July 

If you’re planning to renovate this fall, the smartest move you can make is to start now.

While July might still feel like the middle of summer, experienced homeowners know this is actually the ideal time to get a head start on fall projects—especially in Vancouver, where permits, trades, and material timelines don’t always align perfectly with the weather.

At Square One Construction, we help homeowners plan ahead so their projects run smoothly. Here’s why July is the perfect time to kick things off.

1. Beat the Fall Rush

By the time September rolls around, contractors across the Lower Mainland are already booked into late fall—or even next year. Starting your renovation prep now means you secure your construction team, set your timelines, and avoid project delays.

Pro Tip: If your renovation includes exterior work (like roofing or siding), you’ll want that scheduled before rainy season hits.

2. Get Ahead on Permits and Planning

Renovations that involve structural changes, plumbing, or electrical work almost always require permits—and those approvals take time. Starting in July allows for:

• Design consultations and revisions
• Permit submission and approval windows
• Proper time to source finishes and fixtures

When you plan ahead, you can make design decisions without pressure and avoid settling for materials that are backordered or unavailable.

3. Finish Before the Holidays

Whether you're redoing your kitchen or remodelling your main floor, no one wants to be in the middle of a renovation during Thanksgiving or the December holidays.

A summer project launch ensures your renovation wraps up before the end of the year—so your home is ready for hosting, relaxing, and enjoying.
