Proposals document the intended work, inclusions and project pricing so expectations are established early.

Renovating a condo tower near Brentwood or Metrotown is fundamentally different from renovating an established detached home near Deer Lake or Capitol Hill. The construction plan should reflect those differences.

Condo renovations can involve strata approvals, construction-hour restrictions, elevator bookings, common-area protection, flooring requirements, deliveries and waste removal in addition to the renovation itself.

More than trades. A coordinated renovation.
A successful renovation depends on hundreds of connected decisions. Design affects plumbing. Cabinetry affects electrical. Flooring affects transitions. Materials affect scheduling. Building requirements affect logistics.
QUAY approaches Burnaby renovations as complete construction projects rather than disconnected trade scopes. The objective is to resolve as much as possible before work begins and then coordinate the project through a clear construction sequence.

Alterations
Changes affecting the existing building beyond minor cosmetic work may fall within Burnaby's alteration permit requirements.
Building systems
Structural, electrical, plumbing, gas, heating and other regulated work can trigger permits, inspections or supporting documentation.
