How much does a luxury whole home or main floor renovation cost in Vancouver?

A full home or main floor renovation in Vancouver typically ranges from $300K to more than $800K, depending on the size of the home, the extent of structural changes, mechanical upgrades, and your selection of materials and finishes. Smithwood Builders provides detailed, transparent estimates tailored to your project so you can plan with confidence from the beginning.

Whole home and main floor renovations typically take  6  to 12  months, depending on structural requirements, the number of rooms involved, mechanical upgrades, and design complexity.

Most significant renovations require permits, especially when mechanical systems, walls, structure, or layouts are modified. We work closely with your architect or interior designer to ensure full compliance with Vancouver’s building codes and municipal requirements.

. We provide transparent invoices, lock in trade estimates, and issue change orders for your approval, supported by detailed scopes of work and proactive communication. Our long-standing relationships with trades and suppliers help us maintain consistent quality and avoid unnecessary delays or budget surprises. These trusted partnerships also earn us preferred pricing, which we pass directly on to you.

Yes. Sustainability is central to our process. We can integrate energy-efficient insulation, windows, mechanical systems, lighting, and sustainable materials to enhance performance and reduce environmental impact.

This depends on the scope of work. For extensive full-home renovations, temporary accommodations are often recommended. During planning, we help you understand what to expect so you can make the best choice for your family.
