Vancouver Neighborhoods We Serve
We work on residential projects throughout Vancouver, including established neighborhoods like Hazel Dell and Salmon Creek in the north, Felida and Minnehaha in the northwest, Orchards and Landover-Arbor in the east, and neighborhoods closer to the Columbia River waterfront to the south.
Many Vancouver homes in these neighborhoods were built in the 1950s through 1980s and are good candidates for full remodels, ADU additions, or garage builds. We assess each property individually to identify any site-specific issues before providing an estimate.
Permitting in the City of Vancouver
Residential construction projects within the City of Vancouver are permitted through the City of Vancouver Community Development Department. ADUs, additions, new garage structures, and remodels involving structural or mechanical changes all require permits before work begins. Current plan review turnaround at the City of Vancouver is approximately 4 to 10 weeks for residential projects.
We handle the complete permit application process for every project in Vancouver, including site plan preparation, permit submittal, response to plan review comments, and scheduling of all required inspections. Projects in unincorporated areas adjacent to Vancouver fall under Clark County jurisdiction and are processed through Clark County Community Development.
Why Vancouver Homeowners Work with I See Construct
We are based in Battle Ground, about 20 minutes from central Vancouver. We understand the City of Vancouver permitting process and work regularly with Clark County on projects just outside the city limits. Our crew is small by design, which means you communicate directly with the people building your project at every stage.
Every project we take in Vancouver is permitted, insured, and built to Washington State residential building code. We do not cut corners to hit an artificially low bid and we do not start work before permits are issued.
