"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."

"Square One did an exceptional job on our home renovation. Despite the unique engineering and design challenges, they were able to deliver a beautiful home that far exceeded our expectations. From the initial concepts to the final touches, the team was professional and willing to go beyond what's expected of a general contractor. Such an extensive renovation would not have been possible without Square One. We would certainly recommend them to anyone who wants to work with a contractor who has integrity, creativity, and the ability to deliver."

FAQ 

What makes building in Vancouver different? Vancouver has unique building regulations including heritage overlays, character home bylaws, and specific design guidelines that vary by neighborhood. Shaughnessy and First Shaughnessy have particularly strict requirements. We navigate these regulations daily and ensure your project moves through permits efficiently.

Do you handle the full new home build process? Yes. We manage everything from lot assessment and architect coordination through permit applications, demolition of existing structures, foundation, framing, mechanical systems, and all interior finishing. One team, one point of contact, start to finish.

Is it worth renovating vs. rebuilding in Vancouver? Given Vancouver's premium land values, both approaches can deliver excellent results. A luxury renovation preserves what works while transforming the rest, often with a shorter timeline. A new build gives you complete design freedom. We assess your property honestly and recommend the approach that best achieves your goals.

How long does a custom home build take in Vancouver? A typical custom home build in Vancouver takes 12 to 18 months from permit approval to occupancy. Permit processing adds 10 to 20 weeks before construction begins. Heritage areas may require additional review time. We provide a detailed construction schedule at the start of every project.
