Condo Renovations
Richmond.
Complete condo renovations planned as one connected interior — from kitchens and bathrooms to flooring, lighting, millwork, painting and the building logistics required to bring it all together.
Think beyond
individual rooms.
A complete condo renovation works best when the suite is planned as one interior.
Flooring runs between rooms. Cabinetry influences circulation. Lighting needs to work across the entire home. Paint, doors, hardware and millwork should feel intentional rather than assembled project by project.
Planning the condo together creates a more consistent result and allows construction to be coordinated as one project.
Layout
Reconsider how the kitchen, living areas, bedrooms and circulation work together.
Materials
Build a consistent palette across cabinetry, tile, flooring, countertops and finishes.
Systems
Plan electrical, plumbing, lighting and other technical work around the complete renovation.
Details
Carry doors, trim, hardware, paint and finishing consistently throughout the suite.
A condo can feel
completely different.
Renovating an entire suite creates opportunities that are difficult to achieve through isolated room updates.
Can the kitchen connect more naturally with the living area?
Would new flooring create better continuity through the suite?
Can built-in millwork improve storage without adding clutter?
Would revised lighting change how the interior feels?
Can doors, trim and hardware create a more cohesive finish?
One suite.
Many connected scopes.
Whole-condo renovations combine finish work with plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, surfaces, flooring and building requirements. Each component influences what happens before and after it.
Kitchen
Cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, appliances, plumbing, lighting and electrical.
Bathrooms
Showers, tubs, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, vanities and ventilation.
Flooring
New flooring coordinated with transitions, cabinetry, doors and existing elevations.
Millwork
Media walls, built-ins, wardrobes, storage and custom architectural details.
Lighting
General, task and feature lighting coordinated throughout the suite.
Finishing
Doors, hardware, trim, painting, wall finishes and final detailing.
Start with the rooms
that work the hardest.
Kitchens and bathrooms usually contain the greatest concentration of cabinetry, plumbing, electrical, surfaces and technical work within a condo.
Improve flow, storage and everyday function.
Build comfortable wet spaces around lasting details.
Use the walls
more intelligently.
Storage is especially valuable when every square foot matters.
Built-in cabinetry can create media storage, display areas, workspaces and concealed organization without filling the suite with additional freestanding furniture.
Complete the rest
of the interior.
Whole-condo renovations allow secondary spaces to receive the same level of planning as the kitchen and bathrooms.
The renovation happens
inside a larger building.
A condo project needs to account for more than the work occurring inside the suite.
Strata requirements, access, elevators, common-area protection, permitted work hours, waste removal and building systems may all affect how construction is planned and performed.
Strata Requirements
Identify applicable building rules, approvals and documentation.
Access + Elevators
Coordinate material movement and applicable elevator bookings.
Common Areas
Account for building requirements related to corridors and shared areas.
Technical Constraints
Plan around plumbing, electrical, ventilation and other building-specific conditions.
Work Hours
Schedule applicable work within building and strata restrictions.
What should you budget

Whole-condo pricing depends on suite size, kitchen and bathroom scope, flooring, cabinetry, lighting, building requirements, technical work and level of finish.

One project needs
one point of coordination.
Whole-condo renovations involve overlapping scopes. Flooring affects cabinetry. Lighting affects millwork. Plumbing affects bathrooms and kitchens. Building access affects procurement and construction.
QUAY manages those components as one renovation rather than leaving the homeowner to coordinate separate trades and suppliers.
