permits & code

Renovating in Coquitlam: what's required

Coquitlam requires a building permit for structural renovation work — removing or replacing drywall, altering insulation or ventilation, moving a window or door opening, or converting space into a secondary suite — while purely cosmetic work such as re-roofing, re-cladding or replacing cabinets and flooring is exempt. The City issues its own plumbing permits, but electrical and gas work goes through Technical Safety BC rather than City Hall. A secondary suite is permitted in most single-family homes, limited to one per dwelling. We prepare the drawing package the City's checklist calls for and coordinate the Technical Safety BC permits alongside the building permit application.

  • “I dealt with many contractors for my house renovation, i was looking for a company that would not just give me a quote and do the work, I also needed expert guidance on what would look good, what materials would be better to use, which place is better to source materials from etc. I got all that while working with PCC, they have a wide network of suppliers and tradesmen, very experienced team that understands renovations. Anyone looking for renovation experts, should reach out to them without a doubt. Thanks Daniel & PCC Team!”

  • “Contacted Dan following an extensive search online. Chose PCC based on BBB reviews and recommendations. They were very quick in responding to my inquiries, the face to face interview was pleasant, courteous and gathered information regarding the job requirements and even quoted a price and tentative delivery timeline. The finished deliverable was as promised, despite the weather. My satisfaction quotient is high, I recommend PCC, they will certainly have my return business in the future.”

  • “We hired PCC for a full kitchen and bathroom renovation, and they were fantastic from start to finish. The team was organized, transparent, and easy to work with. Our kitchen now feels bright and functional with custom cabinets, Quartz counters, and modern fixtures. The bathroom looks amazing too — the walk-in shower and heated floors were worth every penny. PCC delivered on time, kept us updated, and the quality is outstanding. Highly recommend them to anyone in the Vancouver or Lower Mainland looking for a reliable renovation team.”

Do I need a permit for a renovation in Coquitlam?

Structural work, basement finishing, opening or replacing drywall, and plumbing generally need City of Coquitlam permits; electrical and gas permits come from Technical Safety BC, not the City. Permit review adds lead time, so we submit early and build it into your schedule.

Can you build a legal basement suite in Coquitlam?

Yes — suites are one of our most common Coquitlam projects. We design for the code requirements that make a suite legal (fire separation, egress, ceiling heights, ventilation), prepare the permit drawings, and deliver the finished suite under one itemised contract.

Do you renovate the older homes in Maillardville and Austin Heights?

We do, and we plan them properly: older Coquitlam homes often need electrical, plumbing and insulation upgrades once walls open, and our quotes scope that up front. You see the realistic cost before work starts, not as mid-project change orders.

How long will my Coquitlam renovation take?

Scope decides it, and permits add lead time before work can start. Once on site, a bathroom typically runs weeks and a full-home renovation months; we give you a schedule that accounts for permit review, trades and materials, then one project lead keeps the job against it.
