From Permits to Final Walkthrough: How We Run Renovation Projects

Renovating a home in Metro Vancouver can feel overwhelming if you try to manage everything on your own. There are permits to obtain, trades to coordinate, inspections to pass and hundreds of decisions to make. At Saade Building & Renovations, we follow a clear process that guides our clients from the first idea to the final walkthrough with confidence. Here is how we typically run a renovation project from start to finish.

1. Initial consultation and site visit

Every project begins with a conversation. We listen to your goals, budget and timeline, then visit your home to assess the existing conditions. This allows us to understand what is structurally possible, what challenges may exist and how we can deliver the results you want.

2. Concept, scope and detailed quote

Next, we help define the scope of work: which rooms will be renovated, what structural or layout changes are needed, and what level of finishes you are aiming for. Based on this, we provide a detailed written quote outlining labour, materials and allowances. This step ensures you have a clear picture of the investment before moving forward.

3. Permits and planning

Many renovations in Metro Vancouver require building permits, especially when structural, plumbing or electrical changes are involved. Our team helps coordinate drawings, engineering (when required) and permit applications with the municipality. We also develop a project schedule so you know what will happen and when.

4. Construction and ongoing communication

Once permits are approved and materials are ordered, construction begins. We protect existing areas of your home as much as possible and keep the work site organized. Regular updates and check-ins are a core part of our process so you always know how the project is progressing. If decisions or changes are needed, we discuss them with you openly before moving ahead.

5. Inspections, finishing touches and final walkthrough

During the renovation, required inspections are scheduled and passed as work is completed. After major work is done, we focus on details: trim, caulking, paint touch-ups, hardware and final cleaning. We then walk through the project with you, address any last items and make sure you are fully satisfied with the results.
