Elite Contracting Ltd. works as a general contractor in Vancouver, BC, running each project under one contract and one schedule instead of leaving you to chase separate trades. The work covers residential renovation from a single room to a whole house, and commercial tenant improvements for offices, daycares, restaurants and retail units.
Vancouver issues its own building permits. An addition, moved interior walls, or a new or legalized secondary suite needs one, and simple residential renovations under $250,000 can go through the city’s Residential Renovation Fast Track, which issues permits within a week. We prepare those applications as part of the job. Estimates cost nothing, and the form on this page starts one.

Hire one general contractor and every trade on the project answers to the same schedule. In Vancouver we take on:
From a condo bathroom to a whole Vancouver Special, Elite Contracting Ltd. runs the project under one contract, one schedule, and one workmanship warranty. Browse all of our home renovation services to see the residential side in detail, or see the general contractor work in Surrey we run from the shop’s own side of the river. We also renovate condos and strata units in Vancouver.
Vancouver’s housing was built in layers, and each layer behaves differently once the drywall comes off. A general contractor working here every week learns what each era of home is hiding, and that knowledge shows up in tighter estimates and fewer surprises mid-project.
Pre-1970 houses in Kitsilano, Dunbar and East Van often still run galvanized plumbing, an undersized electrical panel, and sometimes knob-and-tube wiring. We plan those upgrades into the scope before finishes go on, and the city has a program for retaining character houses when that matters to you.
Thousands of them went up between 1965 and 1985, built to squeeze the most floor space out of a standard lot. That same layout makes them strong candidates for a legal suite downstairs or an opened-up main floor, and we build both.
Creating or legalizing a suite in Vancouver runs through its own city approval process, with egress, fire separation and inspections to satisfy. We manage that whole path for you.
The West End has run on residential towers since the late 1950s, and strata work comes with approvals and notice periods before a single wall opens. We are used to building inside those rules.
Vancouver issues its own building permits, and trade permits and inspections for electrical, plumbing and building work are booked through the city as construction moves. We prepare the applications and deal with the inspectors so the paperwork never stalls the build.
We work from 10220 120 St in Surrey, on the Scott Road corridor. Crews reach Vancouver in roughly 30 to 45 minutes by Highway 91 and the Knight Street Bridge, or Highway 99 through the George Massey Tunnel, which puts the whole city inside a normal working morning. Renovation permits here go through the City of Vancouver, and we handle those applications as part of the job.
Plenty of Vancouver homeowners start by phoning trades one at a time. Here is how the two paths compare on a real renovation.
| With Elite as your GC | Managing trades yourself | |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduling | We sequence the electrician, plumber, drywaller and finishers so nobody waits on anybody. One Metro Vancouver client hired us to turn their commercial space into a modern office, and framing through finishes ran on one schedule under one contract. | You become the project manager. Each trade books on their own calendar, and a plumber running three days late can idle the drywaller you booked for Thursday. |
| Accountability | One contract and one number to call. If something needs fixing, we fix it under our workmanship warranty. | When a finished wall hides a problem, each trade can point at the other. There is no single warranty covering the whole job. |
| Permits | We prepare and manage the City of Vancouver applications, check whether the fast track applies, book the inspections, and keep the file clean. | The homeowner carries the permit file, the drawings, and the inspection bookings alone. |
We meet you at the property, measure, and listen to what you actually want changed before anyone talks numbers.
You get a clear written scope and schedule, priced from what we saw on site rather than from a phone description.
We file with the City of Vancouver where the work needs it, then run demolition, framing, mechanical and finishing with our own crews.
We review every room with you, correct anything on the deficiency list, and back the work with our workmanship warranty.
Framing, electrical coordination, plumbing, drywall, paint and trim all run under our roof, so the schedule holds.
The same company that renovates a Kitsilano character home also builds out offices and daycares, so complex projects do not scare us.
Elite Contracting Ltd. carries full insurance and stands behind every project with a workmanship warranty.
Clients across Vancouver, Surrey and the rest of Metro Vancouver rate us 5.0. Read them before you call, they say more than we can.
Tell us what you are planning. We will walk the property, price it honestly, and give you a schedule you can hold us to.
