Renovation & Design-Build in Vancouver
Ferguson Brothers Contracting Ltd. is an owner-run design-build renovation contractor serving Vancouver. We handle renovations, additions, framing, decks, and finish carpentry — including the city's older character homes — with one crew, one plan, and one point of accountability.
What Vancouver Homeowners Hire Us For
Vancouver work runs from updating older character homes to full renovations and additions. We take on renovations, structural framing, decks and stairs, hardscape, concrete, window and door rough-ins, and finish carpentry for homeowners across the city.
The full list is on our services page — renovations, framing, decks and stairs, excavation and site work, hardscape, concrete, and finish carpentry.
Building in Vancouver
Permits in Vancouver are issued by the City of Vancouver, which runs its own building bylaw and a permit process that is more involved than most of its neighbours — particularly around character and heritage homes, secondary suites, and laneway houses. We handle that process as part of the job where a permit is needed.
The city's older housing stock is its own challenge: knob-and-tube wiring, unreinforced foundations, and framing that doesn't match the drawings are common once the walls come open. We plan for the likely surprises rather than pretending they won't appear.
How We Work
Whether our own crew is on the tools or we're coordinating trusted trades — often a mix — it stays one plan, one schedule, and one point of accountability: us. See our process and how we price.
Common Questions
Do you pull permits in Vancouver?
Yes. Permits are issued by the City of Vancouver under its own building bylaw, and we manage that process as part of the job where one is required.
Do you work on older or character homes?
Yes — a lot of Vancouver work is exactly that. Older homes hide surprises behind the finishes, and our hands-on background means we see them coming.
Do you do laneway houses or secondary suites?
We take on renovations, additions, and related work; where a project involves a suite or laneway, we coordinate the design, permits, and trades it requires.
How do you handle surprises once the walls are open?
We document the condition, price the change, and get your sign-off before proceeding — every cost visible in your client portal as it lands.
What other areas do you serve?
Alongside Vancouver, we work across the North Shore and Lower Mainland: North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Vancouver, Burnaby, Port Moody, Coquitlam, Squamish, Bowen Island, and Gambier Island.
