The Short Version

Elite Contracting Ltd. is a general contractor in Surrey, BC, running a 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.

Structural work, a new or legalized suite, and an extension each need a City of Surrey building permit, and Elite prepares those applications. Estimates cost nothing, and the form on this page starts one.

  • Do I need a permit for my renovation in Surrey, BC? If the work changes structure, adds or legalizes a suite, or extends the building, the City of Surrey requires a building permit.
  • What does a general contractor in Surrey actually handle? Everything between the estimate and the final walkthrough: scope, scheduling, materials, every trade on site, permit applications, inspections, and cleanup.
  • Do you take on both homes and commercial spaces in Surrey? We renovate houses, townhomes, and suites, and we also complete tenant improvements for offices, daycares, restaurants, and retail units.
  • How do estimates work for a Surrey project? We visit the property first. You then get a written estimate with a realistic schedule. One reviewer called the original quote very detailed with no surprises, which is exactly the point of doing it in person.

Local Knowledge

A Contractor That Knows Surrey Homes

Surrey grew in waves, and each wave left different houses behind. A general contractor working here every week learns what sits behind the drywall in each era of home, and that knowledge shows up in tighter estimates and fewer surprises mid-project.

Homes from the 1960s to the 1980s

Much of the older stock around Whalley, Newton, and Guildford dates to these decades. Aluminum branch wiring and poly-B plumbing are common finds, and insurers ask about both, so we plan those upgrades into the scope before finishes go on.

Basement suites

Surrey has one of the strongest secondary-suite markets in the region. Adding or legalizing a suite means a building permit, proper egress, and inspections, and we manage that whole path for you.

Strata and multi-family work

We build for stratas as well as homeowners. A recent project was a concrete strata fence, and our crews are used to the approvals and notice periods strata work involves.

Coastal weather

Fences, decks, and siding in Surrey take a beating from wet winters. Fence replacement is one of our most-reviewed services for a reason: the old posts rot out, and we rebuild them to last.

Permits with the City of Surrey

Surrey administers the BC Building Code, and structural changes, suites, and additions all need permits. We prepare the applications and deal with the inspectors so the paperwork never stalls the build.

Our shop in North Surrey

We work from 10220 120 St, on the Scott Road corridor a short drive from Scott Road SkyTrain Station. That puts our crews minutes from Whalley and Guildford, and within easy reach of Newton, Fleetwood, Cloverdale, and South Surrey, the six town centres that make up the city. Renovation permits here go through the City of Surrey, and we handle those applications as part of the job.

Why It Matters

One General Contractor vs Booking Trades Yourself

Plenty of Surrey homeowners start by phoning trades one at a time. Here is how the two paths compare on a real renovation.

With Elite as your GCManaging trades yourself
SchedulingWe sequence the electrician, plumber, drywaller, and finishers so nobody waits on anybody. When one of our clients needed a 1,200 square foot Burnaby townhome fully renovated, both bathrooms, the kitchen, flooring, and paint were done in two weeks.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.
AccountabilityOne 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.
PermitsWe prepare and manage the applications, book the inspections, and keep the file clean.The homeowner carries the permit file, the drawings, and the inspection bookings alone.

Hiring a General Contractor in Surrey, Answered

Do I need a permit for my renovation in Surrey, BC?

If the work changes structure, adds or legalizes a suite, or extends the building, the City of Surrey requires a building permit. Cosmetic work like paint and flooring usually does not. We confirm what your specific project needs and prepare the applications for you.

What does a general contractor in Surrey actually handle?

Everything between the estimate and the final walkthrough: scope, scheduling, materials, every trade on site, permit applications, inspections, and cleanup. You deal with one company and one point of contact instead of chasing five trades.

Do you take on both homes and commercial spaces in Surrey?

Yes. We renovate houses, townhomes, and suites, and we also complete tenant improvements for offices, daycares, restaurants, and retail units. A recent daycare build-out in Surrey covered framing, drywall, flooring, and finishing under one contract.

How do estimates work for a Surrey project?

We visit the property first. You then get a written estimate with a realistic schedule. One reviewer called the original quote very detailed with no surprises, which is exactly the point of doing it in person.
