Commercial Renovations Services.
Office Renovations
A well-run office renovation improves how your team works and reflects your business. We manage the entire process — scope, trades, and timeline — so your operations stay on track from day one.Childcare Facility Renovations
Childcare spaces demand more than good construction — they require safety, compliance, and care. We work with daycare operators to deliver renovations that meet licensing standards and withstand daily use.Church & Worship Space Renovations
Your space serves your community every week — a renovation shouldn't get in the way of that. We plan around your schedule and handle every detail with respect for what your space means to the people in it.
Commercial spaces have different requirements than residential ones: occupied buildings, licensing and compliance standards, tighter schedules, and little tolerance for the unexpected. Our role is to manage all of that so you don't have to — with a single point of contact, a clear plan, and a general contractor who is personally present throughout your project.
Office Renovations.
Office Renovation Contractor — Tri-Cities & Greater Vancouver
A well-managed office renovation improves how your team works, reflects your business and adds long-term value to your space. A poorly managed one can disrupt operations, run over budget and create problems you didn't anticipate.

That means a clearly defined scope, transparent pricing, realistic timelines and a single point of contact — Joe — who remains personally involved throughout your project.
Whether you're refreshing an existing office, reconfiguring a workspace or fitting out a new commercial space, we coordinate the trades, schedule and day-to-day details to keep your renovation organized and minimize disruption to your business.

Daycare & Childcare Facility Renovations.
Daycare Renovation Contractor — Tri-Cities & Greater Vancouver
Renovating a daycare or childcare facility requires more than quality construction — it requires careful planning around BC childcare licensing requirements, health and safety, inspections and the practical realities of creating spaces used every day by children, families and staff.
At Pienaar Projects, we bring a particularly relevant perspective to childcare renovations. Before founding Pienaar Projects, Joe was directly involved in the opening and operations of two Montessori childcare centres in British Columbia, giving him first-hand experience of the planning, facility requirements and operational considerations involved in getting childcare environments ready to open and function successfully.
We work with daycare operators and facility managers across the Tri-Cities and Greater Vancouver to plan and deliver renovations with licensing and operational requirements in mind. Whether you're opening a new childcare facility, expanding an existing centre, upgrading washrooms, reconfiguring classrooms and layouts, or renovating a space for a new use, we coordinate the project carefully and communicate clearly at every stage.
What You Can Expect
First-hand experience with the process of opening and operating childcare facilities in BC
Planning that considers applicable BC childcare licensing and inspection requirements
Coordination of trades, schedules and project requirements under one point of contact
Safe, clean and professional work practices
Durable, practical finishes suited to high-traffic childcare environments
Careful planning to minimize disruption when renovating an operating facility
Clear timelines, transparent pricing and proactive communication throughout
Church & Worship Space Renovations.
Church Renovation Contractor — Tri-Cities & Greater Vancouver
Churches and places of worship are more than buildings — they are active community spaces, often in use throughout the week for services, programs, meetings and events. Renovation work needs to be carefully planned around the life of the congregation, not the other way around.
At Pienaar Projects, we bring a unique understanding to church and faith-based renovation projects. Before founding Pienaar Projects, Joe spent many years in church leadership, including serving as a Senior Pastor and overseeing and supporting multiple churches. That experience provides first-hand understanding of how church facilities operate, how decisions are made and the importance of balancing budgets, timelines and practical requirements with the needs of the congregation and wider community.
We work with church leadership teams, boards and facilities committees across the Tri-Cities and Greater Vancouver to plan and deliver renovations with care and transparency. From accessibility improvements and washroom upgrades to halls, kitchens, offices and larger facility improvements, we coordinate the project from planning through to completion.
What You Can Expect
First-hand understanding of church leadership, operations and community use
Scheduling planned around services, programs and weekly activities
Clear communication with leadership teams, boards and facilities committees
Respectful and considerate work practices within faith and community environments
Clearly defined scope, transparent pricing and proactive communication around changes
Reliable coordination of trades, schedules and project requirements from start to finish
Why Pienaar Projects for Commercial Work.
Why Businesses Choose Pienaar Projects for Commercial Renovations
Commercial clients choose Pienaar Projects because they get hands-on leadership and professional project management from start to finish. Joe is personally involved in every project, providing a consistent point of contact and taking responsibility for coordinating trades, schedules, budgets and the day-to-day details that keep the work moving.
With a background spanning construction project management, operations leadership and business management, Joe understands that a commercial renovation isn't just about the construction — it's about protecting your operations, managing disruption and delivering what was agreed.
We're deliberately not a large commercial construction company where your project gets passed through layers of management. With Pienaar Projects, the owner stays involved, communication stays clear and accountability stays with one person throughout the project.

Frequently Asked Questions.
-
In many cases, yes. Commercial renovations and tenant improvements commonly require a building permit, particularly when the work involves changing the layout, adding or removing walls, plumbing, electrical, mechanical or fire-safety systems, structural work, or changing how the space will be used. The exact requirements depend on the municipality, the building and the scope of work.
For example, the City of Vancouver identifies renovations and tenant improvements to new or existing commercial spaces as work that generally requires a permit. Coquitlam similarly requires a Tenant Improvement Permit for alterations to existing commercial buildings. Separate electrical, plumbing, gas or sprinkler permits may also be required depending on the project.
-
Often, yes. We plan commercial renovations around your operations wherever possible — scheduling disruptive work outside business hours and phasing construction to keep parts of your space functional. Every project is different, and we'll walk you through what's realistic during our initial consultation.
-
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project. A straightforward office refresh may take several weeks, while a larger tenant improvement involving layout changes, plumbing, electrical, mechanical systems or significant finishing work can take several months from planning through completion.
The construction itself is only part of the timeline. Design, landlord approvals, permits, material lead times and required inspections can all affect when work can begin and how quickly the space can be completed.
At Pienaar Projects, we establish a realistic project schedule before construction begins, coordinate trades and materials in advance, and provide regular updates throughout the renovation. Where possible, we can also phase the work to help minimize disruption to your business.
Our goal isn't to promise the fastest renovation — it's to give you a clear, realistic timeline and manage the project properly against it.
