Commercial Contractors in Vancouver, BC
Vancouver is the only municipality in the region that does not build to the BC Building Code. It permits under its own Vancouver Building By-law, runs a separate tenant improvement stream for office space, and applies access rules that decide more of a downtown schedule than the trades do.

Permits
Building in Vancouver.
Vancouver's Tenant Improvement Program removes the development permit and expedites the field review for office tenants in eligible buildings. Any commercial office building permitted after 31 January 2007 is on that list automatically. It is an office programme, so a clinic fit-out does not qualify and runs the standard route.
The practical effect is that eligibility is worth checking before the lease. An office tenant in a post-2007 building skips a development permit entirely, and a tenant one building over does not.
- Permit authority
- City of Vancouver — Development and Building Services Centre

Reviews
What clinic owners say.
Very impressed with Oberizon Construction and the way they handled our dental clinic build. The team managed everything from planning to execution, and the final result was exactly what we envisioned.
We hired Oberizon to build out our dental clinic and they did an amazing job. The place looks so clean and modern, exactly the look we were going for.
Working with Oberizon on our dental clinic was a great experience from start to finish. Jas Oberoi and his team were professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in getting the details right.

What Vancouver is like to build in.
Vancouver's professional and clinical tenancy is spread thin across the city — Cambie and Mount Pleasant carry a lot of the medical and dental space, Kitsilano and the West Side run smaller practices, and downtown is mostly office and retail. Buildings are older and denser than anywhere else in the region, and a large share of commercial space is strata-owned, which adds an approval layer before the city is even involved. Access is the recurring cost: limited loading, restricted work hours in mixed residential buildings, and material handling that has to be scheduled rather than assumed.

The same band applies in every city we work in. What changes is why a job sits high or low inside it.
Why Vancouver sits where it does
Vancouver sits at the top of the band and the reason is access rather than trades. Elevator bookings, loading windows and restricted work hours in mixed residential buildings add days that never appear on a drawing.

Questions
Frequently asked.
Who issues the building permit in Vancouver?
City of Vancouver — Development and Building Services Centre issues it, reviewed against the Vancouver Building By-law and the city's own zoning. Vancouver permits under its own Vancouver Building By-law rather than the BC Building Code and runs a Tenant Improvement Program for office tenants in eligible buildings.
How long does a commercial permit take in Vancouver?
Vancouver does not publish a commercial review window, so we confirm the current one with the city at application rather than quoting a figure from a previous job. Budget 6 to 16 weeks for permits and 10 to 16 weeks on site for a 2,500 sq ft fit-out.
What does commercial construction cost in Vancouver?
Commercial construction runs $120–$220 per sq ft in 2026, and that band is the same across every city we work in. Vancouver sits at the top of the band and the reason is access rather than trades. Elevator bookings, loading windows and restricted work hours in mixed residential buildings add days that never appear on a drawing.
What makes building in Vancouver different?
Vancouver's Tenant Improvement Program removes the development permit and expedites the field review for office tenants in eligible buildings. Any commercial office building permitted after 31 January 2007 is on that list automatically. It is an office programme, so a clinic fit-out does not qualify and runs the standard route.
Does Oberizon work in Vancouver?
Yes. West Cordova residential build — addresses and photographs are on this page. Every job is run from the White Rock office rather than handed to a local sub.
