Ask the Team

Renovation costs range from $150–$250/sq ft for cosmetic work, $300–$500/sq ft for mid-level renovation, and $500–$800/sq ft for high-end projects. A kitchen remodel typically runs $85,000–$250,000 and a full home renovation can reach $700K–$1.5M.

Simple over-the-counter permits take 1–5 business days. DBI plan check takes 4–10 weeks. Projects requiring Planning review take 8–16 weeks. Our in-house expeditor cuts these timelines by 30–50%.
