What Is a Whole Home Renovation?

A whole home renovation (sometimes called a full home renovation) involves renovating most or all areas of a house as a single, coordinated project. Rather than updating spaces in isolation, the entire home is redesigned to work together visually, functionally, and structurally.

A full home renovation often includes:

  • Reworking layouts and removing walls
  • Renovating kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas together
  • Upgrading electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and insulation
  • Improving natural light and circulation
  • Redesigning staircases, entries, and transitions
  • Zoning and building code compliance
  • Creating a unified design language across the entire home

Designed Around How You Actually Live

We don’t start with floor plans. We start with people. Every whole home renovation begins by understanding. How you use your home today? What feels frustrating or inefficient? How your needs may change in the future? From there, we design spaces that feel intuitive, comfortable, and tailored to your daily life not just visually impressive.

Clarity on Budget, Scope, and Timeline

Before construction begins, we finalize:
  • The full renovation scope
  • Structural decisions
  • All design selections and finishes
This allows us to move forward with clear pricing, defined expectations, and a predictable construction schedule, so you always know where your project stands.

FAQs

Everything You Should Know Before Renovating Your Entire Home

What qualifies as a whole home renovation vs a partial renovation?
A whole home renovation involves renovating most or all areas of a house as one coordinated project. Unlike partial renovations that focus on a single room, a full home renovation addresses layout, systems, finishes, and flow together to ensure the entire home works cohesively.
In most cases, yes. Whole home renovations often involve structural work, utility shutdowns, and multiple trades working simultaneously. Temporarily moving out usually leads to a faster timeline, better workmanship, and fewer disruptions, though each project is assessed individually.
Most whole home renovations in Vancouver take 6 to 12 months, depending on scope, permitting, structural changes, and material selections. Thorough planning and early decision-making help keep timelines predictable.
A full home renovation makes sense when multiple areas need updating, layouts no longer work, or major system upgrades are required. Renovating everything at once often reduces overall cost, avoids rework, and delivers a more cohesive final result.
Scope creep is prevented by finalizing layouts, design selections, and specifications before construction begins. Clear documentation, disciplined sequencing, and controlled change management are essential to keeping a whole home renovation on budget.

Before construction, homeowners should finalize:

  • Floor plans and structural changes
  • Kitchen and bathroom layouts
  • Finish materials and fixtures
  • Lighting and electrical plans
  • Budget priorities

Early decisions reduce delays and costly changes later.

Here’s a simplified breakdown of the SSMUH Burnaby approval process:

  1. Confirm zoning eligibility (R1 SSMUH)

  2. Design your project to comply with the City of Burnaby zoning

  3. Submit a building permit

  4. Receive permits and begin construction
    VictorEric can handle the full design and build process, ensuring your multiplex Burnaby project meets every code and timeline.

Whole home renovations usually require building permits and multiple inspections. A design + build team coordinates drawings, submissions, inspections, and compliance with municipal regulations to ensure the project progresses smoothly.
With a design + build firm, design and construction are managed under one team. This reduces miscommunication, improves accountability, aligns budget with design decisions, and results in a more efficient and predictable renovation process.

"The design of this is unlike any other typical duplexes you’ll see in Vancouver... If you knock on the door casings or stomp on the floor, you know this is a solid house that will last 100 years. We’re proud of the build quality — and the experience was truly human, not just transactional."
