For over 30 years, Next Day Services has been serving the Lower Mainland with expert solutions for HVAC, mechanical systems, renovations, pools and decks, and much more.

Permits, Inspections & Code Compliance

We apply for and obtain all required permits required to ensure the project meets all building codes. We handle the paperwork, submit applications, and coordinate directly with the municipality.

We also schedule all necessary inspections at the appropriate stages of the project and make sure any required corrections are addressed promptly.

Our goal is to ensure your project is fully compliant, safe, and approved without you having to worry about the process.

It should be noted that legally, the ultimate responsibility for acquiring permits rests with the property owner, but as we do this for living, we will apply for and acquire the permits of your behalf.

Protecting Your Home During the Project

We take great care to protect your home throughout the project. This includes:

• Floor Protection: We use drop cloths, runners, or protective sheeting to prevent damage to flooring and high-traffic areas.

• Dust Containment: We seal off work areas with plastic barriers and use dust control tools (like vacuums and air scrubbers) to minimize dust spreading to other parts of the home.

• Security: We ensure doors and windows are secured at the end of each workday, and we limit site access to authorized personnel only.

Respecting your space is a top priority, and we treat your home like it’s our own.

Use of Subcontractors

Yes, along with our own technicians, we do work with trusted subcontractors to bring specialized skills to your project.

We carefully select subcontractors based on their experience, reliability, and quality of work. All subcontractors we work with are fully licensed, insured, and vetted to meet our high standards.

We manage and coordinate their work closely to ensure schedules, quality, and safety requirements are consistently met, so you get a seamless and professional experience from start to finish.

Our Typical Process

1. Initial Contact – We discuss your needs, answer questions, and schedule a site visit if needed.

2. Site Visit & Consultation – We meet on-site to assess the scope, take measurements, and understand your goals.

3. Proposal & Estimate – We provide a clear estimate outlining the scope, timeline, and costs.

4. Planning & Approvals – Once approved, we finalize details, gather any required permits, and prepare the schedule.

5. Construction – We carry out the work with regular updates, ensuring quality and safety throughout.

6. Final Walkthrough – We review the completed work with you, address any last details, and ensure your satisfaction.

Information Needed for an Accurate Estimate

To provide you with the most precise and detailed estimate, please have the following information ready when you contact us:

• A clear description of the project scope and goals

• Project location and any site access details

• Approximate dimensions or size of the area involved

• Any design plans, drawings, or specifications available

• Desired materials or finishes (if known)

• Project timeline or preferred start date

• Budget considerations (if applicable)

• Any special requirements or constraints (e.g., permits, building codes, accessibility)

Providing these details helps us assess the project thoroughly and deliver an accurate, transparent estimate tailored to your needs.

During planning, we’ll discuss your operational needs and create a construction schedule that fits around them. Our goal is to keep your business running smoothly while completing the project efficiently and safely.

We're used to working in active environments and always aim to be as unobtrusive as possible.

Our Safety Protocols

Safety is our top priority on every job site. We follow strict safety protocols to protect our team, clients, and the public. Our safety practices include:

• Comprehensive site safety assessments before work begins

• Mandatory personal protective equipment (PPE) for all workers when required

• Regular safety training and toolbox talks to keep everyone informed and vigilant

• Clear communication of safety procedures and emergency plans

• Compliance with all local, provincial, and federal safety regulations and standards

• Continuous monitoring and supervision to ensure safe work practices are followed

• Prompt reporting and thorough investigation of any incidents or near-misses to prevent recurrence

By maintaining a strong safety culture, we strive to create a secure working environment where risks are minimized, and everyone can focus on delivering high-quality work.

How We Determine Project Costs

We offer flexible pricing structures to suit different project needs, including:

• Fixed Bid: A set price agreed upon before work begins, ideal for well-defined projects with clear scopes.

• Cost-Plus: You pay for actual costs incurred plus a pre-agreed fee or percentage, offering transparency for projects where scope may evolve.

• Time and Materials: Billing based on actual hours worked and materials used, suitable for projects with uncertain or changing requirements.

