Cost of an addition in the GTA

11/15/2018 at 6:06:11 AM

$200 is based on framing ,drywall etc. On a concrete foundation!! Excavation alone will be pricey do to the 4ft access!! Small machines can only be used. The biggest cost will be excavation and disposal, that's probably why

Hi Matthew,

$900 is quite high. It is hard to say how much it would cost but as you do have limited access and what level of finish you are wanting.

Kind Regards

It is hard to say how much it should cost but $200 a square foot is an unrealistic price for sure.

It's always un accurate to price addition per the square footage? Accurate estimated can be provided only after analyzing architectural drawings with all technical details, calculating number of man-hours for completing the project and determining the total expenses for materials, fixtures and finishing products. Access to the job site also play a big roll in the price

Hi;

Usually , builders used $200 per square feet for base costs of building a new house . That is the minimum and right now it is higher than that.

This quote is for full house.

for addition because it is piece of work price is higher but how much more; depends on lots of items;

You should get some quotes then make a decision.

Good luck

Hello Matthew,

Cost Per Sq. Ft; Unfortunately this misleading and inaccurate formula continues to plague the construction industry. Pricing a project by cost per Sq. Ft. is as accurate as pricing the cost of a car per pound.

Your best approach for success is to interview 3 or 4 contractors. Interview questions should NOT be about price, but about process, Policy, Communication, Timeline, and references. Keep in mind, you will be in a relationship with this contractor for several months. You need to ensure you are both the right 'fit' for each other.

When you have narrowed your search to a couple of good candidates, then ask them to provide a detailed quote for the work.

Remember - you get what you pay for if you do your due diligence first and get prices from the right contractor first.

Hi there.....

You might have to add $50.00 per square foot to use a bobcat and container in order to get rid of the excess dirt.

Also, the neighbours sideyard needs to be fixed.

Is there a dividing fence, concrete, patio stones ......etc..

$200/sf in the gta is optimistic at best for a whole home rough budget.You cant use those numbers to estimate the cost of a one room addition. You'd have to use your drawings and price all line items out individually for a real cost analysis. You'll be way closer to 900 than 200.
