to get clarity on the full cost breakdown.