Several factors influence the overall cost, such as:

• Project size and complexity

• Materials and equipment required

• Labor needs and schedule constraints

• Site conditions and accessibility

• Permits and regulatory requirements

• Any custom or specialized work involved

We work closely with you to choose the best pricing approach and provide detailed estimates to ensure clarity and confidence throughout the project.

Licensing & Insurance

Yes, we are fully licensed to operate as a general contractor in British Columbia. Our licenses ensure we meet all legal requirements and industry standards for construction work.

We carry comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability insurance to protect your property and workers’ compensation insurance for our team’s safety and compliance. This coverage helps safeguard you from liability and financial risks during the project.

Your project is in safe, qualified hands when you work with us.

Experience with ACA Compliance

Yes, we are familiar with ACA (Accessible Canada Act) compliance and the accessibility requirements that apply to commercial spaces. This includes guidelines for barrier-free design—such as door widths, ramp slopes, washroom accessibility, signage, and clearances for mobility devices.

We stay informed about federal and provincial accessibility standards and work with architects, inspectors, and building officials to ensure all accessibility requirements are met in both new builds and renovations.

If your project has specific accessibility goals or compliance needs, we’ll address them in the planning phase and ensure they’re fully integrated into the construction process.

Next Steps After You Hire Us

Once you decide to move forward with our services, here’s what to expect:

1. Contract Signing: We will prepare a detailed contract for larger projects outlining the project scope, timeline, costs, and terms for your review and signature.

2. Deposit Payment: A deposit of 50% is required to secure your project in our schedule and begin procurement of materials.

3. Project Planning: Our team will finalize the project plan, schedule, and coordinate any necessary permits or approvals.

4. Project Kickoff: We’ll confirm the start date with you and mobilize our team to begin work on-site, maintaining clear communication throughout the process.

Our goal is to ensure a smooth, transparent process from start to finish so you feel confident and informed every step of the way.

Building Code Compliance

We stay up to date with local building codes and regulations through ongoing professional development, close relationships with municipal inspectors, and experience working in this region.

Before starting any project, we review the current code requirements relevant to the scope of work. Throughout construction, we follow best practices to ensure compliance and quality, and we address any updates or changes to code as they arise.

Our team is committed to delivering work that is safe, legal, and built to last.

Minimizing Disruption on Our Projects

We understand that construction work can impact daily life and business operations, so we take proactive steps to minimize any disruption on-site:

• Dust Control: We use dust barriers, air scrubbers, and regular cleaning to keep dust contained and maintain a clean environment throughout the project.

• Noise Management: We schedule noisy activities during designated hours and use quieter equipment whenever possible to reduce noise impact on occupants and neighbors.

• Careful Scheduling: We plan work phases strategically to avoid peak occupancy times and coordinate with building occupants to ensure smooth progress without unnecessary interruptions.

• Communication: We keep all stakeholders informed of upcoming work, potential impacts, and timelines so everyone knows what to expect.

Our goal is to deliver quality results while respecting your space and minimizing inconvenience.

Can You Stay in Your Home During Renovations?

In many cases, yes — homeowners can stay in their home during renovations, especially for smaller or phased projects. We plan work to minimize disruption and keep living areas safe and accessible whenever possible.

However, for larger projects that involve major structural work, plumbing/electrical shutdowns, or full-home access, temporary accommodations may be recommended for your comfort and safety.

We’ll always discuss this with you during the planning phase so you can make an informed decision based on the scope and timeline of the work.

If you prefer, you are welcome to provide your own materials or specific products, and we’ll coordinate their integration into the project to ensure proper installation and quality.

We provide detailed invoices outlining work done and costs incurred at each stage. If you have any questions about payment schedules or terms, we’re happy to discuss them upfront.

We establish timelines based on a detailed scope of work, availability of materials, and required permits. Once a schedule is set, we communicate key milestones and keep you updated throughout the project.

We proactively manage progress with regular site checks and coordination with trades to stay on track. If unexpected delays arise—due to weather, supply issues, or site conditions—we inform you right away, explain the impact, and offer solutions to keep things moving with minimal disruption.
