West Vancouver homes ask for a different level of care. Larger properties, hillside lots, complex layouts, and finishes that have to stand up to being looked at every day.
At VictorEric we design and build under one roof. You are not hiring a designer and then going out to find a general contractor, and you are not the person caught in the middle when the drawings and the build disagree. One team carries your project from the first sketch to the last coat.
We have been doing this in Vancouver since 1997, across whole-home renovations, bathrooms and kitchens, and the layout changes that make an older house work again.
Reimagine your entire home with a cohesive design, improved layout, and elevated finishes.
Modernize and reconfigure Vancouver Specials with improved layouts, better flow, and updated interiors all tailored to how you live today.
Primary ensuites and family bathrooms, designed for the way a West Vancouver home is actually used and built to last past the trend that inspired them.
Most West Vancouver renovations start with the same question. Do you hire a designer first and then find a general contractor, or do you find one firm that does both?
Hiring separately means two contracts, two schedules and two sets of assumptions, and when the drawings turn out to cost more than the budget allowed, the gap between them is yours to close. Design and build together means the people pricing the work are the people who drew it, so the budget is tested while the design can still change.
We carry the construction management a general contractor would handle, alongside the design. If you want the full comparison, we wrote one: design-build versus a general contractor.
We do not start with floor plans. We start with people.
Every home renovation in West Vancouver begins by understanding how you live today, what works, what does not, and how your needs may evolve. From there, we design spaces that feel intuitive, comfortable, and aligned with your lifestyle.
A well-executed renovation starts long before construction begins.
Our process is designed to bring clarity at every stage — from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.
Whole home renovations usually mean rethinking the space from the ground up, from interior gut and rebuild to open-concept living, new stairs, and layouts that finally suit the view the house was built for.
Bathroom renovations are the most common single project we are asked for in West Vancouver. A primary ensuite normally involves moving plumbing, reworking ventilation, and upgrading waterproofing that was built to an older standard. Those are the parts that decide whether the room lasts, and they are the parts that are invisible once it is finished.
Kitchens, additions, and structural changes to open up a main floor are handled by the same team, so one trade is never waiting on another firm’s drawing.
A look at some of our recent renovation projects across Vancouver, each one thoughtfully designed and carefully built to reflect how our clients live, and what their homes needed to become.
Everything You Should Know Before Renovating Your Entire Home
Cost depends on the size of the home, how much of the layout changes, and the level of finish. In West Vancouver the two things that most often move a budget are structural changes on a hillside lot and the condition of what is behind the walls in an older house. We price the full scope before construction starts, so the figure you approve is the figure you build to.
Design and approvals usually take longer than homeowners expect, and construction is the shorter half. A single bathroom moves quickly. A whole-home renovation with structural work takes considerably longer. You get a schedule at the design stage and an update each time an approval lands.
Yes. We prepare and submit the drawings, deal with the District of West Vancouver on your behalf, and manage the outside experts a larger project needs. On a hillside property that usually includes work on drainage and slope that is easier to resolve before design is finished than after.
Both. A primary ensuite or a family bathroom on its own is a project we take, and it is often how a longer relationship starts. The design and the construction are handled the same way they would be on a whole-home renovation, just at a smaller scale.
Across the District, including Ambleside, Dundarave, the British Properties, Caulfeild, Horseshoe Bay and Glenmore. Hillside lots and waterfront properties each bring their own constraints, and we would rather raise those at the first meeting than halfway through a design.
Every West Vancouver neighbourhood has its own character and its own expectations, from the waterfront streets of Dundarave to the hillside properties above Caulfeild. We design each renovation to suit the house, the site and the level of detail the home deserves.
