The Oak & Ivory Difference
Project management
is not an add-on.
It is built in.
Most homeowners hire a designer and a contractor separately, then spend months in the middle — fielding calls, relaying decisions, and trying to keep two teams aligned. That is not how we work.
At Oak and Ivory, Danielle is both your certified interior designer and your General Contractor Licensed project lead. She knows what the design requires and what the build demands — which means decisions get made faster, problems get caught earlier, and your renovation runs the way it was planned.
Every project is managed with our cost-plus model. You see every invoice, every material cost, and every trade quote. No lump sums. No hidden fees. Just a clear picture of where your money is going at every stage.
WHAT WE HANDLE
Everything, so you do not have to.
Trade Scheduling & Coordination
A complete transformation from top to bottom. We manage the full scope — design, permits, trades, and construction — so you have one point of contact from the first conversation to the final walk-through. No handoffs, no gaps.
Budget Tracking
Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, full-home renovations — and the smaller projects most contractors won't touch. Licensed, managed, and done right.
Permit Management
We coordinate every trade, timeline, and decision on your behalf. Hands-off for you — hands-on from us, from permit to punch list.
Material Procurement & Delivery
Offices, retail spaces, and commercial interiors that work as hard as your business. We handle the design and the build.
On-Site Quality Control
We visit the site regularly to check that work is being completed to spec. If something is not right, we catch it before it is covered up — saving you the cost and headache of fixing it later.
Client Communication & Reporting
You will always know where your project stands. We provide regular updates, flag decisions that need your input, and keep communication clear so you can make confident choices without feeling overwhelmed.
How It Works
From plan to walk-through.
Pre-Construction Planning
We start with a conversation — your goals, your budget, your timeline. No pressure, no jargon. Just clarity.
Trade Onboarding & Scheduling
We start with a conversation — your goals, your budget, your timeline. No pressure, no jargon. Just clarity.
Active Site Management
Our licensed team manages every trade and timeline. You get updates — not surprises.
Final Walkthrough & Deficiency Review
Our trusted trades execute the build to spec. We oversee quality at every stage, handle the final punch list, and walk you through your finished space — the one you have been picturing since the first meeting.
Renovation Project Management in Kelowna
Why project management matters on every
Kelowna renovation
A renovation in Kelowna involves more moving parts than most homeowners expect. From permit applications with the City of Kelowna to coordinating plumbers, electricians, tile setters, cabinet installers, and painters — each trade has its own schedule, its own requirements, and its own definition of "done." Without someone managing the sequence, delays compound and costs climb.
At Oak and Ivory Building Co., project management is not a separate service you add on. It is the foundation of how every project runs. Danielle Ursulan is a certified interior designer and General Contractor Licensed professional, which means she understands both the design intent and the construction reality of every decision made on your renovation.
Our cost-plus pricing model is central to how we manage budgets. Unlike contractors who quote a lump sum and absorb (or hide) the variance, we share every cost with you in real time. You see what materials cost, what trades are charging, and where your budget stands at every stage of the project. There are no surprises at the end because there are no hidden markups along the way.
We work with a vetted network of Kelowna trades who understand our standards and our process. When you hire Oak and Ivory, you are not just getting a designer or a contractor — you are getting a single point of accountability for your entire renovation, from the first permit application to the final walk-through.
Whether you are renovating a kitchen in Lower Mission, a bathroom in Glenmore, or completing a whole-home renovation in West Kelowna, the same principle applies: a well-managed renovation costs less, takes less time, and produces a better result than one managed by committee. That is what we deliver.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Project management, answered.
Can't find what you're looking for?
Reach out directly, we're happy to help.
Do I need a separate project manager if I hire Oak and Ivory?
No. Project management is built into every renovation and design-build project we take on. As a General Contractor Licensed firm with a certified interior designer leading every project, we handle trade coordination, scheduling, budget tracking, and permit management from start to finish. You have one point of contact for everything.
What does renovation project management actually cost in Kelowna?
At Oak and Ivory, project management is included in our design-build fee rather than billed as a separate line item. We use a cost-plus model, which means you see every cost transparently — there are no hidden management markups buried in a lump sum price. We discuss fee structure in detail during your initial consultation.
How do you handle trades and subcontractors?
We work with a vetted network of Kelowna trades who we have built relationships with over years of project work. We schedule them, brief them on the design intent, review their work, and hold them accountable to the project timeline and quality standard. You do not have to source, vet, or manage any subcontractor yourself.
What happens if something goes wrong during the renovation?
That is exactly why having a project manager matters. When issues come up — and they always do on a renovation — we identify them early, assess the options, and bring you a clear recommendation rather than a problem. Our GCL designation means we understand construction well enough to catch issues before they become expensive.
Can you manage a renovation if I already have a contractor?
Yes. If you have an existing contractor relationship but need design direction and project oversight, we can step in as the design and coordination lead. We work collaboratively with contractors and are experienced at integrating into projects that are already in motion.
Do you manage commercial renovation projects in Kelowna?
Yes. We manage commercial renovation projects including office spaces, retail fit-outs, and short-term rental properties across Kelowna and the Okanagan. Commercial projects have different permit and code requirements than residential, and our GCL designation means we are equipped to handle both.
