So You Got Your Building Permit, Now What?
As I’ve mentioned before this whole permitting process is new to Ben and I. So I thought I’d lay out what it looks like from here in case there are others out there who are also new to this and feel like they’re wading in some pretty deep waters.
Renos: Delay, delay, Delay
I'm sure anyone who's done renovations before is familiar with the constant state of running into issues you did not foresee. For Ben and I this is our first time doing renos in a commercial space and our first time dealing with the bureaucracy that is the City of Vancouver as small business owners. Needless to say we are learning a great deal, not just about what the City requires from us, but also about how easy it is for tenants to have shoddy work done when a landlord and the City aren’t paying attention.
