Finished to a higher standard.

A typical premium bathroom renovation runs 1 week of pre-planning followed by 1–2 weeks of on-site work. Projects with complex plumbing changes add an additional 2–4 weeks in pre-construction permit handling. Custom vanities and stone slabs are ordered before demolition starts so the schedule stays tight.

Permits are required across Greater Vancouver any time plumbing fixtures move, walls are removed, or electrical work goes beyond like-for-like fixture swaps. Pure cosmetic refreshes (tile, vanity, paint, fixtures in their existing locations) usually do not require a permit. Naybur Contracting handles the full permitting process — drawings, submission, inspections — in every municipality we serve.

A custom home in Greater Vancouver typically takes 9–14 months from permit-in-hand to occupancy, plus 3–8 months of pre-construction for design, geotech, structural engineering, and permitting. Heritage homes, oceanfront sites, and properties with complex grading extend that range. Every Naybur project includes a written schedule with milestone updates.

In most cases yes — but large workscopes spanning the entire home could need relocating. This is optional and we always work with the client's lifestyle and preference. We model both options in the written quote.

A general contractor manages construction trades against drawings supplied by a separate architect or designer. A design-build firm — like Naybur Contracting — handles both the design and construction phases under one roof. The result is one accountable team, one contract, one schedule, and faster decision-making because the designer and builder are the same group.

In BC, verify three things: an active WorkSafeBC clearance letter (proves the contractor carries workers' compensation coverage), commercial general liability insurance with at least $2M coverage, and verifiable references from completed projects in your area. Naybur supplies all documentation on request.

Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech) is the lowest-maintenance choice for the West Coast — fade-resistant, no annual refinishing, handles wet winters well. Vinyl decking is another premium option — fully waterproof, ideal for covered decks and rooftop applications. Cedar is the classic warm-grain option but requires cleaning and refinishing every 2–4 years.

Budget depends more on finish level than square footage. A like-for-like refresh (paint, flooring, fixtures, no structural work) is significantly less than a gut-and-rebuild with custom cabinetry, stone counters, mechanical upgrades, and structural alterations. Cost per square foot ranges widely in Greater Vancouver — the only honest number is the one a contractor puts on a written, itemised quote after a site visit. Naybur consultations and quotes are free.
