Renovations

Renovate the home you have.

Whole-home renovations, kitchens, bathrooms, and interior work planned with the existing house before construction begins.

Renovation scope

Is WDB a fit for your renovation?

WDB takes on renovations where the existing house, design decisions, and construction work must be planned together. WDB coordinates scope, costs, permits, trades, and site work.

Whole-home renovations

Interior and structural rework coordinated from design through construction.

Kitchen overhauls

Cabinetry, stone, lighting, and layout decisions aligned before site work starts.

Bathroom remodeling

Tile, millwork, plumbing, and fixtures planned and installed as one job.

Additions and extensions

Foundation, framing, envelope, and permit coordination for expanded footprints.

How a renovation moves from site visit to completion.

Existing conditions, scope, costs, permits, procurement, and site sequence are addressed before construction begins.

Questions to settle early.

Share the property, proposed scope, known site conditions, and a budget range if you have one.

What happens after the first site visit?

WDB develops an early scope and working budget range, then identifies the allowances and unknowns that must be addressed during design.

When do cost decisions enter the process?

They begin with the estimate and remain visible through design. Open-book cost-plus keeps real costs, trade-offs, and scope decisions in the same conversation.

What does a renovation usually cost?

Typical ranges for whole-home, kitchen, bathroom, and addition projects — and the factors that move them — are published on the project estimator.

Where does WDB take on renovation work?

Across South and Central Vancouver Island, including Nanaimo, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Nanoose Bay, Ladysmith, Chemainus, Duncan, Cowichan Valley, Greater Victoria.
