Questions about general contracting in Vancouver
Questions about general contracting in Vancouver
Quick answers to the things homeowners ask before starting.
What does a general contractor do in Vancouver?
A GC manages the entire renovation project — coordinating trades (plumbers, electricians, carpenters), pulling permits, scheduling inspections, managing the budget, and ensuring quality. RenoFiz helps you scope the project and connect with a GC.
When do I need a general contractor vs hiring trades directly?
For projects involving multiple trades (kitchen reno, bathroom, basement finishing), a GC is strongly recommended. For single-trade work like a simple plumbing repair, hiring a trade directly can save money. RenoFiz can help you decide.
How much does a general contractor cost in Vancouver?
GCs typically charge 10-20% of the total project cost as their fee, or $80-$150/hour for project management. On a $50,000 renovation, that's $5,000-$10,000. The value is in coordination, scheduling, problem-solving, and quality assurance.
Are general contractors licensed in Vancouver?
There's no general provincial license for renovation contractors in BC — BC Housing's residential-builder license applies to new-home construction, not renovations, and Consumer Protection BC doesn't license contractors either. What matters is valid liability insurance, WorkSafeBC coverage, and the right trade credentials for regulated work: Technical Safety BC licensing for electrical and gas work, and SkilledTradesBC certification for licensed plumbers, plus any required municipal permits. RenoFiz vets contractors on these before connecting you.
