Typical housing stock

Vancouver's lower-density neighbourhoods have a wide variety of single detached houses of different styles, sizes and ages; since 2004 a house can have a secondary rental suite, and since 2009 a laneway house can also be built on the lot. The City's R1-1 zone, in effect since October 17, 2023, also allows duplexes, character-house retention projects (with incentives introduced in 2018) and multiplexes of 3 to 6 strata units.

Climate & building notes

The City of Vancouver's rainwater-management pages note that as the city expanded, clearing trees and building sewer pipes, roads, sidewalks and parking lots reduced the ground's ability to absorb rainwater, so more of it now flows along the surface, from rooftops and streets into the sewers. The City says these problems will get worse as the climate warms and the city grows, and that it needs to find ways to handle more rainwater. Its guidance for private property includes green rainwater infrastructure such as green roofs, which capture and clean rainwater where it lands.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which PCC division should I contact for a project in Vancouver?

Pacific Coast Contracting is one company with three divisions, and all three work in Vancouver: PCC Renovations (pccrenovations.ca) for renovations, PCC Decking (pccdecking.ca) for decks and PCC Roofing (pccroofing.ca) for roofing. If your project involves more than one trade, such as a renovation together with a new deck or roof work, you can start with a single call to PCC's office at +1 (604) 554-0962.

Do I need a permit for renovation, deck or roofing work in Vancouver?

Building permits in Vancouver are issued by the City of Vancouver under its own Vancouver Building By-law. The City generally requires a permit for structural repairs, for renovations that create new area and for building or altering a deck, while installing roofing, gutters or drain-pipes is on its list of projects that don't need one. When in doubt, the City's Development and Building Services Centre can confirm whether your project needs a permit.

How far is Vancouver from PCC's Port Coquitlam office?

PCC's office is at 853 Seaborne Ave #2160 in Port Coquitlam, about 32 km by road from Vancouver City Hall, a drive via the Mary Hill Bypass and Highway 1. Neighbourhoods on the city's west side, such as Kitsilano and Kerrisdale, are farther from the office. The office is open Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 16:00.

Does PCC work with strata councils and property managers in Vancouver?

Strata councils and property managers can contact PCC at +1 (604) 554-0962 about renovation, decking or roofing work on a Vancouver multi-unit or commercial building. The City of Vancouver lists renovating or tenant improvements for a commercial space, and drywall repairs to fire separations in multi-unit residential buildings, among the work that generally needs a permit. Gas installations above the City's meter load and pressure limits are permitted by Technical Safety BC instead.

Is emergency roofing available in Vancouver?

Yes. PCC Roofing's 24/7 emergency roofing response — 604-554-0963 — covers Vancouver, for problems such as storm damage or an active leak; contact PCC Roofing directly (pccroofing.ca) for an urgent roof issue. For non-urgent questions about renovation, decking or roofing work, PCC's office in Port Coquitlam is open Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 16:00. If a repair turns structural, the City of Vancouver lists structural repairs among the work that generally needs a permit.

Is PCC insured and registered for work in Vancouver?

Pacific Coast Contracting carries $5M in liability insurance and is registered with WorkSafeBC. The company is BBB A+ rated and has been in business for more than 15 years, and the same standards apply to PCC Renovations, PCC Decking and PCC Roofing work in Vancouver. For questions about your project, call PCC's office at +1 (604) 554-0962, Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 16:00.

Does PCC offer financing for projects in Vancouver?

Yes. PCC offers financing through Financeit, and it applies to renovation, decking and roofing projects in Vancouver just as it does in the other cities PCC serves. If you would like to spread the cost of a project, ask about Financeit financing when you contact PCC at +1 (604) 554-0962, Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 16:00.

Which other nearby cities does PCC serve besides Vancouver?

Besides Vancouver, PCC serves the nearby cities of Burnaby, North Vancouver, Richmond and New Westminster. They are part of the 17 cities PCC covers across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, from Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam out to Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford and Chilliwack.
