What types of projects does Westrade Projects work on?

We work across residential, commercial, and strata projects. This includes home renovations, secondary suites, tenant improvements, office and retail renovations, building retrofits, and ongoing repair or maintenance work. Whether the project is large or small, our approach remains structured, professional, and detail-focused.

Do you help with design and planning, or only construction?

Yes. We support projects from early planning through construction. This can include design coordination, space planning, feasibility reviews, permitting support, and project management. Clients can engage us for full-service delivery or for specific phases depending on their needs.

Do I need permits for my renovation or improvement project?

Many projects require permits, especially when structural changes, plumbing, electrical, or life-safety elements are involved. We help determine what permits are required and can manage the permit process to ensure compliance with local regulations.

How early should I contact you before starting a project?

Ideally, reach out as early as possible, especially for renovations or tenant improvements that require planning or permits. Early involvement allows us to assess feasibility, establish realistic timelines, and avoid delays later in the process.

Do you work in occupied homes or buildings?

Yes. We regularly work in occupied homes, offices, retail spaces, and multi-unit buildings. Our team plans work carefully to minimize disruption, maintain clean sites, and communicate clearly with occupants, tenants, and property managers.

How do you provide pricing and estimates?

We begin with a walkthrough or project review to understand scope and conditions. From there, we provide clear estimates based on the work required. For larger projects, pricing is developed through detailed planning to ensure accuracy and transparency.

Can you coordinate with property managers, strata councils, or landlords?

Absolutely. We frequently work with property managers, strata councils, landlords, and commercial stakeholders. We understand approval processes, reporting requirements, and the importance of communication in shared or managed properties.

What makes Westrade Projects different from other contractors?

Our focus is on planning, communication, and execution. We take time to understand the project before work begins, coordinate details carefully, and follow through consistently. Clients value our organized process, professional teams, and long-term mindset.

Do you offer minor repairs and small jobs, or only large projects?

Yes. We handle minor repairs, maintenance tasks, and small upgrades alongside larger renovation projects. Many of our long-term clients start with smaller work and continue with us as their needs grow.
