Not a Cleanup Company — Eurohouse Does the Rebuild
Most companies that call themselves "fire restoration" focus on smoke and soot cleanup, deodorization, and content cleaning. That work matters — but it's only the first phase. The rebuild — structural repair, framing, roofing, building envelope, mechanical systems, interior reconstruction, and finish replacement — requires a licensed general contractor. That's where Eurohouse comes in.
For homeowners across the North Shore, Sea-to-Sky corridor, and Greater Vancouver, Eurohouse is the contractor who takes the project from the day the cleanup crew leaves to the day you move back in. We handle the structural side, the high-end finish replacement, the permit and engineering coordination, and the insurance documentation — as one licensed BC general contractor, not a chain of subcontractors.
Insurance-funded. Pacific Home Warranty certified. Working directly with all major Canadian insurers, adjusters (ClaimsPro, Crawford, Cunningham Lindsey, SCM, Granite Claims, MBC Group), independent restoration consultants, structural engineers, and building envelope consultants since 2009.

What Eurohouse Restores After Fire
One licensed GC for the full sequence — no subcontracting handoffs partway through:
- Structural repair after fire — foundations, framing, roof structure, load-bearing assemblies rebuilt to BC Building Code and beyond.
- Smoke damage interior reconstruction — material replacement and rebuild in areas where smoke and soot exceed cleaning thresholds (high-end millwork, natural wood, stone, fabric).
- Building envelope restoration — exterior walls, roofing, windows, doors, weather barrier — bringing the envelope back to or beyond pre-loss performance.
- Mechanical and electrical systems — HVAC, plumbing, electrical fully restored, often upgraded under insurer-approved code-required upgrades.
- Interior finishing — drywall, paint, flooring, cabinetry, millwork, stone, tile — high-end finishes to match or exceed pre-loss luxury level.
- Permit and engineering coordination — building permits, structural engineering, mechanical/electrical permits, development permit review, design panel approval where required.
- 3D visualization and interior design — see and approve the rebuild before construction starts. Particularly valuable when pre-loss decor cannot be recovered.
Working with Adjusters, Consultants, and Specialty Risk Divisions
Fire claims are often high-value and high-complexity — which means insurer-side specialists (specialty risk divisions, restoration consultants, structural engineers) are typically involved alongside the front-line adjuster. Eurohouse coordinates with all of them.
We speak the trade — Xactimate scope of loss, RCV vs. ACV, depreciation, trade-line pricing, recoverable depreciation, code upgrade allowances, ALE (additional living expenses) coordination. We provide the photographs, line-item pricing, and progress documentation claims require. The goal is the same as yours: a fair scope, a clean claim, and a well-built rebuild on a realistic schedule.
Insurers and adjusters we regularly work with include all major Canadian carriers, ClaimsPro Specialty Risk Division, Crawford, Cunningham Lindsey, SCM Insurance Services, Granite Claims Solutions, and MBC Group.
Featured Fire Damage Rebuild: From Fire Loss to Family Home — Vancouver
When fire destroyed this single-family home in Vancouver, the homeowners faced a devastating loss. Fortunately, comprehensive insurance coverage meant they could rebuild—and rebuild better. Eurohouse Construction was engaged to manage the complete restoration, from demolition of the fire-damaged structure through to final occupancy.
Working closely with ClaimsPro Specialty Risk Division, we coordinated every aspect of the claim while delivering a home that exceeded the original construction quality. The project demonstrates what's possible when experienced contractors, responsive adjusters, and engaged homeowners work together.
Beyond construction, we provided full interior design services including 3D visualization renderings. This allowed the clients to see and approve their new home—colors, finishes, layouts—before production began. The result: happy clients, happy insurer, and a beautiful new family home.
Full Restoration Scope
- Complete demolition of fire-damaged structure
- New foundation and structural framing
- Modern building envelope with mineral wool insulation
- New roofing, siding, and exterior finishes
- Complete mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems

Interior Design & 3D Visualization
As part of our insurance restoration services, Eurohouse offers detailed 3D renderings that let clients visualize their rebuilt home before construction. We adjust colors, finishes, and layouts based on client feedback—ensuring complete satisfaction with the final result.

Frequently Asked Questions — Fire Damage Restoration
What's the difference between a fire restoration company and a fire damage rebuild contractor?
A fire restoration company typically handles smoke and soot cleanup, deodorization, and content cleaning. A fire damage rebuild contractor — a licensed general contractor — handles the structural repair, framing, roofing, building envelope, drywall, mechanical systems, and finish reconstruction that gets the home back to a livable state. Eurohouse is the rebuild contractor. We coordinate with the cleanup crew if one is already engaged, then take over for the full structural and finish rebuild.
How long does a full fire damage rebuild take?
A complete fire damage rebuild typically takes 8-12 months depending on damage scope, permit timelines, and design complexity. Partial fire damage with smoke/water spread can be 4-6 months. The biggest variables are insurance scope approval, structural engineering requirements, and the quality of pre-loss finishes (high-end millwork, stone, custom cabinetry extend the schedule). Eurohouse manages the entire process from demolition through final occupancy.
Does Eurohouse work with insurance adjusters and specialty risk divisions on fire claims?
Yes. Eurohouse coordinates directly with insurance adjusters and specialty risk divisions including ClaimsPro Specialty Risk, Crawford, Cunningham Lindsey, SCM, Granite Claims, MBC Group, and others. We handle scope documentation, Xactimate pricing, progress reporting, and compliance requirements throughout the project.
Can I see what my rebuilt home will look like before construction begins?
Yes. Eurohouse offers 3D visualization and interior design rendering services as part of fire damage rebuild projects. Clients review and approve colors, finishes, and layouts before construction begins. This is particularly valuable for fire rebuilds because most homeowners are facing the loss of memories and pre-loss decor — seeing the design clearly in advance reduces uncertainty during a stressful time.
What about smoke damage to areas the fire didn't reach?
Smoke damage often extends well beyond the actual fire area through HVAC systems, wall cavities, and building envelope. We assess the full extent of smoke and soot impact, identify materials that need replacement vs. cleaning, and rebuild affected interiors. Smoke damage to high-end finishes (natural wood, stone, fabric) often requires full replacement rather than cleaning to restore pre-loss value.
Can I choose my own fire damage contractor in BC?
Yes. In British Columbia, homeowners are not obligated to use the contractor recommended by their insurance company. You have the right to engage your own licensed general contractor. Choosing Eurohouse means independent representation of your interests, reconstruction to pre-loss or higher quality standards, and the use of premium materials and qualified trades. Insurance-assigned contractors often focus on speed and cost minimization; Eurohouse focuses on proper restoration of luxury residences.
Will Eurohouse handle the permits and engineering for the fire rebuild?
Yes. We coordinate the building permit, structural engineering, mechanical/electrical permits, and any municipal review processes required by your jurisdiction (District of West Vancouver, City of North Vancouver, City of Vancouver, Resort Municipality of Whistler, etc.). Larger fire rebuilds may also require development permit review or design panel approval — we handle that coordination as well.
What areas does Eurohouse serve for fire damage rebuilds?
Eurohouse provides fire damage rebuild services across Vancouver, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Whistler, Squamish, and Lions Bay. We are based at 1514 Marine Drive in West Vancouver and have completed insurance-funded fire restoration projects throughout the Lower Mainland and Sea-to-Sky corridor.
