Shaughnessy renovations. Exceptional homes renewed with architectural sensitivity.
QUAY Construction delivers premium residential and commercial renovations throughout Shaughnessy, Vancouver. We coordinate design, detailed pricing, consultants, permits, procurement and construction through one disciplined renovation process.
Preserve what matters. Improve everything around it.
Shaughnessy includes some of Vancouver’s most distinctive heritage, character and luxury residences, many of which require a careful balance between preservation and contemporary living.
Renovations may involve original millwork, formal room proportions, aging building systems, previous additions, structural changes, premium materials and significant consultant or permit requirements.
QUAY develops the renovation scope around the actual property. Architecture, existing conditions, design priorities, engineering, permits, procurement, site protection and trade sequencing are coordinated before construction begins.

The strongest Shaughnessy renovations feel timeless because the original property and the new work speak the same architectural language.
New kitchens, bathrooms, lighting, millwork and building systems should feel integrated rather than inserted into the existing home.
QUAY coordinates the visible design with the structural, plumbing, electrical, ventilation, waterproofing and construction work behind the completed interior.
