Commercial Construction in White Rock, BC
A commercial build is won or lost on the permit sequence, long before anyone breaks ground. Our office is in White Rock, which means a site visit here costs you a phone call rather than a scheduled trip. The commercial stock on and around Marine Drive and Five Corners is small-footprint and largely older, so the constraint is rarely the design — it is what the building will actually support once a wall comes down.

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.
Local planning
How it runs in White Rock.
White Rock permits independently of Surrey despite being surrounded by it — a Surrey approval carries no weight here. The Building Division reviews against the City's Zoning Bylaw and Official Community Plan as well as the provincial construction regulations, so a use that is permitted in a neighbouring municipality still has to clear White Rock's own zoning.
White Rock's commercial space is concentrated in the uptown blocks around Johnston Road and Five Corners, with the Marine Drive strip running retail and hospitality. It is a compact market with an older population, which is why dental, denture, physiotherapy and optometry practices take up so much of the professional tenancy. Units are small and often sit above or behind retail, so servicing and access are the first questions, not the last. The city is geographically enclaved within Surrey but permits separately, under its own Building Division.

What decides this build
A ground-up commercial build is a servicing problem before it is a building problem. Power, water and storm capacity to the lot decide the schedule long before anyone prices drywall.
We confirm the service capacity at the property line before pricing the build. An upgrade to the transformer or the water service runs on the utility's timeline rather than the site's. No amount of crew recovers those weeks once they are lost.
Project review
We walk the space and price the risk before you commit to commercial construction. Permits and services are the two that bite.
Servicing confirmed
Capacity at the property line is verified before the price is fixed. A utility upgrade is a timeline nobody on site can compress.
Approvals in parallel
Development permit, building permit and servicing agreements run alongside each other wherever the municipality allows it.

Questions
Frequently asked.
Does Oberizon handle commercial construction in White Rock?
Yes — we have delivered 2 projects in White Rock, including The Shine Dental. We run commercial construction across the Lower Mainland from a White Rock head office.
Who issues the building permit for commercial construction in White Rock?
The building permit is issued by City of White Rock Building Division, reviewed against the BC Building Code and the city's own zoning. White Rock issues a distinct Commercial Tenant Improvement permit, separate from the residential stream. We confirm the current review window with the city at application rather than quoting one from a previous job.
How much does commercial construction cost in White Rock?
$120–$220 per sq ft turnkey — typically $300k–$550k for a 2,500 sq ft space. Base-building condition and finish level move that number most. The full 2026 breakdown is in the cost guide at /cost.
What areas near White Rock does Oberizon serve for commercial construction?
Most conversations start around Uptown White Rock, Five Corners, and Marine Drive. We travel further when the scope justifies it.
What should I prepare before starting commercial construction in White Rock?
The address, your lease stage and a target opening date. Drawings and a budget range help. The more we know early, the tighter the feasibility comes back.
What decides the schedule on a ground-up commercial build?
Servicing capacity at the property line. Power, water and storm have to carry the finished building, and a utility upgrade runs on the utility's timeline rather than the site's — which is why we confirm it before pricing rather than during construction.
What is checked before a fixed price is given?
Electrical capacity, make-up air and the condition of anything being kept. A fixed price given without verifying those is a fixed price with a change order already in it.
Can Oberizon review my White Rock space before I commit?
Yes. A review finds the permit and service risks before you sign a lease or a design. That is the cheapest point to find them — a change after drawings are sealed costs weeks, not hours.
Planning commercial construction in White Rock?
Before you commit to a space, drawings, a budget, or a construction timeline, book a consultation and we will tell you what has to be planned before construction starts.
