Local Knowledge

Bathroom Renovation in Burnaby: What to Know

Under BC's Bill 44 (SSMUH), most Burnaby single-family lots now allow 4–6 units as of right. The City of Burnaby has updated its zoning bylaw to align with the provincial minimums and continues to permit secondary suites and coach houses on most residential lots, alongside its own multiplex and duplex design guidelines.

Burnaby's diverse neighbourhoods — from Capitol Hill to Metrotown — offer strong opportunities for custom home construction, multiplex and duplex infill development, and whole-home renovation. Burnaby's central location, SkyTrain access, and strong rental demand make multi-unit construction especially attractive on qualifying lots.

We work throughout Burnaby, including: Capitol Hill, Brentwood, Metrotown, Deer Lake, Burnaby Heights, Edmonds, Highgate, Sullivan Heights. View all Burnaby services →

FAQ

Bathroom Renovation in Burnaby: Common Questions

A permit is generally required when plumbing is relocated, electrical circuits are added or altered, or structural changes are made, which covers most bathroom renovations beyond a straight fixture swap. We handle the City of Burnaby application and coordinate the required inspections through the project.

Post-war Burnaby bathrooms commonly reveal cast iron drains, undersized venting, original wiring without modern circuit protection, and tile installed without any waterproofing membrane behind it. These are all routine to address, but they are far better scoped upfront than found after demolition has started.

In most cases yes. The determining factors are how the new drain reaches the existing sanitary connection, how the fixture is vented, and whether the floor structure supports the change. On sloped Burnaby lots with a lower level, adding a bathroom down there is often more straightforward than it would be on a flat lot with a shallow crawlspace.

It depends on the scope, fixture and tile lead times, whether plumbing is being relocated, and City of Burnaby permit processing times. Keeping the existing fixture locations moves the project along considerably faster than relocating them. We give you a project-specific schedule at your free consultation.
