Home Renovations

Similar to Tenant Improvements, Home Renovations follow a similar process. Home renovation is a great way to enhance the look and eventually the value or a property by performing improvements to the finishing. Typically, home renovations include updating the kitchen, bathrooms and living room or even the appliances to give an overall improved look.  In most cases, the changes are minimal enough that it does not warrant any changes to the structure of the building. Home renovations require approval from the city unless it is confined to very minor interior work e.g. painting or changing crown molding. In some cases, city approval is not required at all. The homeowners can also engage a Home Renovator or Contractor to manage the renovations on their behalf; this includes engaging a designer to prepare drawings and seek city approval, interior design, material procurement including overseeing the renovations directly. The advantages of engaging a Home Renovator is the economies of scale on material procurement, understanding building code requirements, quality and risk avoidance of poor workmanship from untrustworthy trades persons when trying to perform the work on their own.

Design – The homeowner engages a Designer to prepare drawings for city approval if the homeowner decides to perform the renovations on his own. City staff review the drawings for compliance to the building code and provide comments should they not comply.

Approval – Upon complying with all building code requirements, the homeowner can proceed to renovate the home in accordance with the approved drawings.

Construction – Renovation work can commence when approval is given by the city. If the homeowner conducts the home renovations himself, he would be responsible to dispose of the construction debris himself and it should comply with recycling and disposal regulations. Alternatively, if the homeowner engages a Home Renovator, the disposal is pre-arranged by the Home Renovator.

Final Occupation Permit – For home renovations, no final occupation permit is required since the homeowner already resides in the home.
