At Schédio, we strive for transparency and open communication with our clients. While we cannot start work on your home immediately, we discuss estimated timelines during our initial consultation. Factors such as strata approval (if applicable), permit issuance by the city, and the order of projects in our queue impact the start date. Please email us at hello@schediospaces.com if you need clarification on the estimated start date.

Please note that we operate on a first come, first served basis, and project timelines can vary. We make every effort to adhere to the schedule, but it's important to understand that timelines may change due to project dynamics. Rest assured, we will keep you informed and well-prepared for any adjustments that may arise.

Once you have approved the design and finishes for your project, we will provide you with an estimated budget breakdown. This breakdown outlines the costs associated with different aspects and phases of the project, giving you a clear understanding of the expenses involved. It helps you make informed decisions about the scope of your project based on your budget.

Please note that the estimated budget breakdown is not a final quote but a preliminary estimate. The construction industry has experienced fluctuations in pricing and availability in recent years. While we strives to provide accurate estimates based on current market values, these values are subject to change over time. Rest assured, we will keep you informed of any significant changes to the estimated budget.

The timeline for starting your project depends on several factors. Once you review, sign, and provide the deposit for the contract, we can proceed to the next phase.

The largest factor that influences start times is permitting. Creating the permit package typically takes 1-6 months, taking into account the scope of work (houses for example take much longer than condos), response time from the strata (if applicable), and any required consultations with other specialists, such as structural engineers or energy experts.

After we submit the permit package, the timeline is in the hands of the City. Permit approval timing can vary significantly depending on their workload and the project's scope. Timelines also vary between different municipalities. Currently for the City of Vancouver, Condo permits are taking approximate 1 - 2 months to obtain and home permits vary widely but can be well over 4 months before getting approval.

During the permit review period, we proactively order materials to ensure they are on hand when the permit is approved and issued.

If there is a specific time that works particularly well for your project to start, such as during your vacation or a specific timeframe, please let us know. We will do our best to accommodate your preferences and ensure a smooth transition into the project.  It's worth noting that the permit allows up to one year from the permit issuance to begin the work, so if you need a slight delay for better timing, we can accommodate that with advanced notice.
