Metro Vancouver, BC New project enquiries welcome
2026 Metro Vancouver renovation planning

Renovation costs,
without the confusion.

Understand typical local market costs before you request a quote. These five example scopes show what a project often involves, and what may change the final price.

Important: All amounts below are approximate 2026 regional market planning ranges in Canadian dollars. They are not North Vela fixed prices, discounts, or binding package offers. Prices generally exclude GST unless specified; material choices, access, actual room sizes, removal, permits and site conditions can substantially change the cost. North Vela provides a project-specific written quote after scope review.
