Your kitchen is the most-used room in your home — and a well-executed kitchen renovation in Vancouver transforms how you cook, entertain, and live. Speera Custom Homes delivers complete kitchen renovations from concept through completion, with custom cabinetry, quality countertops, and full trade coordination under one team.

Speera Custom Homes has deep experience in Vancouver — from custom home builds in Shaughnessy and Point Grey to kitchen and bathroom renovations in Kitsilano and Mount Pleasant. We understand Vancouver's R1-1 zoning, development permit requirements, and the city's evolving approach to missing middle housing, including how the City of Vancouver's multiplex program differs from the provincial SSMUH minimums that apply elsewhere in the region.

Local Knowledge

Kitchen Renovation in Vancouver: What to Know

Vancouver's R1-1 zoning allows up to 6 strata units or 8 secured rental units on most residential lots — one of BC's most permissive urban infill regimes. The City of Vancouver's own multiplex program runs in parallel with BC's provincial SSMUH rules, and the two interact differently lot-by-lot, which is why a site-specific zoning review matters more in Vancouver than almost anywhere else in the region.

Vancouver's competitive land values mean well-executed new construction and renovation projects command significant premiums at resale. Because Vancouver land costs are the highest in Greater Vancouver, getting the maximum permitted density and a well-managed build process right the first time has an outsized impact on your return.

We work throughout Vancouver, including: Shaughnessy, Kerrisdale, Kitsilano, Point Grey, Dunbar, Cambie, Mount Pleasant, East Vancouver, Marpole. View all Vancouver services →

FAQ

Kitchen Renovation in Vancouver: Common Questions

Generally yes once plumbing or electrical is relocated or walls change. The City of Vancouver issues these under the Vancouver Building By-law, which is Vancouver's own code rather than the provincial one, so requirements can differ from what applies in Burnaby or Richmond. We confirm what your specific scope requires and handle the application.

Pre-war and early post-war Vancouver homes frequently reveal knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized supply piping, undersized electrical service, and framing that does not match modern dimensions. A kitchen renovation is often the point where those get addressed, because the walls are already open. We assess for these before finalizing scope so they are planned for rather than discovered mid-project.

Usually yes, though the wall in question is often load-bearing, which means an engineered beam and the associated structural permit. Interior reconfiguration is generally more achievable than exterior change: if your property falls under character retention provisions, alterations to the exterior form and street-facing elevation are scrutinized far more closely than what you do inside.

We front-load the permit application, since City of Vancouver processing time is usually the least predictable part of the schedule, and we order cabinetry and appliances well before demolition. Where older wiring or plumbing is likely to need upgrading, we plan for it in the original scope rather than treating it as a change order mid-build.
