My husband and I built a brand new custom home with a suite with this company in Vancouver, BC. From the very beginning to the final completion of the project, VGC was a professional, respectful, punctual, dedicated, knowledgeable and easy-going company to work with. Joey was our project manager and was so pleasant to work with, and always responded right away to any concerns we had. We would use VGC again in a heart beat and happily provide references for them. My best friend and mother are also currently using them for renovations for their homes.. highly recommended!

As a person who has worked in customer service for almost 50 years, I believe it should be recognized when you recieve great service. Joey at VGC did just that. His friendly, quick response to my issue, even after reno completion, was outstanding. He worked with my schedule, and within a couple days the problem was fixed. Kudos to Joey and VGC.

From the initial consultation to the final touches, their team was incredibly helpful, professional, and responsive. They walked us through every step of the process, ensuring we were always informed and comfortable with how things were progressing. The quality of workmanship was outstanding, and they completed everything ahead of schedule.

Thanks again to the entire team for making our vision come to life! David Hayes2025-03-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just finished up with our condo renovation with the VGC team and we couldn’t be happier. Once we established our scope with the very personable Sal, we worked through the design and material selections with Mahsa and then Kia took over as the PM through construction. We were so thankful for Mahsa’s calm nature, guidance, expertise and professionalism through the whole process. Kia is the exact kind of person you want on your side in this line of work. He was professional, honest and always put us first as the client; we would have been lost without him. This team promised us our renovation in 6 weeks and got us into our new home in 5. Thank you so much to the whole team for all your hard work and determination to deliver this great project. I’ll look forward to working with you again 👍 David Fedor2025-03-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good meeting to select tiles and flooring.

Julian Evelyn2024-12-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently renovated our condo. Work included removing a kitchen wall, new kitchen, bathroom updates, new flooring, storage solutions and adding soundproofing. Joey and Mahsa were knowledgeable and professional. Mahsa had great suggestions, and came up with a design which was cohesive & listened to our wants. Joey says he will do something and keeps his word - Problem solving where needed. We are very happy with the design & project outcome.

warranty
In British Columbia, new homes are protected under the 2/5/10 Home Warranty, mandated by the Homeowner Protection Act. This comprehensive warranty provides peace of mind by ensuring high-quality construction and coverage against defects. Here’s a breakdown of what it includes:
Year 1: Includes defects in labor and materials for most parts of the home, such as walls, flooring, and fixtures.
Year 2: Focuses on defects related to mechanical systems like plumbing, electrical, and heating, as well as exterior cladding and windows.
The warranty offers protection against defects in the building envelope for five years. This includes issues with walls, roofs, or windows that could lead to water penetration and compromise the structural integrity of your home.
Structural defects are covered for ten years. This includes issues that could affect the home’s load-bearing components, such as the foundation, framing, or structural walls.
The 2/5/10 warranty ensures that homeowners can enjoy their new property with confidence, knowing that builders are held to high construction standards. Builders in BC are required to enroll new homes in a third-party warranty program, giving buyers added security.
At Vancouver General Contractors, we take pride in exceeding the standards set by the 2/5/10 warranty. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship and customer service ensures that your new home not only meets but surpasses expectations, leaving you with a home built to last.
If you’re planning your dream home, the 2/5/10 warranty is one more reason to trust us with your build.
Expert face-to-face advice for your renovation project.
No surprises, and no hidden fees.
Kia and Mahsa were great to work with. Mahsa was able to come up with a beautiful interior design for the kitchen and living space and works with you closely to ensure the finishes and final product are cohesive. Kia responded to my phone calls/text messages promptly when during our home renovation. His positive attitude throughout this renovation has made things much more enjoyable. I look forward to working with them again for future projects.
Our team of experts will do a free site evaluation with you, to go over zoning bylaws, setbacks, and municipal requirements, so that you have a clear understanding of what can be built.
We do it all for you. As experts we understand the complexities of working with the city and what they need for permitting. All the building permit will be part of our scope of work, so that you don't have to worry about it.
Every municipality is different from what they need for permits and how long it takes to issue them. Most municipalities are working towards being more efficient, and usually take 6-8 months to issue a permit.
Our projects are based on a fixed price quote, which means we will work with you at the design stage to create a quote for your build and allowances for all your materials. This way you are in the driver's seat with peace of mind of knowing what you will pay when the project is complete.
All builds are different and depend on their own set of complexities. But on average it is safe to budget between 10-12 months. Once you are working with us on the design, we will give you a better understanding of timelines based on your unique home.
We pride ourselves on quality and efficiency. Based on our extensive experience a typical custom house will take 10-12 months depending on complexity and site conditions.
No hidden fees or extra charges. We stick to the budget we gave you when we planned the project.
