Our Renovation Process
1. Initial Consultation & Site Visit
We meet at your home to evaluate your space and discuss your renovation goals. We review construction scope, feasibility, initial design ideas, and realistic budget expectations.

You receive a line-item estimate covering labour, materials, design, and permit fees. Work begins only after you have reviewed and approved every detail.
3. Permits & Technical Planning
We submit all architectural drawings and permit applications directly to the City of Vancouver or your local municipality. Trade schedules and material orders are locked in before site work starts.
4. Site Preparation & Demolition
Our team installs floor and dust protection throughout the surrounding areas. We execute demolition and manage all waste removal.
5. Active Construction & Trade Oversight
We manage every certified trade on-site, handling structural framing, mechanical rough-ins, drywall, and custom finish installations. You receive routine updates and direct access to your site lead.

Why Work With Abstract Homes
A Family Legacy Driven by Passion—And Over 3 Decades of Hands-On Expertise
Abstract Homes began unexpectedly when founder Sandro Stefanucci started working alongside his father-in-law installing cedar shake roofing. What began as an introduction to the trade quickly turned into a lifelong passion for residential construction. Guided by early industry mentorship, Sandro built a reputation across the Lower Mainland as a meticulous, hands-on builder who takes pride in solving the toughest structural challenges.
Over nearly four decades, Sandro and his wife, Cheri, Vice President of Abstract Homes, grew the business into a premier design-build firm. They saw a persistent problem in the industry: homeowners facing mismanaged schedules, a lack of transparent communication, and contractors cutting corners. Abstract Homes was built to offer the exact opposite: an unwavering commitment to quality craftsmanship, transparent project management, and complete accountability from initial design to final walkthrough.
Today, Abstract Homes leads the market in sustainable, high-quality work and ageless residential builds. Sandro actively serves on the Canadian Home Builders’ Association Net Zero Council, while Cheri sits on the Board of Directors for the Homebuilders Association Vancouver (HAVAN). Supported by an elite team of in-house interior designers, our team focuses on custom home design, personalized service, organized job sites, and genuine family values in every renovation. We do not just build houses; we craft tailored homes and earn clients for life.
