permits & code

Renovating in Chilliwack: what's required

Chilliwack requires a Building Permit under its Building Regulation Bylaw whenever renovation work makes structural changes or repairs, or improves an unfinished area of the home, while non-structural repair and maintenance of lawfully conforming structures on a single-family-zoned lot is exempt. Adding a secondary suite is allowed in any single detached dwelling regardless of zone, but still needs a building permit and BC Building and Fire Code compliance, and a new suite is not permitted below the flood construction level. Electrical and gas permits run through Technical Safety BC rather than City Hall, since Chilliwack is not one of the 10 BC municipalities delegated that authority. Plumbing drawings are part of the permit drawing set, and rough plumbing is one of the City's required inspection stages, alongside framing. Applications are filed online through the City's MyCity portal, and the City's application requirements call for two complete sets of construction drawings.

Do I need a permit for a renovation in Chilliwack?

Structural and plumbing work is generally regulated under the City of Chilliwack's Building Regulation Bylaw and needs a permit, with inspections booked through the City's online eInspections system — electrical and gas are permitted by Technical Safety BC, not the City. We confirm your project's scope at the consultation and manage the permit and inspections for you.

Does Chilliwack's climate change how you renovate?

It changes the specification. Hot summers and hard winter freezes widen the swing a building lives through, so insulation, ventilation and material choices are made for the valley's range — comfort in July and January from the same renovation.

Do you renovate rural and farm properties around Chilliwack?

Yes — Yarrow, Rosedale, Cultus Lake and the farm roads are part of our regular coverage. Rural scopes often span more than the house, and our itemised quotes keep multi-building projects accountable stage by stage.

Can you develop a basement in Sardis or Promontory?

Yes — basement developments and suites are among our most requested Chilliwack projects. We design to the code requirements, prepare the permit drawings, and deliver the finished space under one contract with one project lead.
