Ask before you hire
- 01Do you have a BC Housing Licensed Residential Builder number?
- 02Who's your project manager on-site, and how often will they be there?
- 03Is this a fixed-price contract, cost-plus, or time-and-materials?
- 04What's the dispute-resolution clause if scope changes mid-project?
- 05Can I see three recent Kamloops references I can call?
Red flags to watch for
- Asking the homeowner to pull permits so the GC avoids liability.
- No written contract — verbal quotes on six-figure renovations are a recipe for disputes.
- Deposits over 25% up front, or weekly payment demands disconnected from milestones.
- Reluctance to share WCB, liability, or builder-license numbers when asked.
Permits & licensing
The City of Kamloops requires permits for structural work, additions, decks over 60 cm, plumbing and electrical rough-ins, and most exterior changes. Your GC should pull permits on your behalf — homeowner-pulled permits leave you liable for trade defects.
When to book
Exterior work (additions, siding, decks) is scheduled April–October. Interior reno season peaks October–March when the trades are less booked. Book 2–4 months ahead for full kitchen or bath projects.
