# Investment Guide

## How much does a renovation cost in Greater Victoria?

## Before you renovate, you deserve a clear picture.

Most people planning a home renovation in Greater Victoria start with the same problem: they can't get a straight answer on what it actually costs. This guide changes that.

 

### **What you'll come away with:**

 

- **Realistic cost ranges for your region** — real project scenarios and considerations for the Victoria market, not ballpark figures pulled from the internet
- **Renovation pricing that reflects today's market** — kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions, and full-home transformations, with honest ranges based on current builds
- **Why planning first changes the outcome** — how Stillwater's pre-construction process protects your budget and eliminates the surprises that derail most builds
- **Where your investment actually goes** — a transparent look at cost-plus pricing and what it means for your project
- **What to expect from taxes and contingency in BC** — the numbers most builders don't walk you through until it's too late

### **BONUS**

 

- **ADU and garden suite numbers** — compact to full suites with Vancouver Island-specific pricing, so you can evaluate what makes sense for your property
