permits & code

Renovating in White Rock: what's required

White Rock requires a Single-Family Dwelling / Houseplex Renovation Permit for renovations to a single-family home, including adding a secondary suite, and an appointment with a Building Official is required before an application can be submitted. If the value of the work exceeds 50% of the home's current assessed value, the whole structure must be brought up to current Building Code and City bylaw compliance, not just the renovated portion. Plumbing work must be done by a licensed BC tradesperson with a City business licence, while natural gas and electrical work is handled entirely by Technical Safety BC. A secondary suite is limited to one per dwelling and must be inspected and registered through the City's own process. We scope every renovation against the 50% threshold before pricing it.

Do I need a permit to renovate in White Rock?

Structural and plumbing work generally needs a City of White Rock building permit, reviewed against the current BC Building Code and the City's bylaws — electrical and gas are handled entirely by Technical Safety BC, not the City. We confirm your project's permit scope at the consultation and run the application as part of the job.

Can you renovate an older beach cottage?

Yes — carefully. Older White Rock cottages usually need service upgrades and structural honesty before finishes, and their exposure to sun and salt air makes material selection part of the engineering. Our itemised quote scopes all of it before work begins.

Do you handle strata renovations in White Rock?

We do. For condos around Uptown and the waterfront we prepare the documentation strata councils require, carry $5M liability and WorkSafeBC coverage, and schedule work within the building's rules.

Will a renovation respect my view lines?

It has to — views are much of a White Rock home's value. We design window openings, additions and rooflines with the view and the City's requirements in mind from the first sketch, not as an afterthought.
