Yes, if your project involves structural changes, moving plumbing fixtures, or updating electrical circuits. For a typical $60,000 renovation, permit fees range from $600 to $900, while complex projects involving multiple trades can cost up to $2,200.
A standard renovation takes between 3 to 10 weeks. Cosmetic refreshes can be completed in 2-3 weeks, while full gut-renovations involving structural work or custom millwork often extend to 8-12 weeks due to permit inspections and material lead times.
Homes built before 1990 require mandatory asbestos testing (WorkSafe BC), which can cost $500-$1,000, with removal adding thousands more. Other common surprises include electrical panel upgrades ($3,000-$5,000) and structural corrections for uneven floors.
In 2026, semi-custom cabinets from local suppliers typically range from $18,000 to $35,000. Full custom millwork for luxury homes in neighborhoods like Shaughnessy can exceed $60,000, often representing 30-40% of the total project budget.
