Our Recent Projects
See What Our Clients Have to Say About Working With Mavish
We recently worked with Mark and Mavish Homes on a full-scale renovation of our condo. This was a massive project, and Mark made us feel informed and comfortable throughout. He brought in an excellent team of vendors, and brought our vision to life in ways we couldn’t have even imagined.
Of particular note, we wanted to make some changes that made our place more accessible for me as a wheelchair user, and Mark was incredibly considerate in this, and checked in with me continuously to make sure the changes would work for me.
I feel more comfortable in my home than I ever have!
Over the years I have had a number of renovations done on my home/homes and have worked with countless contractors in my professional career, never have I been my comfortable with a contractor and satisfied with their work than I have been with Mark and Mavish Homes. Mavish Homes was recommended to me by a friend and from my first meeting with Mark I knew I was in good hands. His professionalism, attention to detail, recommendations and everything to do with our renovation was over the top.
I have referred, and will continue to refer, Mavish Homes to friends and co-workers with absolutely no reservations and will continue to do so.
We recently had Mavish Homes renovate our kitchen, floors, ensuite, and powder room, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From the start, they were incredibly communicative and transparent, keeping us informed every step of the way. Their honesty and straightforward approach made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
What impressed us the most was how they stuck to the project budget and schedule. There were no unexpected changes or delays, which is rare in construction projects. The workmanship was top-notch, and the team’s attention to detail truly stood out.
We are thrilled with the outcome and wouldn’t hesitate to hire Mavish Homes again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!
Local Know‑How For West Vancouver Homes And major Renovations
West Vancouver properties come with a unique set of considerations. Hillside lots, view corridors, geotechnical conditions, and strict zoning requirements all play a role in how a home is designed and built. Many properties are also subject to design guidelines, tree bylaws, and site-specific constraints that require careful planning from the outset.
For existing homes, renovations often involve structural upgrades, complex access logistics, and coordination around older construction methods. In some cases, factors such as asbestos, outdated wiring, and drainage conditions must be addressed early to ensure a smooth build process.
We manage the entire process on your behalf—from preparing drawings and coordinating consultants to navigating permits and inspections. On new builds, we also integrate energy performance and airtightness strategies to meet modern building standards while maintaining the integrity of the design.
Having worked across the region, we understand the pace of approvals, common review comments, and how small details can influence outcomes—especially in a municipality like West Vancouver where expectations are elevated.
At Mavish Homes, our approach is simple: respect the property, respect the process, and deliver a well-executed home from initial concept through to occupancy.
Should You Renovate Or Build New In West Vancouver?
Start with your goals, site, and budget. Renovations keep your address, leverage existing structure, and often move faster than a new build. They’re ideal when the bones are sound and you want targeted upgrades or a full interior re‑plan. New builds deliver total control over layout, envelope, and performance, but require more approvals and carrying costs. In West Vancouver, many renovations still need permits for structural work and for plumbing, gas, or electrical changes, while new homes must meet higher energy performance targets under provincial Step Code frameworks.
Either path benefits from early planning, realistic allowances, and upfront decisions that hold the budget. We will model both options, outline timelines, and give you a fixed price before construction so you can choose with confidence. The District of West Vancouver outlines when permits apply and what to submit; we handle paperwork and inspections.
Frequently Asked Questions
You want clarity before you commit. Here are straightforward answers to help you choose the right path. If we move forward, we confirm scope, schedule, and a fixed price in writing so you know exactly what you are getting and when.
Do I need a permit to renovate in West Vancouver?
Often, yes. Structural changes and most plumbing, gas, or electrical work require permits and inspections. We prepare and submit the package, then coordinate City reviews. Since Mavish Homes only takes on larger projects these will require permits.
