Five things to confirm with any firm, on this list or not, before you sign. The rules below are British Columbia's and Burnaby's.
Ask the firm for a clearance letter from WorkSafeBC, which confirms it is registered for workers' compensation and its account is in good standing. The letter is free online and shows whether the firm is registered and paying its premiums; WorkSafeBC warns that a homeowner who hires an unregistered firm can be held liable for premiums owed on the work.
Ask for a certificate of insurance that names the firm and shows commercial general liability coverage in force for the dates of your job, and check that the subcontractors it brings in are covered too.
Building permits for homes in Burnaby come from the City of Burnaby, and structural work, additions, new plumbing and electrical work and basement finishing usually need one. Agree in writing who applies for the permit and books the inspections.
Get the scope of work, the payment schedule tied to stages of the work, start and finish dates, how changes are agreed and priced, and who handles permits and cleanup, all in one signed contract before any work starts.
For a new house: a new house in British Columbia must be built by a residential builder licensed by BC Housing and enrolled in third-party 2-5-10 home warranty insurance: two years on defects in materials and labour, five years on the building envelope and ten years on the structure. For renovation work, get the firm's own workmanship warranty in writing.
The 10 firms on this list fall into 2 groups, read from what each firm's own site says it does and how it is listed on Google.
Renovation companies renovate existing homes, one room at a time or all of it at once.
General contractors run building projects of many kinds and bring in the trades each job needs.
A general contractor runs the job from start to finish: pricing it, booking and supervising the trades, ordering materials, arranging inspections and keeping the schedule. You deal with one firm instead of hiring the framer, plumber, electrician and drywaller yourself.
Usually, for anything structural, for new plumbing or electrical work, and for most basement finishing, additions and decks. Your municipality sets the rules and issues the permit. Many general contractors apply for it as part of the job, so agree who is responsible before you sign.
A written scope of work, the price and how changes will be priced, a payment schedule tied to stages of the work, start and finish dates, who pulls the permits, and the warranty on workmanship. Pay as stages are completed rather than most of the price up front.
Managing the trades yourself means booking, ordering and supervising each one, arranging the inspections and absorbing the delay when one trade holds up the next. A general contractor does that work and answers for the result. Running it yourself suits small jobs that need one or two trades.
Ask the firm for a clearance letter from WorkSafeBC. The letter is free online and shows whether the firm is registered and paying its premiums; WorkSafeBC warns that a homeowner who hires an unregistered firm can be held liable for premiums owed on the work.
Building permits for homes in Burnaby come from the City of Burnaby. For general contracting, structural work, additions, new plumbing and electrical work and basement finishing usually need one. Many firms apply for the permit as part of the job, so agree who does it before you sign.
