Vancouver General Contractor — Free Quote in 24 Hours

Who We Are — Vancouver’s Trusted General Contractor

Vancouver General Contractors (VGC) is a licensed, fully insured general contractor serving homeowners and property investors across Metro Vancouver. Since 2010 we have been designing, permitting and building renovations and custom homes in Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, North Vancouver, West Vancouver and Coquitlam.

Over that time we have completed more than 500 residential projects — from straightforward kitchen refreshes to ground-up custom home builds. We are a multi-year Best of Houzz winner, a Baeumler Approved contractor, a Georgie Award recipient, and proud members of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association.

At VGC, every project is managed from start to finish by our in-house team. That means one company coordinates your design consultation, engineering drawings, municipal permits, demolition, structural work, mechanical rough-ins, finishing trades and final inspections. You never have to source, vet or coordinate separate subcontractors — we handle it all under one fixed-price contract.

What We Do — Renovation & Construction Services

General Contracting in Vancouver

As a full-service general contractor in Vancouver, VGC coordinates every trade, permit and inspection so you don’t have to. Our general contracting services cover residential projects of every scale — from targeted room upgrades and structural repairs to complete gut renovations and ground-up new-build construction.

When you hire VGC as your general contractor, you receive a detailed, line-item fixed-price contract, a single point of contact who knows every detail of your build, and a clear construction schedule you can hold us to. We believe a great general contractor delivers not just quality work but total transparency and peace of mind.

Whether you need a general contractor for a bathroom remodel or a year-long custom home build, VGC brings the same level of project management rigour and trade-quality execution to every job.

Kitchen Renovations in Vancouver

A kitchen renovation is consistently rated the single highest-ROI upgrade a Vancouver homeowner can make. VGC’s kitchen renovation team handles every aspect of the project — from initial layout redesign and 3D renderings through demolition, structural modifications, plumbing and electrical rough-ins, custom cabinetry installation, countertop templating, tile backsplashes, under-cabinet lighting and appliance hookups.

Whether you envision a contemporary open-concept kitchen renovation with waterfall quartz island or a classic shaker-style kitchen renovation with warm wood tones, our designers will create a plan that fits your lifestyle, your timeline and your budget.

Every VGC kitchen renovation comes with a guaranteed fixed-price contract — no surprise change orders, no budget spiral, no allowances that balloon after signing. Our Vancouver kitchen renovations typically run 8–14 weeks from contract signing to final walkthrough, including permit processing and material lead times.

Bathroom Renovations in Vancouver

From compact condo ensuites and half-bath powder rooms to luxurious spa-style master bathrooms, VGC delivers bathroom renovations that combine thoughtful function with beautiful finishes. Our bathroom renovation process always starts with a thorough waterproofing assessment and a structural evaluation of the subfloor and wall framing — steps many contractors skip.

A typical VGC bathroom renovation scope includes all demolition, plumbing rough-in, electrical updates, waterproof membrane installation, floor and wall tiling, custom vanity and mirror installation, heated flooring, frameless glass shower enclosures and ventilation upgrades.

We work with you to select fixtures and finishes that fit your aesthetic — from modern matte-black hardware to timeless marble tile. A VGC bathroom renovation typically takes four to seven weeks and always includes our two-year workmanship warranty.

Basement Renovations & Legal Suites in Vancouver

Unlock your home’s hidden square footage — and hidden revenue — with a professional basement renovation by VGC. We build finished basements, income-generating legal suites and in-law suites that meet every requirement of Vancouver’s secondary-suite bylaws and the BC Building Code.

Our basement renovation team manages the full scope: moisture mitigation and drainage systems, foundation crack repair, egress window installation, separate-entrance construction, full kitchen and bathroom rough-ins, fire separation between dwelling units, sound insulation, HVAC zoning and all required permit submissions and inspections.

VGC has completed dozens of basement renovations across Vancouver’s east and west sides, and we understand the municipal approval process inside and out. Whether you want a simple finished recreation space or a fully self-contained rental suite, our team will deliver a result that adds lasting value to your property.

