Van Dycke Projects is a fixed price renovation contractor in Steinbach, Manitoba. You get one number after a single walk-through, and it does not move. The company does not negotiate that number. A lower price would mean fewer hours, cheaper materials, or a cost that returns later as a change order.
What does a lower renovation price actually remove?
When a renovation contractor drops the price, the work does not get cheaper to do. Something has to give. It is usually the grade of the materials, the hours spent on prep, or the care taken to protect your home.
Van Dycke Projects prices the job to do it once and do it right. The quote covers the real finishes you picked and the labour they take. There is no padding in the number to discount, so cutting it would mean cutting the work itself.
A cheaper quote can also be the start of a slow climb. The price looks good on day one, then grows through the job. The final cost tells the real story, not the first number.
Why do change orders show up on other jobs?
A change order is an extra charge added during a job for work that was not in the original contract. On many renovations, a low starting price leans on allowances. An allowance is a placeholder budget for something you have not chosen yet, like tile or a faucet.
When an allowance is set too low, the real cost lands later as a change order, and the total climbs. Van Dycke Projects prices your actual selections up front instead. That is why the one number holds and change orders are not part of the plan.
Van Dycke Projects builds the fixed price to prevent a few common surprises:
- Allowances that start low and climb once you pick real materials
- Change orders for work that was clear at the walk-through
- Separate trades adding their own charges mid-project
What actually sets a Van Dycke Projects price?
What moves a Van Dycke Projects price is mostly what you choose to install, decided before you commit. A tiled shower and a pre-made shower unit are different projects at different costs. Flooring, faucets, lighting, and the vanity all shift the number too.
Travel does not. For any home inside the Steinbach service area, travel is built into the price and never shows up as a line item. The quote you see already includes the crew reaching your home.
How does a fixed price renovation contractor hold one price start to finish?
Van Dycke Projects sets the price after a single walk-through of your home, then puts it in writing with the plan and schedule. One team owns the whole project, so no trade shows up mid-job with a surprise bill. You are not chasing separate quotes or coordinating anyone.
Once you commit, that number is fixed, and unrequested changes do not appear. The plan you approved is the plan the crew follows.
What does the fixed price let you stop chasing?
The fixed price is one part of a bigger promise from Van Dycke Projects. One team owns the job, so you are not managing it. You do not line up separate trades, wait on three quotes, or chase anyone for an update.
The company calls itself a hospitality company that happens to renovate homes. The fixed number is where that starts. You agree once, then the crew carries the plan while you get on with your life.
Before you compare quotes, ask each contractor what their allowances assume and what could trigger a change order. With Van Dycke Projects, the walk-through answers both up front.
