Seeking trustworthy and quality workers to completely renovate a home in the Tri-city area from 1973, and create an open concept home. The team of workers must work with the home owners to help create their vision, and commit to completing the home as soon as possible. The home will be available for work starting April 2nd, 2019. The total square footage of the home is approximately 2,933 sqft, which includes 2 levels, 2 kitchens, 3 bathrooms, and a coach house (additional kitchen and 1 bathroom).

Detail of Job .
Convert an existing duplex to a front/back strata converted property. Currently there is a front/back mirrored 2 living dwellings , on one address. There is an old 2002 permit that is outstanding that needs to be completed. The building is in bad condition and needs to be brought up to code. I have had inspectors in here ,on my request and they have sent me paperwork of what is required. My zoning permits this, and I have an 8000 sq foot lot which permits adding floor space. Currently front half is 1050 Sq with an illegal deck, and the back half is 1200 Sq with a kitchen extension/nook that is permitted ,but poorly constructed.
The bsmt has been altered and in poor condition, as well as the structure of the kitchen nook.
As per city instructions ,and conversations ...I need to get architectural drawings of the entire structure ,and get a structural engineer to sign off on all existing , and new permits. The city is being quite co-operative and are allowing me to alter the 2002 permit to suit my needs. I have 2 options in mind :
a) renovate and finish bsmt , join with stairwell to front half and completely renovate front half....with landscaping and exterior house upgrades
b) structurally improve bsmt, take off the roof/ add a level (mirrored) with an outdoor deck on each side with additional living space. Compl renovate front half / landscaping/ exterior upgrades etc With this option I would need fisheries approval as I have aravine on site , however since I would be going vertical on existing structure I don't see a problem
I am leaning towards B) but need it to be economically viable in my neighbourhood.
SO in summary
1) need architectural drawings and a structural engineer and work with thru all permits with city hall for either job
2) goal is to create a "strata converted" front/back half duplexes ..this means fire wall/ sound barrier/ fire code's/ unit separation etc etc
3) structurally repair bsmt and kitchen nook, which was altered with 2002 unfinished permit
4) address all plumbing issues outlined in city requirements (I will send u this copy)
5) completely renovate front half duplex /new floor or not
6) replace 6 windows/ re paint of exterior /and exterior "cosmetic" facelift
7) renovate "back half" -(which is the nice half- bathroom)
MAYBE
8) continue a stairwell to top floor thru existing closets.
9) create a mirrored top floor consisting of a 150 SQ foot deck , and 350 Sq foot living space ,to be determined.
10) interior finishing and new roofing over new top floor
11) Landscaping, I am already in talks with a few people, or might attempt myself with friends ...job is still open however
My budget is unspecified, however option B) must be viable ...at the very least I will be doing option A) 100%

We are located in Coquitlam (Westwood Plateau) and would like to get a quote / estimate for a project that involves rebuilding an existing wall that contains a fireplace as well as modernizing an existing vanity bathroom. Re-wiring would be required to allow for the re-location of exiting electronic components as well as addition of new spot lighting. The project would require the fireplace (gas) to be upgraded and moved and would require the tear-down of existing rock. The fireplace has an exhaust / vent that is located on the side of the house. It may also require an adjustment based upon the move of the fireplace.The bathroom requires the removal of a wall mirror and existing toilet / cabinet etc. We are looking to have this work done ASAP.
Please do not hesitate to contact us directly should you require any additional information or clarification.

3200 square feet house built in 1968. stucco outside is new and it is in place. 1600 SQFTupstairs: 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. First level is another 1600 SQFT.
windows;patio doors; 2 fireplaces; railing; plumbing are ready; Wiring for upstairs and 1st level are into studs.
It was fire upstairs. roof has been fixed but doesn't have flooring; drywall for walls and it's 9 feet ceiling; kitchen & bathroom cabinets and counter tops is needed. 1 bathroom is intact (no need for renovation except putting 1 window.) Only master bedroom needs drywall; cabinets and shower glass, (It already had wall tiles for shower.)
On the First floor we have 1 bedroom and a den. We want to make it a legal suite. Existing dry wall needs to come off. Some electrical issue may arise. But all the outlets and vents can be used again., put proper insulation for fire and sound. 1 bedroom is in place with a good insulation, but it's closet needs to be changed or better moved to make bedroom bigger but the den smaller. So one wall of this bedroom needs to be done again. Tiles for bathroom and laundry room is in place, shower needs to be changed to tub. existing 2 year old kitchen cabinet needs to come out and should make a proper ventilation for stove (cabinets could be reused), addition of an island to kitchen cabinet is necessary. Counter tops for kitchen and bath is necessary. ventilation is in place.
Main Project-Add sound proof (well insulated) interior wall to living room area. Entrance door, bedroom closet and hallway linen closet to be features. 2 light switches and 2 plugs to be added.
Additional
-Add two 6'X3' windows on exterior wall of house.
-Refinish/modernize interior textured drywall and popcorn ceiling of living room.
Require legitimate references and proof of insurance. Prefer a company with full time employees doing the work, and not just a general contractor sub-contracting the trades except for electrical/plumbing/drywall.
Thanks
Own an 1100 square foot bi-level, completely finished on both levels. Constructed in 1960 very well maintained with new windows, roof, etc.
We may sell home in two or three years and move to a condo, however, wish to make the following improvements now, both to enjoy renos ourselves and make the home more sale-able. Therefore, we are interested in working with a contactor/renovator who can advise on what renos and quality makes most financial sense if our intent is to market the home in a couple of years.:
- new (mid-quality) reconfigured kitchen;
- raise showerhead and re-tile (or install new tub-surround) around tub in main floor bath;
- replace wood railing w/ glass panels on covered deck(approximately twelve foot length);
- replace lower-level door/frame on back of house with new doors(incl. storm)to let in light;
- possibly replace shower cabinet in lower-level bathroom with walk-in shower;
- close in end wall of open room on lower level to create another bedroom.
-possibly build an open deck (approx. 14 X 14) with two sets of stairs, along back of house to provide easier access to back yard from main floor of house.