Condo Renovations in Vancouver (Strata-Friendly)

Renovating a condo in Vancouver means navigating a unique set of challenges that don’t apply to detached homes: strata council approvals, building-access schedules, freight-elevator bookings, noise-restriction bylaws, shared-wall and shared-plumbing considerations, and insurance certificate requirements.

VGC handles strata applications, provides all required insurance documentation, coordinates with building managers on access and delivery logistics, and notifies adjacent neighbours before any noisy work begins. From targeted kitchen and bathroom upgrades to full condo gut jobs that transform a dated layout into a modern open-concept living space, we work within strata timelines and building rules to minimise disruption.

Every condo renovation we complete meets or exceeds strata requirements and includes our fixed-price guarantee — so your strata approval matches the final cost, with no surprises.

Full Home & Major Renovations in Vancouver

When your home needs more than a single room update, VGC’s full home renovation service delivers a coordinated, whole-house transformation managed by one team under one contract. A full home renovation typically involves structural modifications — removing load-bearing walls, adding beams, reinforcing foundations — along with complete mechanical upgrades, new insulation, window and door replacements, and premium finishes on every level.

Our full home renovation process includes a dedicated project manager, weekly written progress reports with photos, a transparent draw schedule tied to construction milestones, and pre-construction 3D renderings so you can see the finished result before a single wall comes down.

A full home renovation is the most complex residential project a general contractor can undertake — which is exactly why having a single, experienced firm manage every moving part is so critical to a successful outcome.

Custom Homes & Laneway Houses in Vancouver

Building a custom home in Vancouver is one of the most significant investments you will ever make — and one of the most rewarding when it’s managed by the right builder. VGC is a BC HPO-registered builder and constructs custom homes and laneway houses from the ground up.

We manage every phase: architecture coordination, structural and geotechnical engineering, municipal permit submissions, excavation and shoring, concrete foundations, framing, building-envelope systems, mechanical rough-ins, interior finishing and final occupancy permits. Our builds follow a fixed-price contract model that eliminates budget uncertainty and open-ended allowances.

Vancouver’s laneway housing program allows homeowners on most single-family lots to add a secondary dwelling, and VGC has built laneway houses in neighbourhoods across the city. Whether you are building your family’s forever home or adding a laneway rental suite, VGC brings the project management discipline and construction quality your investment deserves.

Home Additions & Extensions in Vancouver

Need more space without the cost and disruption of selling and moving? A home addition by VGC gives you the extra square footage your growing family needs while keeping you in the neighbourhood you love. We build second-storey additions, rear extensions, side bump-outs, garage-to-living conversions and above-garage suites across Metro Vancouver.

Every home addition requires structural engineering, updated foundation work, roof tie-ins, building-envelope integration and full municipal permit approvals — VGC manages all of it. Our home addition projects are designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing structure so the result looks and feels like it was always part of the original home.

How We Work — The VGC Process

Fixed-price contracts — guaranteed. Before we swing a hammer, you receive a detailed, line-item quote with a guaranteed total price. Every material, every trade, every permit fee is accounted for upfront. Our fixed-price model means you know exactly what your renovation will cost on the day you sign — no allowances that balloon, no surprise change orders, no “we didn’t expect that” invoices. If the scope doesn’t change, the price doesn’t change. Period.

Weekly updates and a single point of contact. Your dedicated project manager sends written progress reports every week, complete with site photos and a look-ahead schedule for the coming days. You will never have to chase subcontractors, wonder what is happening on site, or decode a confusing draw request. One call, one email, one person who knows every detail of your project from the foundation up. Contact us to learn more about our project management approach.

Two-year workmanship warranty. Every VGC project is backed by a comprehensive two-year warranty on all workmanship, in addition to manufacturer warranties on materials, fixtures and appliances. If something is not right — a tile grout line that cracks, a door that sticks, a paint touch-up that is needed after settling — we come back and fix it at no cost. No questions asked, no fine print, no run-around.

Licensed and fully insured. VGC maintains full WorkSafeBC coverage for every worker on every job site. We hold all required municipal business licences for the cities we operate in and are a registered BC contractor. When you hire VGC, you are hiring a contractor that operates with the professionalism and accountability your project demands.
