2025
From transforming outdated interiors to building completely custom dream homes, 2025 is already shaping up to be a big year for residential construction in Vancouver.
At Square One Construction, we’ve seen firsthand what’s gaining momentum—and what’s no longer a priority—for local homeowners. Whether you’re planning a full renovation or just starting your research, here’s a closer look at the most in-demand projects we’re seeing across Greater Vancouver this year.
1. Full-Home Renovations for Modern Living
Vancouver’s older housing stock is prompting many families to renovate top to bottom instead of moving. Think open layouts, better insulation, improved energy performance, and sleek, modern finishes that match today’s lifestyles.
Why it’s trending:
- Renovations can often be more cost-effective than buying new
- Families want to stay in neighbourhoods they love
- Customisation is easier with a full renovation scope

2. High-Performance Outdoor Living Spaces
With spring and summer fast approaching, we’re building year-round outdoor spaces that are as beautiful as they are durable. From insulated patio covers to outdoor kitchens and fire features, homeowners are thinking beyond simple decks and patios.
Key upgrades:
- Composite decking and stonework built for BC’s weather
- Pergolas and awnings with lighting and heat
- Fully equipped outdoor cooking and dining areas

3. Kitchen and Bathroom Overhauls That Deliver ROI
Kitchens and bathrooms continue to dominate renovation requests in 2025—but we’re seeing a shift toward custom layouts and durable luxury rather than trendy finishes. Think hidden storage, appliance garages, smart showers, and timeless materials.
Why homeowners are investing:
- High-impact spaces for resale
- Upgrades that improve daily life and flow
- Efficiency-focused fixtures and finishes
