A successful bathroom renovation begins below the visible finishes. Meiju reviews the room, defines the connected scope, sequences decisions and trades, and manages delivery through final handoff. The plan considers how waterproofing, drainage, ventilation, plumbing, electrical work, lighting, storage, clearances, and finish selections perform together.
Meiju serves Ottawa and nearby areas. Existing conditions, access, material lead times, permit requirements, and the availability of another bathroom can all affect the plan. Licensed and regulated work is coordinated with the appropriate trades where required.

Treat waterproofing, drainage, penetrations, and maintenance access as core scope.

Before you begin
How long does a bathroom renovation usually take?
A ready-to-start basic-to-standard scope typically takes 5–10 business days of active construction. Site conditions, selections, permits, inspections, access, and approved changes can affect the schedule.
Can plumbing fixtures be relocated?
Yes, when the structure and drain, vent, and supply routes support the layout. Relocation can change permits, inspections, pricing, and duration.
How is pricing calculated?
Pricing reflects the measured scope, site conditions, quantities, selections, regulated-trade requirements, access, and known risks. The final proposal confirms inclusions, allowances, taxes, and exclusions.
