Quick Answers: Richmond Condo Renovations
How much does a condo renovation cost in Richmond?
Most projects depend on scope, finishes, and whether plumbing/electrical/layout changes are required. As a starting point, bathrooms often fall around $20,000–$35,000+, kitchens $40,000–$65,000+, and full condo renovations (2-bed) commonly start around $75,000–$100,000+ for a comprehensive remodel.
How long does a Richmond condo renovation take?
Build time is often 6–8 weeks for a full condo renovation once design decisions + strata approval are ready. Kitchen-only projects are often 3–4 weeks, and bathroom-only projects are often 2–3 weeks.
How long does strata approval take in Richmond?
Many buildings take 2–4 weeks, depending on their review process. We reduce delays by submitting a complete package the first time (scope, insurance/WCB docs, drawings/specs if required, and protection plan).
Do I need permits for condo renovations in Richmond?
Sometimes. If work involves plumbing, electrical, structural changes, or ventilation, permits may be required. We identify triggers early and coordinate permits/inspections when needed.
