From finding a contractor to the final walkthrough.

We act as your renovation coordinator and client representative. We help define the project, find and select a suitable contractor, then coordinate the project and represent you until it’s finished — so you don’t have to manage the renovation yourself.

Yes. Your first consultation is free, in person at your home, with no obligation. We talk through what you’d like to do, where things stand and the practical next steps. If you’d like to go ahead — for example with a written project scope, a Smart Space Design board or coordination — we’ll explain those services and fees first.

Ocean Studio is based in Richmond and serves homeowners in Richmond, Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Langley (City and Township), and Delta.

No. Ocean Studio doesn’t carry out construction. Your contractor brings the building expertise and does the work; we coordinate the project and represent you.

You do. We find suitable contractors, organize pricing and help you choose — then you sign directly with the contractor you select.

We look for contractors suited to your type and size of project and invite a shortlist to price the same scope, so you can compare them fairly. The final choice is always yours.

We represent you: we follow progress through project visits at key stages, meet with the contractor, coordinate decisions and changes, and keep you informed. The contractor remains responsible for how the work is done, its quality and site safety.

Every project is different, so we don’t work to a fixed daily schedule. We visit at key stages of the work and whenever you ask us to — and agree the approach with you before construction starts.

Ocean Studio isn’t a full-service interior design firm. Our Smart Space Design service focuses on practical space planning, storage and multifunctional furniture — and where a project needs more, we can bring in a designer and coordinate their work with your contractor.

Smart Space Design helps you make more of the rooms you already have — through better layouts, concealed storage, custom cabinetry and multifunctional furniture. Ideas are shown on a personalized design board, and we can help coordinate the work if you go ahead.

No. It’s a separate design service. The free consultation helps us understand your home and goals; if Smart Space Design would help, we’ll talk through its scope and fees with you.

Your contractor or designer typically handles permit applications. If specialists such as an architect or engineer are needed, we help you find the right type of professional and coordinate them with the rest of the project. They’re engaged by you directly.

Yes. We can step in mid-project to organize the schedule, decisions, changes and payments from wherever things currently stand.

Yes. We can put them side by side, clarify what each includes and excludes, and suggest questions to settle before you sign.

We work with homeowners on residential renovations in Richmond, Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Langley, and Delta. Every project is different — tell us about yours and we’ll let you know honestly whether we’re a good fit.

Your first in-person consultation is free. After that, fees depend on the stages you’d like support with and the size of your project — we’ll explain them before any work begins.
