2025 is off to an interesting start with a trade war, a new Prime Minister, and some economic uncertainty. Here in British Columbia, it feels like business as usual, given the past few years. Big projects like Oakridge Park and St. Paul’s Hospital are moving along nicely. Meanwhile, small businesses across the province are working hard to survive and thrive. We're happy to share that most commercial tenant improvement building permits in BC are being processed faster than last year, especially in Vancouver. Plus, we've got a great opportunity to support Canadian businesses even more, and we're excited to do just that.
The information in this guide has been gathered by our team, working closely with our industry and project partners. Cutler has been involved in commercial tenant improvement projects since 2010, completing over 500 projects in BC. We know that commercial tenant improvements can be challenging, so we created this guide to help you understand the basics.
