Built on Craftsmanship. Trusted in West Vancouver.

West Vancouver is not a typical construction market. The homes here, many perched above the ocean with panoramic views, others nestled in the forested privacy of the British Properties,

demand a contractor who understands how to work within these environments. Arani Construction has been doing exactly that since 2011. We specialize in high-end residential renovations where the details matter: flush-inset cabinetry, seamless floor transitions, properly engineered structural changes, and finishes that honour the architectural character of the home. Our team is small enough to be hands-on and experienced enough to get it right the first time.

Fully Licensed & Permitted

Every renovation is permitted properly through the District of West Vancouver protecting your investment and your home's resale value. We handle the paperwork so you don't have to.

Deep Local Experience

We know how West Vancouver homes are built from the post-and-beam craftsmans in Ambleside to the contemporary estates in Chartwell. That knowledge prevents surprises on your project.

A Team That Shows Up

No subcontracting surprises. Our core trades team has worked together for years. When your renovation begins, the same people who quoted you are the ones building it.

This Market Is
Different. We Know It Well.

Luxury Homes Built to a Higher Standard

Many West Vancouver homes carry price tags that reflect their quality, their views, and their location. A renovation here needs to match that standard not with flashy finishes, but with impeccable execution. We source materials from the same suppliers used by West Van's top architects, and we don't cut corners where they matter.

Thoughtful Upgrades for Older Character Homes

A significant portion of West Vancouver's housing stock dates to the 1950s through 1980s. These homes often need electrical panel upgrades, plumbing replacement, and structural reinforcement alongside cosmetic renovation. We handle all of it — bringing older homes up to modern code while preserving the character that makes them worth renovating in the first place.

Ocean-View Properties Require Special Consideration

Renovating with a view to preserve means careful material choices for moisture resistance, thoughtful window placement, and exterior finishes that hold up to salt air. We've worked extensively on properties throughout Ambleside, Dundarave, and along the waterfront we know what lasts here and what doesn't.

West Vancouver Permit Navigation

The District of West Vancouver has its own permitting requirements, setback rules, and heritage considerations especially in neighbourhoods like Ambleside and Dundarave. We handle the complete permit process, from application through inspection sign-off, so your renovation is legal, compliant, and ready for resale.
