Permitting & Building Codes – Richmond’s building department requires permits for most bathroom renovations involving plumbing, electrical, or structural changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most bathroom renovations in Richmond require permits when work involves plumbing, electrical, or structural modifications. Cosmetic updates like paint and fixture replacement typically don’t require permits. QUAY Construction manages the entire permitting process, from application through final inspection, ensuring your renovation meets all City of Richmond building code requirements.
A standard bathroom renovation takes 4-6 weeks from demolition to completion. This includes demolition (2-3 days), rough plumbing and electrical (3-5 days), waterproofing and tile installation (1-2 weeks), fixture and cabinetry installation (3-5 days), and finishing work (2-3 days). Timeline variations occur based on project complexity, material availability, inspection scheduling, and strata-imposed working hour restrictions.
Yes, with proper strata approval. Richmond condo bathroom renovations require submission of renovation plans to your strata council, typically 2-4 weeks before construction begins. You’ll need to provide drawings, proof of contractor insurance, and a construction timeline. QUAY Construction handles all strata documentation and ensures compliance with building-specific regulations including noise restrictions and construction hours.
Budget expectations vary based on scope: powder rooms ($15,000-$25,000), full bathrooms ($25,000-$45,000), and primary ensuites ($40,000-$75,000+). Factors affecting cost include fixture quality, tile selections, cabinetry customization, plumbing relocations, and structural modifications. We provide detailed, itemized quotes during the planning phase so you understand exactly where your investment goes.
Richmond’s humidity requires careful material selection. We recommend porcelain tile over natural stone for floors (superior moisture resistance), quartz countertops (non-porous and low-maintenance), and proper ventilation systems (essential for moisture control). Avoid materials prone to water damage in high-humidity environments. Our team guides finish selections based on durability, maintenance requirements, and aesthetic preferences.
Construction creates noise and occasional disruptions, but we minimize impact through careful planning. We adhere strictly to strata-defined construction hours, provide neighbors with project timelines, coordinate material deliveries to avoid blocking access, and use dust containment systems. Most Richmond stratas require notification to adjacent units—we handle this communication as part of our project management process.
Our quotes include demolition and disposal, all labor costs, plumbing and electrical work, waterproofing, tile installation, fixtures and fittings, cabinetry, countertops, painting, permit fees, and project management. We itemize costs by category so you understand the investment breakdown. What’s not included: structural engineering (if required), strata fees, and optional upgrades identified after the initial scope is defined.
