Burnaby Renovation Contractors  

The 
Square 
One 
Experience 

We believe that building a home has the power to transform the lives lived within it. A home is more than just a structure, it's a sanctuary, a place where families gather, where memories are created, and where life's most meaningful moments unfold. It's where you start and end each day, celebrate milestones, and find comfort. The functionality of your home, the design aesthetic and the layout can monumentally affect the way you operate, the way you feel and ultimately the way you live. That's why we approach every project with a deep appreciation for what your home truly represents, one of the most significant and personal investments you will ever make.

When building or renovating a home we understand the importance about the end result and what's equally valuable is the experience along the way. Our clients want more than a beautiful home; they want to work with people they trust, enjoy the journey, and feel confident every step of the way. At Square One, this is an important and collaborative process that allows us to create something exceptional together. As builders, we are creators at heart and see every project as a blank canvas. Bringing a vision to life is at the heart of what we do and is incredibly rewarding. Beyond the craftsmanship, what matters most is the relationship we build with you. We take great pride in knowing that the homes we create can improve the way people function and live. Your home will hold a lifetime of memories, and we are committed to being responsible stewards of your investment working alongside top-tier architects, designers, and craftsmen to deliver beautiful homes along with an enjoyable experience.

"We engaged Square One for a renovation of our home. Having worked for a number of years in the building trades, I was naturally skeptical about how smoothly our renovation project was likely to progress. We anticipated the not uncommon frustrations of unfulfilled expectations we have come to expect from many participants in the construction industry. Not so with Square One. Jordan and every member of the team was simply a delight to work with from start to finish. They were ever respectful of our home and our privacy and provided us excellent continual communications. Always engaged with and responsible for all sub trades, always ready with valuable insights into both design elements and choice of materials and there were no corners cut. The quality of workmanship and adherence to structural and design integrity was beyond expectations. Well done. We would happily utilize their services in the future and whole-heartedly recommend Square One to others without Reservation."

"The professionalism that Jordan and his team brought to our project caught me off guard. I expected this kind of attention to a large-scale project not our small simple renovation. It was clear from the start that the knowledge and experience was there. The transparency of the entire project was great. Everything was visible online including timesheets, invoices, schedule, budget summary and payments. They were professional, personable and I never had to wait more than 5 minutes for a return phone call to my many stupid questions. There were never problems, just solutions. I can't say enough about his crew! The trades people were all great and personable folks. They were very respectful of our space and our vision for our home and were all very good at what they do. I often checked on the work performed and was always left completely satisfied. I would highly recommend Square One contracting to my family and closest friends."

"From initial meeting with Jordan to discuss plans and budgets to final completion, we cannot overstate our total satisfaction with Square One. Project came in on budget and time. Like most complex renovations we added changes along the way, which added to the cost and time frame however the Square One team calculated our requests quickly and ensured no surprises and kept us on time and on budget. Special mention would be to the quality and professionalism of all the sub trades who worked on this project, it is obvious that they are happy to be part of the Square One team. And it was pronounced that all trades took pride in their work and would not settle for anything less than perfection! Top marks to our site manager who handled all of our concerns and met with us on an almost daily basis to keep us informed of who, why, where and what would be happening at our home. The worksite was always impeccably clean which was awesome to see. We are thrilled with our home and thoroughly happy to recommend the Square One team to anyone wanting top quality construction and workmanship."

WHO 
WE 
ARE 

Our 
Process 

01

Service 
Proposal 

The planning and feasibility phase begins with a consultation meeting where we align on the overall direction and essence of the project. We create a custom presentation for your project which includes a scope of work document, detailed budget, and timeline to review with you. We explain the holistic construction process in detail to ensure you have a complete understanding of how everything works so that you can feel confident in moving forward.

02

Pre-Construction 

The pre-construction phase covers everything required before construction can begin. Since every project is unique, we identify all items that are required. This could include zoning analysis, site survey, energy audit, hazmat testing, consultant reports, engineering, permit drawings, interior design, quote collection, budget assembly, construction scheduling etc. Once we've completed all the requirements we submit the package to the city for building permits. The pre-construction phase is concluded with a formal client sign off on all design work, scope of work, budget and schedule.

03

Construction 
& 
Completion 

The demolition and construction phase is where all the pre-construction planning comes to fruition. Our dedicated construction managers personally oversee each project. Communication is vital which is why we send regular progress reports, site photos and updates to ensure you're up to date and in control. You can access all project information online 24/7 to ensure you know where your budget and schedule are at any moment. At the end of the project, we complete a comprehensive completion walkthrough tour to ensure you can enjoy peace of mind knowing you'll be taken care of with our comprehensive warranty.
